In a close game on a wet day, get back to basics. That cost them the game IMO.I get the feeling the Filth are allowing Sidebottom to hang back, and by hanging back he's being left unattended as the least threatening option, but the problem is he is the most reliable.
Club's would be better off forcing the Filth to target one of the kids on the rebound and keep Sidebottom locked down even if Sidebottom drags someone away and stays wide of play. At least when the ball is in some kids hand they are 50/50 in decision making and ball use, they'll make more mistakes than Sidebottom.
