The commentators kept saying on Thursday night how well the Dees set up “ behind the ball”.
But the Sydney defenders countered this very effectively by switching…….a long kick slightly backwards to an unattended player wide on the other side of the ground. Options often then open up along the wings, and sometimes in the “corridor”.
Most other sides switch a lot more often than the Dees.
Sometimes switching fails ,and the wide receiver has no options upfield. In this case, there’s nothing wrong with switching again, even though it’s frustrating for fans.
Did anyone else notice how switching worked for Sydney.?
