Among it�s many problems, at least as far as the Victory are concerned, is that it asks far too much, from a defensive perspective, of the wide men, Harry Kewell on the left and Marco Rojas on the right on Saturday, especially with the defence sitting so deep.
Starting these two in the same line, or just a touch advanced of Grant Brebner and Leigh Broxham, means that they are playing far too deep and shouldering too much defensive responsibility.
In the past two games it has meant that Kewell, in particular, has been too isolated from the front two, Archie Thompson and Jean Carlos Solorzano.
This contrasts to the three or four games before Launceston when he seemed to be used higher, in a 4-2-3-1, and had more of an influence in the front third.
What has also been evident in the past two games is that Kewell doesn�t appear to have been given license to roam across the forward line, where he can link with the likes of Thompson and Solorzano. He has essentially been working in the left corridor, up and down.
With his extra defensive burden in the flat four, it was perhaps no surprise the find Kewell replaced an hour into the derby.
On the other side, with Rojas sitting too deep, it was the Heart who took the initiative, with Craig Goodwin having a splendid debut.
Young winger Marco Rojas, who has been a more regular fixture in the starting line up in recent weeks, was singing the new coach's praises yesterday, particularly his humorous criticism.
''They [Magilton and Durakovic] have different views on football. He's [Magilton] given us that confidence, that's all you need in football. He's helped out a lot of players and that's why it's getting better for us,'' Rojas said.

Hi I'm Marco Rokas
Yeah I wondered that too. Like surely if he was committed to NZ he'd be like I am eligible but I've declared my future with NZ. Not I'm not sure of the rules, but I think I could go and play for them.
