Have to trust you re the sums but the squad of players I’m watching most weeks don’t look close to that. Be nice if we had more than one player capable of dropping his shoulder and beating a player and shooting.

It is a regimented style of play.
A certain place for a certain player.
It might work on a training pitch and look great but in reality against a team wanting to beat you all ways obviously it doesnt.

Listen to former players: Bullard, Murphy etc. They say he's a good enough coach)manager but training is f***ing boring. Lewington has near enough said this is what they do: repeat, repeat, repeat and that players who can be obedient get picked, simple as that.

It looks to me like even his most obedient 11 are bored as f*** and are playing under a cloud. His time has run its course.

Some of the players we have and have had this season haven't been quite up to it whether it's confidence or injury we've had too many along the season ..almost every game (especially at home) we are making daft individual mistakes at both ends, yesterday Watford made one notable mistake in a silly area and we took the opportunity very well with our loaned striker ..all our own strikers would have struggled massively with that chance apart from maybe Wickham, Watford tend to not miss opportunities, look where they are in the league.

My understanding is that there are constant drills to increase awareness of responsibility in terms of defensive organisation and discipline.All about shape, positioning of players in relation to their team-mates and distances etc etc.Organisation,organisation,organisation !

It's a pity therefore that despite repeating various defensive exercise routines to the extent that they should be second nature by now, the players still have no idea how to defend a corner or set piece.
