I agree 100% about the goals, Matt, and wouldn`t argue for a second about going to kill the game off when we`re ahead rather than sitting back and surrendering midfield. That`s definitely cost us in some games. I don`t agree with pulling everybody back for corners, either; if we leave 1 or 2 up, they have to leave 2 or 3 back to cover them so there`s less chance of conceding in an almighty scramble like we did at Harrogate. We came close a couple of times on Tuesday as well, as I recall. That`s just my opinion.
A few weeks ago, I would have agreed as well about our style of play, but I honestly think it is starting to evolve. I didn`t see or listen to yesterday`s game so can`t comment, but in the recent games I have I can`t remember any where we were outplayed; in most of them we deserved to win (against some of the best teams in the division on some cases) and have played some decent football. It`s more the tactics I would like to see changed, rather than the style of play AND get that final third sorted out.
I`m still reasonably confident it`ll come together soon, but I admit it`s a bit alarming to see us in the relegation zone.
