It wasnt a coincidence that when the keeper was told to ignore the fullbacks and punt the ball down field that the game changed.
I presume, because of the good start we got,the gaffer thought we would get a bit of joy picking up the second balls,but they didnt.
I think we had more joy down the channels and the fullbacks joining in getting crosses in,and picking up the second balls from there clearences.
When your struggling to get your second wind,you start to play within yourself,and a few on the night stopped tracking or making runs.
If you play from the back,the opposion have to press you,giving you the opportunity to shape the balls down the channels or clip it into the forwards feet,or get joycy on the ball.
When you go long via the keeper its really a game of luck,and playing one up front doesnt help the cause.
