I'm not sure if it was a deliberate tactic or if it just worked out that way on the night but it looked to me like Stewart was playing the advanced midfield role and Virtue a more defensive role.
This could have been a deliberate tactic to try and break down Crewe high up the pitch but it seemed to leave us lacking the defensive solidity that Steward adds and the attacking attributes that Virtue brings.
They did switch throughout the game but Steward was far more advanced than he usually would be for most of the game.
I'm not knocking Critch, it was a tactic worth trying but I do think we lost the tactical battle.
You win some, you lose some. Tonight was a hard fought point won, in the end. UTMP!
