There is no midfield going forward. 4- 2- 3-1 doesn't work as there are massive gaps between all the forward players. There's no use having people with the talent of Tabs and Sanders playing so deeply. Where's the link with the forwards.
I'd go for a 3 at the back so we have wing backs to push up the pitch so the 'wingers' can come inside and add bodies to the middle of the pitch.
One positive for me was Conway who looked to have some desire to get forward.
No shots on goal for 95 mins?

I hate to say it but its the academy and coaching....What do the players do at RH only pass the ball back and too to each other? Its easy to remedy...Fine every player that passes the ball back and tell them its essential to pass the ball FORWARD or better still do what you arw supposed to do in football...RUN for goal!

Same old with coaches steeped in passing...Same as England did just now...Where are all the players of the old days that had skills to run, beat the mean and shoot at goal...Fans should not have to pay for this dross...
