Each time I watch York City play, Joe Felix seems to be used in a different role in the build-up.
• Right-back
• Left-back
• Inverted full-back into a double-pivot
• #10 in a 3-2-5
A key part of Adam Hinshelwood’s fluid system. 🔑

Ollie Pearce is proving why he was the hottest property on the market in the summer.
Leads the press with intensity, aggressive in duels, can drop deep to overload the midfield, offers an outlet in transition, and has devastating quality in-front of goal.

Hartlepool limited Barnet to just 0.97 expected goals - their lowest total in any National League match so far this season.
They now haven't conceded in the league at Victoria Park in almost two months, and gave a defensive masterclass versus Barnet in a 0-0 draw.

Southend went with a 4-3-3 from the start on Tuesday.
I think it will just be a short-term fix until some players return to full fitness.
There are some tactical benefits to it, such as a greater threat in transition, but I’m not convinced by it in the medium-term.

Callum Stead is one of the most multifaceted forwards in the National League!
He can drop deep to assist the build-up, run in-behind, offer an outlet after defending deep, lead the press with intensity, and thrive in the half-spaces.
He’s averaging 0.51 goals per 90 for Barnet this season, too!

Joe Felix is proving to be a crucial part of Adam Hinshelwood’s system at York City.
His profile and tactical understanding enables him to be used in a number of different roles within the build-up; whether that be as a full-back, in the pivot, or in the last line of attack. 👇

It’s harsh to be too critical of Yeovil yesterday after they had to play almost the entirety of the match with ten men.
However there were clear signs, even after that early stage of the match, that York’s tactics were going to be too much for them to handle.

Yeovil’s next two matches will give us a great insight into whether Mark Cooper’s tactics are conducive to getting them competing at the top of the National League.
They’re currently 8th, one point from the play-offs, but play the two best tactical teams in the division next.

As yesterday's match vs. Forest Green proved, the single pivot that York sometimes use has the potential to be exposed in defensive transition - as I identified in my tactical analysis article for @analystsbar.bsky.social.
It had a direct influence in Forest Green’s second goal in a 2-0 victory.
