For god sake we resorted to our oldstyle of football in that game. Back to longball and crosses. The players said they wanted to go back to winning ugly. They got half way there. Now they are losing ugly.
Can't blame Gareth for this I'm afraid.
thery resorted to some long ball direct stuff sure, but that was only after they were three nl down after trying to play a passing, posession game. I'm not placing the blame solely on Gareth I'm just asking if he had defence in his total football game plan.
These guys are professional footballers, you can't use the excuse that they have been asked to pass the ball around for the drop in form. It's a fundamental part of the game for goodness sake, if they can't do it then they may as well retire.
