Didn't we have this issue at the start of last season? Not know what our best formation is? Once we worked it out, we went on a really good run before injuries destroyed us.
That's my worries really, all looks a bit too much like last season with a few improvements in personnel. Not a really developed playing style, and still the same strenghts and weaknesses. Hoping there's more to come, not in full panic mode, its just that if you have less to spend on wages you need clever recruitment or great coaching to make up the gap and haven't been blown away by either
thought we agreed that last years playing style (esp the 10 game streak) was hot diggity and joggo bonito and all that?
Actually, that's my biggest problem. Never really seen a proper balance between attack and other than in 5 or 6 isolated games. We started last year trying to retain possession and press high. But that ended and actually we had less possession in most of our matches. This year we're defending deeper and also trying to, well I'm not actually sure. Some games we seem to try and build up but our midfield isn't that creative so we look a bit toothless. Or we've sat deep and tried to defend and counter attack. Looks ok-ish...
So going back to my original point, I'm not panicking - just a bit worried about the direction of travel. I haven't seen anything which suggests we can kick on to the next level, but anyway, interesting to hear others views
