From yesterday it is clear that ANG has to play, he has made a constant difference in the last few weeks, at this level no one will be comfy with someone constantly running at them with the ball. Our biggest problem is the full backs, Doherty doesn't offer anything and is a complete liability, we looked much more fluid when Sesay came on at left back. We do miss Palmer and never adjust our style of play when he isn't in the team. It's just very frustrating that we only start playing when we are 1 or 2 down.
Just a note on James Vaughan yesterday... I can't write on here what I actually feel about him but the way he dived around yesterday was embarrassing.
I completely agree our style of play is not adjusted when Palmer isnt on the pitch. Its been like that for far too long and needs addressing and I cant understand why this hasnt been done to date.
The modern game as it is now is not about four defenders its about the whole team thinking defensively when the opposition has the ball and the defence providing good ball and support when we have the ball, our current setup with the emphasis on attack means for me that we do not adjust from attack to defence quick enough.
