That’s made harder when slow build up means opposition can have 9 or 10 players back in the box.

Forgot to say in last post, there is a 3rd strategy - play more or less the same game as opposition, make yourself difficult to score against, and hope you have enough quality to nick one. Ends up with crappy games for the most part. It seems to be what we’re doing away from home, and if we nab the first goal, play can open up. Unfortunately, of late that hasn’t been happening. It might be why we are all frustrated, but over the season it has got us to where we are. Recent injuries have acted as a bit of a leveller. Still, if we were offered stuffy games but getting up at the start of the season, I think most would have taken it.
