To me the interesting thing was that Robinson played five at the back and used the fullbacks as wingbacks. Unlike his usual tactics of playing four at the back and still expecting the fullbacks to be wingbacks. The defense thus looked a lot tighter unlike league games when the wing backs bombing forward left huge gaps at the back.
It was a 4 (Long, Mous, Jones, Elechi)-2 (Henry, Kelly)-3 (Cooper, Hall, Obita)-1 (Winnall) formation or a 4-4-1-1 formation when Obita/Cooper dropped back.
