I would of thought away from home you'd use a deep sitting fast counter attacking tactic especially as we do have fast front players but what do I know.

This is exactly what we do use, we have the deepest average position for our defense in the league, with MGW and Brennan kept high to counter. [b]Surely you arent thinking we're trying to play possession football having watched us play away from home.

The issue is no one in our defense wants to bring the ball out and our midfield plays it too safe by basically playing as a second set of CB's, so theyre not there to progress the ball either. Last year we had Garner moving the ball quickly or Spence bringing it out, but theres no one who can do either this season.

I mean just look at how deep our team was vs Leeds, Freuler and Mangala both about 2m infront of the CB's!

Good god no way. The great Cloughie must be turning in his grave watching our pathetic effort of trying to pass to our own players lately well to be honest in all our defending and attacking play.
