The biggest problem and always has been is RLs insistence to stick with his wing back formation even though we still do not have either a left or right wingback on our books.
I'm discounting the Liverpool guy, because not sure when he might ever be fit enough to be selected in the first team squad.
We now have some talented and skillful attacking players and in Millars case with some decent pace, we also have a young and hungry international centre forward,who we have paid our record transfer fee.
Unfortunately because we rigidly stick to this wingback formation,with two defensive midfielders ,one of which plays about a yard Infront of our central defenders.
We therefore shoe horn these players into the team and fail to get the best out of their abilities or utilise their attacking skills to our benefit.
We play in a slow predictable way, conceding space, possession and territorial advantage to the opposition,the better teams as we have found out simply bide their time and dismantle our system.
The teams like Millwall realise that we cause very little threat to them, stick and play to their game plan,realise we defend far too deep and that they will ultimately have chances to get back in the game.
Unless RL works out a formation , tactics and game plan that can utilise the players he has signed to our benefit.Playing at a far quicker tempo, moving the ball quicker, closing the opposition down ,putting them on the back foot and utilise the pace and skill we now have to get round the back of teams and create chances for the numerous forwards we have at our disposal.
Otherwise we will be in for more boring and dour performances ,with results that will reflect this.🤔
