Honestly it's games like this that really get me wondering what the problem is at the club. It has to be something deep set into the club itself that makes everyone we sign eventually arrive at a state of being virtually unable to show any urgency, compare, aggression or creativity at all. That unknown quantity that makes our central players receive a ball, stand completely still, look around and then decide to amble aimlessly forwards until they come up against opposition players, panic and either jog directly into them, turn and pass backwards or randomly pass to a space where it reaches an opposition player as often as their own.
It very much feels like there's got to be a reason this happens. Feels like it we had any other group of players the new manager would have begun stamping his philosophy onto them and we would at least be showing signs but with the lackadaisical style of our players it doesn't seem possible. I fully expect that whoever comes in as full time manager things won't change and whoever we sign will just join the hive mind and slowly become like the others. What is the answer?
