Most of those mitigations applied to all/most teams, ok the EFL one was unique - my issues are around apparent lack of fitness, a style of play that even ignoring the fact it’s boring is beyond our players to achieve (Joe public twigged that 12 months ago) and lack of consistency in team selection. One positive is that the two new boys looked a step forward. I actually wouldn’t pay to see my team winning with that style of play at the moment...
