The most frustrating thing about being sat in a sparse crowd & watching a 4-2-2-2 system that you know doesn't work, is that you can do nothing about it! Our approach play was more like a waltz than a football match, slow, slow quick, quick slow. We either went forward really slowly and then, getting to the edge of the box, went backwards again or just thumped the ball forward to two under six foot strikers?
We play so slowly that when we get to the other end there is absolutely nowhere for the forwards to run except offside, two examples of that tonight/last night.
I have an outrageous idea, maybe we could play with a back four that is a back four and maybe, just maybe use two of the thirty six wingers we have as wingers? Move the ball faster using the triangle pass and move system that is practiced in training and plonk the ball into the box for our strikers to have a go at?
Radical I know but maybe worth a try!

Maybe Mastermind 111 should have chucked the Kraut's 'How To Lose Every Match For Ever' manual.
