There's a fundamental flaw in our midfield, regardless of team selection, formation, opposition. When we lose the ball teams are on our back four almost unopposed within 2 or 3 touches. We have a really soft underbelly at the moment.
Overall, that was better though admittedly from a very low baseline.
A. We nearly closed down couple months ago... B. We had to scrape a team together C. We have injury’s D. We should be grateful Bowyer hasn’t left. E. The squad didn’t have a pre season
Is there anyway, this could be automatically added whenever we let another goal in. Just to remind us why we are so fecking awful, and only aspire to have a side that can play like —MAN CITY sorry ACCRINGTON.
More likely to go 2-0 down than equalise. Pearce having a very bad game doesn't help, our midfield losing out too much on the second ball. Oshilaja is solid though.
System did not work. Back Four is too deep, midfield three played man-for-man and were pulled all over the place, leaving a big space for the opposition to play into in front of the Centre Backs. Washington was too detached from the two wingers.
The pattern of play was obviously based on getting the ball wide to Millar and Smyth, who looked lively and caused problems. But we lapsed into playing long balls up to Washington, who had no chance against three centre backs.
The midfield three were outplayed.
Need to change it to 3-5-2 and get the Back three to push up ten yards. We need two up front. Washington is a second striker operating as a lone Centre Forward. He needs to play off a partner.
Defenders playing in wrong positions - concede shite goals Defenders playing in correct positions - concede shite goals
Nothing changes ...
Maybe players out of position is a weak argument and its always been the players themselves that the focus should have been on rather than the Manager of late!!
EVERY goal we've conceded of late has been down to weak individuals making the sort of errors they shouldnt be making at this any level above U9s

it could be 3 or 4 quite easily.
So frustrating that our best attackers are sat on the bench again. We're relying on Aneke to get us back into it.
