Forget talk of having a hangover from the play-offs. To my mind, we've been sussed out. Serving up the same old, same old formation wise makes it easier for the opposition to formulate a gameplan to negate the tactic. Plus I don't think we've got the players on board at the moment to make that tactic work !!!
To me, it was strickingly obvious ......we lacked pace, width and more so penetration. We spent the majority of the game trying to build slowly from the back (unsuccesfully), attempting to play the ball around in midfield and playing the ball around in front of a well organised defence. All well and good if you have the quality of player that can make that killer pass that unlocks defences...
Whilst I'd agree that some of the new lads needed time to settle in / gel, I think that we're way, way too predictable.
One up top, for me at least, isn't working. We're not giving the opposition enough to worry about !!!!
There, to me, lies the reason for the lack of goals scored.

Good post carpon, meself i reckon though many may disagree, we should start wi Craney, reason being hes the only one capable of creating, too often this season in second half we are chasing a deficit, would have more chance if the opposition had to do that! ok substitute him if he tires but at least more chance of having a lead,also think revert to 4-4-2,
