That if you retreat into your own half as soon as opponents win back the ball, you allow them to attack in force.
That if you fail to press opponents at every opportunity, they will eventually overcome you.
That games are won & lost by what players do without the ball, as much as what they do with it.
After our recent results, perhaps it's time to get back to basics.

I know sod all about coaching but by anybodys common sense 1 up front IS NOT attacking football.also if a defender gives away a goal then how the hell is it easyier to get it back?
