    Kicking

    Why, on the windiest day of the year, is Schofield kicking the ball as high as he can? We immediately lose possession and get put under pressure when the balls holds up in the wind and blows off course.

    It is quite apparent after the last few months, that he can't kick. England Under 20? You're having a laugh.

    It’s incredibly frustrating these long high balls from the keeper that are taking an age as well.

    We are playing our best with the ball on the floor and Morecambe can’t cope with it. So why not roll it out?

    Also we are not taking the opportunity to counter attack from the keeper. Instead waiting for everyone to get back up field.

    I don’t know if it’s a tactic to slow the game down, but we need to win games of football and quickly. A few quick balls from the keeper would help while all their players are back in our last third. Like what Kasper used to do.

    Absolutely. Also when kicking is you keeper's weakest attribute, why would you keep passing back to him to punt it forwards?

    Just poor coaching and a lack of intelligence.

    Occasionally they were pressured by attackers (entirely their own doing by passing backwards), but there were other outlets other than the keeper.

    I hate passing back to the keeper almost as much as the notion of strikers taking corners. It should be an absolute last resort.
