Silverback, isn't the way that NW plays usually pack 10 in the box and put one forward up top for the quick attack? This doesn't support the idea that NW doesn't mind a slow game. They promote a slow game the way that they usually play against strong opponents. The past two years that they have met Irmo, they pack it in to keep the score down and try to play for PK's, or they play for that one lapse that the defense makes to allow them to score. They intentionally slow the pace down, and I don't see this as an advantage for FM, just my oppinion though.....
