I totally agree.

I get the feeling the mentality has gone from hard working, bunker mentality, world against us, under dog attitude to Nouveau riche. The feeling that we're uncomfortable in our progression to being a dominant club. There is a lack of identity as the team are playing a style they are unfamiliar with.

We were a hit a run team, physical and aggressive. The current version is trying to be clever and look for openings.

Sadly in the Prem there are no openings, even against the weaker teams. You have to fight, and force openings.

The team is not skillful enough or creative enough to open teams us. The lads have stepped off the Physical gas which was how the team break down teams and force mistakes.

Is it a transition? Or is the plan to play both styles depending on the opponent? The 2nd would be optimal, sadly, at present, they team are stuck between the two and playing the worst of both systems.

It's not pretty to watch, certainly, away from home, it's not yielding points and wins.
