We took particular notice of the options the player with the ball had at last week's game. More often that not the answer was zero...nothing. No movement up the ground, nobody leading, standing targets etc, no 100 metre sprints in desperation to get the ball. Players are knocked for their clangers and backwards play but really there is nothing offering for them a lot of the time so they don't always have a lot of choice. We just don't seem to have a simple, sustainable, achievable game plan drilled into the team. I can't help wonder how it would be if the players knew their roles and had the confidence in themselves, and their teammates to be able to carry it off.
People often speak of Terry's game plan on here but I don't know what they mean. Terry himself describes a run and carry style of play but I don't think it works for us when the player with the ball has little to no support. That doesn't necessarily show on telly but I think it's a big problem imo.
I don't believe our players are as unskilled as they sometimes appear. I don't think they're dumb footballers either. There's no doubt they're lacking in confidence and self belief. They just really don't seem to be thinking too well or playing for each other and that's been a problem we haven't been able to solve for years. I hope we find an answer soon.
