If anyone is bored have a count of how many non forward passes we make.
So sideways and backwards.
I watched one of our defenders t’other night in 2nd half, had full endeavour at half way line to stride forward with the ball.
Got 5 yards or so about turn and ball went backwards 20 yards.
Not just defenders though is it.
Not sure I agree with that.
On Tuesday night the defence spent most of the time hitting it long into the wide areas hoping Beags and Cleveland were still playing for us!
Sideways/back passes came about when Moors were pressing us (which they did pretty well). Though there was noticeably less “to me, to you” at the back than of late.
