Our defenders get a rough ride. They are asked to play in a way that 99% of defenders at our level would struggle to be consistently good at. They are often left exposed when WE give the ball away in poor areas.
The risk v reward nature of the way we play has so far reaped points.
Once we start adding players in that can defend better , but couldn’t pass wind, the way we play becomes nullified. Yes there is an argument of, get it forward and play in their third. However, does that then not nullify the strengths of others?
We are clearly not a club that wants to spend beyond its means and maybe some of our budget went on the improved contract for Macca and signing Didzy.
We have a coach who plays a certain way and the points he has picked up since he began is extraordinary. Sure, there will be times when could’ve, should’ve and would’ve will come in to play. No we are not Man City. We are Notts County, and we have a proper identity for the first time in a long time. It should be cherished and not picked apart every time if doesn’t quite work.
