It’s not a critiscism of us in particular.

I've been saying this for awhile Roly it's school boy football if we actually had someone with pace on the wing I would tell him to go onto the opposite side it would spread the opposition defence out to. I've never understood all grouping together on one side the keeper hoofing it if not out of play but to big 6ft 3 + opposition defenders because our tiny strikers ain't going to get their heads to it.
