Recent lineups taken from Wyscout
Predicted line-up & key changes since away game last month
Key Threat 1: Scott Fraser (LCM/AM)
Video example: Fraser attacking the box to shoot. We see him access the box most regularly through dribbling in tight spaces, intelligent movement to receive a pass into box & good positioning to find deeper spaces for balls from wide areas. An example of each is shown below
Fraser creativity, collecting the ball in left side pocket & playing a very clever through pass
Key Threat 2: Cameron Jerome
Video shows examples of Cameron Jerome's movement to run in behind between defenders & position between defenders for balls into the box in order to find space
Style of play. *spoiler* MK like to have the ball...
Some key insights from their performance data
Defensive corner setup & potential weaknesses. Split by when a team sends a player short & does not. Sending a player short creates more opportunities to exploit by creating a free man inside 6 yard box. Also note how player on edge of box is left in time & space
Good practice example - Burton. Burton, despite being bottom, got a credible 1-1 draw with MK. They pressed high up the pitch forcing the keeper long & looked to exploit space out wide behind WBs from the turnovers created. They also scored by utilising the free man from corners
Conclusion: below would be the key messages I hope Darren Ferguson has relayed to players ahead of tomorrow. The black writing shows the MK Dons habit & the green is how Posh should look to respond
