Hound Oh no, we were horrible that night
I think the midfield boys genuinely pushed forward in that last 25 - but a combination of blunt attack and good defence kept us causing a lot of problems
Our best spell of the match positionally was probably that last 20
It’s why I’m not too much of a fan of 5 at the back in general though, I really think it stifles creativity against any good team and on occasions like today, although the attack was blunt, they’re hardly blessed with options on the ball. Supporting this point:
Preston - we created nothing really
Leeds - only from set pieces
Brentford - little created
So, yeah, it might work against your teams like Millwall and Luton because your wingbacks and midfield can play higher up but against teams in higher positions, there’s a real lack of attacking play. IMO
I really don’t want another “no plan B” syndrome manager though. Throw Morrison, Miazga up top, lump it to them. What were we doing? Lumping it to Loader who’s quite frankly terrible
