[Albion] Pace

I genuinely think we lost 5-10 points last year purely because we lacked pace both at fullback and in the middle.
I mean, not that it's unrelated to pace, but it doesn't help that we refused to go on the break! We scored one goal on the counter all season in the league.

Still believe we could do with more pace at the back.

Veltman, Dunk. Van Hecke, Webster and Igor are decent but not rapid.

If however we win the ball back high up the pitch not a problem, but when exposed we are more often than not relying on a foul to stop the break

I think we’re going to be speedy this year. Makes a change!

That’s my tactical insight, thank you for coming.
Makes sense that Gilmour is on his way then.

I remember seeing St. Pauli, and thinking they were a team of natural athletes - box to box types.
