We all know Coley likes his team to play a certain way - last season it won us the league.
So where is it going wrong? The stats from last nights game sum up the problem.
60% possession with 15 goal attempts. Final product - 1 goal.
Analyse the stats & the games against Rochdale & Wycombe are ones we should have won with ease.
We're still creating chances but failing to convert enough of them.
For me, our success last season was due largely to the partnership of Kayden Jackson & Billy Kee.
Jackson was lethal at turning any opportunity into a goal, or lay it on a plate for Billy Kee.
This season, we seem to operate with either Kee or Zanzala as lone strikers, against better defences.
Kee's an expert poacher without being creative. Zanzala tries his best but is no Kayden Jackson.
Opponents spend hours analysing ways to prevent us from playing our game.
They know; (a) how we play & (b) which players they'll be up against.
We make it easy for them because for Stanley a+b never changes!
Playing a certain way is fine when your winning, but if it fails you need a Plan B.
Failure isn't fatal, but failure to change might be.
