    If they are tackling in their own penalty area or playing statues in the middle of the park then they aren't likely to be in a position to get any ball good or bad are they are?

    They come back to defend because they have been instructed to by this and the past half a dozen or more managers so we can't lay that at the players' door.

    If they aren't getting ball, players at all levels will come back to try and get it. If they still aren't getting passed to they will become frustrated and that will either lead to bookings (Lawro) or a lack of movement (Coldplay) or haste in control when it does finally come and result in the gentle first touch of a rapist (Waggy).

    At Reading, for the first time in ages, players were looking to play a forwards pass. Knight did get glared at early doors for doing so but when it started to create (half) chances, the more senior players followed suit, not all the time but it all led to us having 7 shots on target. That's as many as in the previous 3 or 4 games combined.
