Agree with this completely. All three central midfielders in the 1st half played with their backs to goal simply receiving passes and offloading them sideways or back for large periods of the half. I couldn’t help but feel they needed to try and run in behind and move their 5 man defence around, if anything to free up some space for Bobby. This improved in the second. If we are going to play like this we have to move the ball quicker and run into/create space, If we do neither we will play like that (1st half). We looked at our most dangerous for 10 mins when Flint played up front, maybe we needed to scrap the total football and play in a different manner. The way we play must take it out of the players physically, today could have been a win ugly kind of day if we’d have gone abit more route one earlier on.
