I’ve found myself trying to work out how we can completely outplay Watford, Brentford and others but lose and draw games we should be way out of sight. Tonight we played the best I’ve seen first half in years, yes Bristol City played badly as well but we were superb. We create several decent chances but only score one. Our opponents can 1 or 2 chances and will always score 1 of them.
So how do we address this? This is what I’ve been trying to get my ahead around. My thoughts:
1) should have signed Wells at all costs as his pace and prowess would have put away several chances others miss. If not Wells is Kelman the answer? If not we need a striker of Wells ilk
2) the manager and coaches are coaching average championship players well. We are outplaying better sides. They’re better because they’re near the top despite getting lucky point or 3 against us. So, do we need to change the manager or style of play to get better results from our average bunch? Are Warburton’s tactics and style of play suited to the likes of Rob Dickie (that pass was shocking today - under NO pressure).
3) will we simply just get by and stay up as we are? Is that acceptable as a fan? Are you happy outplaying supposed better sides and having our better players taken off us every season? Rinse and repeat?
