For example, we just had the ball at the edge of the area, played it back to the CB (which is fine there were a lot of defenders back) and he lumps it out for a goal kick
Sam Smith denied from a tight angle by Isted. Didn't see how the chance came as I looked down with us seemingly in a comfortable position on the ball. I've missed a lot of goals we've conceded for that reason this season.
After a pretty bright start we have regressed to a team that is shaky defensively and not clear what we're supposed to be doing in possession.
I don't think the board realized the risk in making so many changes in January. This is a starting XI that has never started together and I don't think has played together. And it shows. There's not a great understanding of what to do in possession or defensively.
We have to start playing through Coventry and Watson. This is a team that when it had midfield of Dobbo, Fraser, and CC/LW was strong in possession. And keeping the ball is now a huge weak spot which makes us less likely to score goals and puts our defense under more pressure.
It’s because the board are shit and don’t have a clue.
Also this team looks SO much better pressing and defending on the front foot. Edun is really good at that part of defending, less so some of the other bits
