For me, the two midfielders bring very different qualities to our game and last night it was quite evident. In the first half, Virtue was often in an advanced position in and around the box, creating chances, as well as breaking up play AKA the role that Dougall plays. He worked hard last night considering this was his first outing for a few months and already has shown he has a lot to offer when we need to push on against stubborn defences.
NC then brought Williams on for the second half to sit and hold and play those long diagonal balls into the corners on the counter as he knew that Fleetwood would bring on madden in an attempt to change the tempo up top and redress the balance of our first half possession. Williams does a lot of work in front of the back four that often goes unnoticed. This was cute from NC and CC as they clearly are now using the squad far more intelligently.
Both players have differing but excellent qualities that NC can use as the next set of games require. A positive to come out of last night for me
