As IB said post match we needed to get behind them , so why didnt we try going long for a time.It would have stopped us being boxed in , stopped the press and enabled our midfield to get a foothold..
The positive was if we took our chances we could have been 3 up and they were out of it.
PS..Why do we not have one (if not two)players with pace upfront or in midfield giving us the option of countering from corners.? For an example how it pays dividends see Grimsby!
My thoughts too, having not seen them away recently I’ve been fortunate on the whole to see really good performances and didn’t realise we had this sort of performance in us. We r lacking a bit of pace but they didn’t really have any, we just lost all the battles all over the pitch. They were pressing ridiculously high off goal kicks but even if we went long I think it would have come straight back. Hopefully it’s a turning point, I think the ominous “Team meeting” needs to happen and they need to realise they could possibly throw away all the good work they had done before these three games.
