I’ve gone to a few pre season games and I still can’t understand the decision to play the ball out from the back. The quality within our defence isn’t there and this just puts us under pressure. Number 6 in defence always plays the ball back and struggles to pass the ball forward. He’s great at reading the ball in the air and winning a header but needs to work on passing forward. The most creative player we seem to have is the number 4 in midfield. He has great ability at finding a forward pass and releasing guys on the wing. Number 7 upfront adds no attacking presence at all. He plays far too wide and doesn’t challenge for any balls nor does he track back to support the press. He needs to play off the shoulder of the last defender and work on cutting inside. Number 17 for Maidstone yesterday looked a good player with some serious pace! Keep the faith. It's early days with an entirely new defence. No doubt still getting used to the system and playing style. The manager's philosophy is possession based football so doubt he's going to start lumping the ball from the back. Remember, it took a while for the team to gel last season. Bound to be a few hairy moments but I know which style of football I'd rather watch. All I'd say is that the ball has to be moved quickly when you are in possession.
