With being Southport it is as you said impossible with the quality of players to play fluid, fast passing football. I find that playing rigid football allows my players to be much harder to break down and not prone to losing out when the opposition counters, forcing most of the chances to come from long shots it has been working well at my short time at Southport.

But once I have the ball keeping my shape allows the not so intellegent players to stay where they are told and act as plenty of options for passes to keep the ball going forward. Playing with talented wingers and a fantastic target man I can split defenses very well creating alot of space behind and getting alot of chances against the keeper, if only my advanced forward was a little quicker on the ball to take advantage, but it does create football that is good to watch whilst playing the game and bearing in mind.
