⚽ Match Thread vs. Swindon Town [EFL L2] 29.03.24

I think the goals we conceded have to go down to our tactics rather than individuals. It took me a while to get on board with the passing around our own box thing, but eventually I did because I saw it was effective. We made the occasional howler, but the goals we scored more than made up for the errors. They don't any more, although I only saw the highlights against Swindon it seems they created very little. They took the points because our tactics created their goals for them. Whether this obsession with possession comes from the owners or the manager, it needs a big rethink in the short term at least. It's currently creating more chances for the opposition than it creates for us.

I agree with this I’m a fan of the style as I believe it does work.

The issue is knowing when to go long I’m sure the coach doesn’t ever say you must keep doing it if in trouble you see it with Stones or Van Djik they pass the ball but at times they just know when to go long and that is two of the very best in England.
