Playing from the back is fine when you have the space and the time to do it...too many times we play it around whilst being pressed by the opposition and end up trying to move it too quickly causing mistakes.
Often the gap between the defence and midfield is congested and again we get closed down and lose the ball.
It is a question of ability and technique and sorry to say we don't have the ball players to make it work consistently, over the years we have seen Travers,Begovic, Franno,Steve Cook, Jack Simpson, Rico and now Mepham losing the ball or giving it away in dangerous areas. We had one guy who could do it comfortably and he is now at Man City! (not by accident either)
