Here’s my post-match tactical analysis of yesterday’s draw at Roots Hall, between Southend United and York City.

I analyse the tactical battle, assess both side’s pressing structures, and explain why York had so much of the possession.

It's that stat about possession that worried me most Saturday.

Not many teams last year could beat us for possession and Saturday was a mile apart from last year, as was the long ball game.

Had more of a pre season feel about it tbh in terms of trying things that should have been ironed before the start of the season.

We desperately need a couple of goal scorers in midfield.

I know xg has sort of replaced it - but how many shots on and off target from each team?

For all of Yorks possession I didnt think they created too many opportunities - at least until last 5 to 10 mins. That said we equally didn't create much.

Problem is against a side that scores as few as we do you only have to score one and you are unlikely to lose….it too shall pass….in due course…
