In my opinion we have two major problems; firstly, our inability to find the back of the net and secondly, our pedestrian way of playing. Compared to most sides, our energy levels are very low and this slow and methodical way of playing out from the back is far too easy for the opposition to nullify. This appears to be especially apparent when playing at the Hawthorns. Add to this, the fact that we don’t start playing until the second half is a real concern.
Why we can’t reciprocate the way that we played at Preston, I just don’t know. If you look at the dire performance v. Sheffield We’d. in the following game, it defies logic. I accept our injury problems but playing with some energy and enthusiasm would be a start.
