I think what would help us a lot is if we went a goal or two up in the first 25mins or so of a game, so we could play without so much pressure on us. 


I bet no-one has thought of that before.

Paki Paki, 

Good Job!
 

Thanks man, it's always nice to get recognition.


What I was getting at was that we haven't had a game yet this year where we've been in a position to feel comfortable and that that's stopping us playing as well as we can. Our poor finishing puts pressure on the team all across the park because the defenders and midfielders know that mistakes will be even more costly because we're not putting chances in at the other end. We've never settled into a coherent rhythm as a team for more than about 10 minutes this year and I don't think we will until we manage to put away a couple of chances early. Until we do that I think we can expect more of the same defensive lapses and missed passes in the midfield. Basically saying that the problems in every area are coming about because the team as a whole is down on confidence from the poor finishing.


Should have elaborated more to avoid the sarcastic response.

Edit: I don't know why it's put this whole response in the quote box thing...
