Keates has set up his team to play like this but it shows today that it can be undone by the better sides.

That's an interesting point. Our defensive formation could secure us a play off place, as to get there we would obviously play both the poorer and good attacking sides. However once a play off play is secured, would we then risk changing our style to a more offensive and attacking one in order to beat the better play off sides and gain promotion.
