Yeah you're right, any other manager worth his wage is going to look at us and say right they're going to pass it about and look for a gap through the lines or go over the top so let's keep tight in midfield and at the back and press at the attack. Our players I'm not sure have the ability to get past the attacking press and open up space or play the right ball over the top as alot of our runs from deep come to nothing. If the players just had some more faith in their ability to step into space and drive forward especially at the back where there is chance to then it'll open up the whole pitch but they just pass it sideways or back to the keeper. I really do think we need to see some more ambition and risk with the ball but can our players match up to IBs tactics.
