Disappointing. Positives were Brooks and Danjuma who both brought a lot and played with a real hunger. Everybody else...meh.
Can’t help feeling that Eddie needs to up his tactical game. It’s all very well having a game plan in training but when the game calls for something else you need to be able to switch things around. We really have become too easy to play against. Teams realise that we lack the movement once our attacking play hits a packed defence. We exacerbate this by often inexplicably slowing down any breaks we make with unnecessary sideways or backwards passes. When we break we need to be quicker and braver. When that doesn’t work we need to find a way to create goals when the opposition is sitting back. I would suggest a few potshots from range, hoping for a deflection or the chance that the ball falls to someone for a tap in.
Woukd still prefer us to be quicker and braver in attack though. Anyone who passes sideways or backwards during a promising break should get his wages docked
Eddie needs to sort this out and maybe add a few different ways of playing to our repertoire to make us more difficult to neutralise.
He gets paid enough, now he needs to get it sorted.
Come on Eddie, time to get creative !
