On the subject of wrong sides for CBs, to me it seems less important than whether the CB can play a high line or needs a deeper line.  One of our CBs needs a deeper line and it affects the entire back four.  Passing angles, positioning of midfield, everything gets harder and harder the more deeply the team plays. 

Saw a good example of this on Saturday. Bournemouth are a decent side but they shouldn't have 25 shots and 13 corners against us. 

They only had 4 of 25 on target though - if teams average 1 in 6 on target against us then we're doing something right and limiting them to potshots

Or getting the benefit of some good fortune because our opponent is wasteful/having a bit of an off day. Look, our defenders worked hard and played fairly well on Saturday, but I wouldn't want to make a habit of sitting that deep and conceding that many shots/corners...especially against midtable opposition.

Yeah weird one that, Those stats were extremely misleading, we were far superior

We were the better side,also if teams can't hit the target they won't win games and think we had 6 shots and 5 hit the target Saturday.
