Were we really mauling teams… I think we were playing much the same way we just created and took more chances and somehow kept a couple of clean sheets.
The team is similar to last season minus a couple of the better players and the ones added are a downgrade.
New manager who was a part of the failed management team from last year.
A different way of playing, 5-3-2 but still one dimensional and predictable.
No width – only a couple of wingers left in the squad who are being put into a 10 or false 9 or make shift striker.
One right back, love the fact he’s one of our own but I don’t think he’s good enough and he’s got zero competition.
Midfield is weak and needs a Ball winner who breaks up play, stops the opposition but then gets us forwards.
We are still winning plenty of corners but they feel pointless… do we work on them?
Add in the long throws!
We are supposed to be fitter… not seeing it!
We are set up to build from a clean sheet and I understand the philosophy of that but it’s removed our attacking intent.
We still create chances, we always will because we’ve still got good players for the level who are training full time and playing mostly part time semi pro players!
I too want to see wingers and strikers, Carlton scored tons from the wing last year so get him on the wing when he’s fit enough.
Danny needs help up front, he’s working harder than ever but he’s not in the area where he’s at his best enough, his hold up play is great but that takes him away from his fox in the box position too often.
I could go on.
Yes we are top but we’ve looked unconvincing mostly this season.
Hope we get it figured out and the football is (A) Enjoyable and (B) Delivering the points needed to get us back into the league above and beyond.
Rant over.
