NSC's Most Stalked
It seems that some of the football we are playing is unbelievably long ball and direct, and I honestly elieve we have the players in our squad to pass the ball, keep pocession and look like a quality outfit.
However, WHY or why do we have to play the needless 60 yards high balls out of defence. I didnt go against Bristol Rovers, but I was tod and have read numerous posts on here saying we keep humping it forward.
Even when they were down to 10 men we kept doing it, but when it finally clicked, we played keep ball and scored a second goal, and we looked good, and Virgo looked like a central midfielder. Surely just because McLeod isnt in the team we dont have to keep trying these hopeful long ranger balls. It very rarely works and it takes out the best attacking attributes of Forster and Murray.
From the Crewe game Elphick was the worst culprit and yesterday Richards was doing it. It winds me up because these players are better than that.
BUT all the time we are doing this, we do look solid at the back and have gone 3 games unbeaten and getting results. Which I think is what the number one priority is.
I think people are starting to recognise we are not going to be champagne footballists under Adams, which everyone thought we would be, but we are playing a game which means we are not loosing.
Are people prepared to sacrifice the entertaining football in place of winning games?
