When Moore said after the QPR game that it wasn't him that told the side to go defensive, as some of the players more or less agreed, I was somewhat prepared to give him the benefit of the doubt, but not really convinced. That we've played defensive (and had 2 batterings) more or less ever since, though to also be fare, Leeds pretty much hit us on the break every time, it can enforce that you need to defend first and throw,"attack as the best form of defence" out of the window. in the minds of some coaches.

It was certainly Fotheringham's mentality, which is why all faith in him was lost (if there ever was any) when we didn't win any of the games he had forecast we would.

It didn't help Wagbo either when Spurs picked our "gegenpressing" style to pieces. He completely changed the way he had us playing after that game at ours.

Inviting a team onto you for 80+ minutes of a match is never going to win (or draw many) games if you don't have a way of quickly turning that defence into attack and playing balls to your team mates. At the moment, we don't appear to have that way of getting out of our 3rd. Rudoni can't come back from injury fast enough for me as Wiles is too anonymous with Rudoni present, let alone when he isn't.
