We quite simply need to go back to BASICS. 4-4-2- Mike Basset style
Too many times were making defensive errors from set pieces, last nights third goal conceded was poor. Can we not stick with runners? win headers? at least challenge for the ball? school boy defending.
Our set pieces float into the box with no real venom. Each corner we have or free kick that goes into the box, no one hassles the opposition keeper or runs across the keeper or let alone makes the keeper work? so many keepers we play against have the easiest pay day of there footballing career against us at the moment.
The team need to move up and across the pitch as a unit when closing down the ball or trying to get back possession. Too many times last night we were caught ball watching but then other times there was encouragement from coxy to box in there team in there own half? this should happen the whole game! IF WE HAVENT GOT THE BALL WE NEED TO GET IT BACK!
we need to play with a striker up top with Cox, Michael is perfect for this. He has the pace and movement which cox doesn't have to get beyond defenders and cause them trouble.
I agree with Andrew that Abs played well when he came on. The problem I see with Abs is that he can pass a ball sideways and backwards but that final ball to make an attack or chance doesn't seem to be there. Take a chance, someone just take a chance and try to make forward pass to get beyond the opposition defence.
Lastly from last nights game, so many times we had the ball down the flank and so many times we could have crossed the ball into the box but we failed to deliver. If we can get a cross in, just put it in the MIXER! (we obviously need players busting a gut to get in that box)
We need 3 points Saturday, all or nothing.
