Agreed. I’m glad that we’ve got some togetherness and fighting spirit back, but it just looks like we’re gonna get beaten convincingly and maybe lose a couple in a row pretty much every game we play at the minute.I'm sill unconvinced.
All I am seeing at the moment is a team bereft of particular ideas. A structure that gives up possession, but not in a solid manner - we are giving up a lot of opportunities and the last two games for instance certainly makes me feel our defensive displays have been luck rather than judgement. As it has simply been down to poor finishing that we have still be in the game.
Attacking wise it seems that there is no particular style of play, other than getting the ball up the pitch quickly - made painful to watch by not having a focal point to bring others in to play. We haven't been creating lots of chances and haven't particularly had consistent pressure in the oppos half. It seems we are reliant on moments of inspiration from individuals rather than putting in better performances.
I am glad there has been an upturn in results, but I am not convinced currently that we have a sustainable identity or plan (like Poch did - certainly for 3 years). But we do have better individuals that many teams in the league - so even though we aren't playing well, someone is dragging us through.
