It is becoming increasingly clear to all (particularly the opposition) how we are set up to play.
Always with a back three, always with (inverted) wingbacks.
This alone puts us at a disadvantage as the formation is predictable and the opposition have all week to work out a game plan.
Then we pass the ball so slowly and predictably in possession the opposing team have all day to get back in position when we have the ball.
If we try and play it through the midfield we can’t because the build up is so slow that the opposition are in position and they are happy for us to play sideways passes until it all breaks down and they hit us on the counter.
It’s all so slow, laboured and predictable.
The players are very clearly being told to play this way so for me it is on the manager.
We were failing the first time Critchley came in until we got Calderwood. It’s either time for another no2 or time to consider Critchley’s future.
