I have noticed that when we go forward, particularly against the bottom half teams, the forwards and midfielders seem to be all out attack leaving the defence exposed. Either we play a high line , which shortens the distance but we have slow centre backs so are vulnerable to the ball over the top or the Forward winning the flick. The alternative is the defence drop off but we are still vulnerable to the counter attack like against Altrincham. We seemed to have more energy or discipline in the first half of the season. We also had Dec Howe who defended from the front and made the press effective
