Our style depends on the opponent imo as demonstrated with Peterborough and others.

We seem to struggle a bit against defensively compact teams who keep their defensive shape and defend the box like Wigan did. At the same time we are vulnerable to the counter attack with our wing backs pushed on and our iffy back 3.

The simple reason why we're not as good as last season is because the replacement signings in defence are nowhere near the standard as the ones that we let go.

The defence last season was championship quality. Mads, B Thomas, Kitching. They are all comfortable at that level. Our current defence, as I said in another thread, would ship 100 goals in the championship. Of that I'm convinced and let's be fair, it dunt take a great deal of football knowledge to work that one out.


It can possibly be amended and our play off/promotion bid made more realistic by signing an experienced defender or 2 this January- something most of us pointed out this summer in the wake of the defensive departures.

The board just refuse to use any common sense. They clearly haven't looked at the history behind us having a fire sale and not replacing departing players adequately or adding any experience to help the 'potential' on their way forward. This happened to Hecky in 2017 and Stendel in 2019. How stupid can you be to repeat something that historically proves our undoing regarding progression on the pitch? Definition of madness anyone? Me neither
