I sort of side with Tidy to some extent - I too don't think we are "too far off" being okay.
If were not too far off "okay" then it means were poor - which is true. I also think that AI needs to play one or 2 different personell, and just get people to move and pass forward, and get up in support. I don't think that is yoo much to ask, and I think then, that would make us "Okay".
The problem lies when it's been apparent for weeks and weeks that the same issues are happening - we have no creativity, there is no-one playing through balls or incisive passing in a forward motion and/or people getting forward - which in turn means whoever is up top is starved of service until the last 5 minutes of the game.
By this time we usually have 3 or 4 strikers on the pitch..... I can't see how the players can (or that can) work. He openly admits to having a game plan - and he sets us up with 1 striker on the pitch 9 times out of 10. He OBVIOUSLY thinks this is best formation (which is fine) - and he starts with it all the time. How on earth we finish the game in whatever formation we end up is a little embarassing and desperate..
