There’s also this “tap a goal kick to the keeper” tactic that’s emerged. Just because you can do it now doesn’t mean you have to. If our NL players see either of these things and try to copy, forgetting they’re NL for a reason, it’s just a disaster waiting to happen. As somebody said earlier ” if the ball is in the opposition half they’re unlikely to score.”
The late Ron Ashman used to say pre-match “If we have the ball in their penalty area they cannot score in our goal”.
And our passing over recent seasons has not been of a consistent acceptable standard. That must be our aim if we want to move up the leagues.
