While I was disappointed at the result and how cautious we were, I think JS took a pragmatic approach.
When your new striker, your best striker and your main playmaker are all out, plus none of your fit attacking players are in great form, going gung-ho early on and shipping two or three goals is not the best idea.
The players at our disposal yesterday were unlikely to be able to turn around a two or three goal deficit. Wishing or saying that the available players should be more creative won't magically make them so, although I hope our coaches can improve players, even the mediocre ones, over time.
I think trying to stay in the game then going for it late on made sense, even if, frankly, it does seem a bit dull and passive. Being able to keep a clean sheet when the team is pretty toothless is a real positive. Last night's game was the sort of fixture we usually lose. |
