"No one on here is saying that they expect Arsenal or Barcelona to turn up next season, but just keep the ball, at least against the non-top teams, and give ourselves a better chance. I think the main cause of most goals we let in is simply the amount of time we hand the ball back to the other team by hitting it forward. We have decent defenders, but you can't ask them to do 60 minutes of solid defending every week and not expect the odd mistake or the odd piece of genius from the other teams. The problem is that we are in the premier league and even the sides at the very bottom are too good to do that to."
The above is taken from the Rovers messageboard today - seems we are not alone!
