New tactics, please Keith 00:01 - Nov 25 with 793 viewsborntogo

The most effective 'tactic' and one that brings the biggest advantage in our division (where fitness, strength and skill levels are relatively equal) is to score the first goal in a match. THAT should be our primary aim.

Hill's priority is to try NOT to concede first, which, perversely, means we often DO (like tonight) because we are not playing offensively.

Now, I could understand his gameplan if it was working and we had the players who can defend well and others who can counter-attack with pace.

The two centre-halfs, McNulty and Lancashire, are accidents in shin pads. Kennedy is a shadow of his former self. This is not a defence that will withstand pressure and facilitate a sneaky 1-0 win.

Likewise, we don't have anyone willing to run at defences and convert perhaps our one and only chance in a game we have set out to grind out a result, as they say. Well, we do have such a player (Mendez-Laing) but Hill hardly plays him.

No big deal, yet, and no one's mentioning crises but, surely, a change of tactics is required. Play the game that suits the team, not the other way round. Go for it! No fear!
