We have tightened up defence, but not well enough & completely at the expense of attack. Currently we're playing a poor version of Dougie Freedman football, with a better squad of players, but a worse set of results.
We need to recenter & rebalance.
Absolutely spot on mate.
Thing is, it doesn't need a massive change, just a few basics sorting out & for me another forward.
We could still actually go up this year if the right moves are made.
Apart from 2 games against teams who were open and assumed would play us off the park* I've seen no evidence that we're any better equipped to finish higher than mid table. The top 2 clubs are away, the shaggers will soon be joining them.
We're playing for 6th and unless something clicks, we're no way going to get that.
* West Brom and Newcastle. Both came here with an arrogant approach and with no regard to how we might perform and suffered. We did well because we were allowed to. Teams with a game plan are generally being successful against us.
