EFL Highlights
Again some cracking goals scored in many matches from players having a pop from distance , how I wish we would do this , I think we're trying to walk the ball in sometimes

Re: EFL Highlights
And starting in our penalty box.
I’m not a ‘hoof it up the park’ advocate but our style allows the opposition to press. We ain’t no European Champions team, so we need to mix our tactics so that we the opposition have to plan for the occasional long hall.
At one home Cup game against West Ham many years back we had a weak left back. What happened? A simply planned long kick from the keeper to a moving winger, round our man, into the box, goal. About five plays and we were losing … soooo obvious.
No, I know we’ve achieved great things under RW but we have no Plan B. It was the same with Slade … too afraid to mix it up .. and that cost us a LOT back in 13/14.

Re: EFL Highlights
I thought that we had far more crosses into the box yesterday, especially in the first half and looked to shoot more than we have done in recent games. I agree though that we don’t shoot often enough when given the chance.
