yes,tht's pretty much how stan collymore described stoke yesterday,no cutting edge in the

final third.The build up seems at slow and pronounced at times and not sure we quite know how to exploit Kamaras pace just yet,as Dubs has said a couple of times tbf.But i think we've all noticed how deep lying our 2 holding nidfielders are, and our back 4,i know we are'nt blessed with great pace pace at the back so that might persuade Hoots' and the coaches to not play with too high a line,but you'd think sooner or later he'd let the shackles off and take a risk or 2,we seem to start ok then run out of ideas after 30 mins when we haven't scored,surely Holty and the other strikers are starting to lose confidence and self belief?

- A lot of our midfielders chipped in with goals last season (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 13:58:45
  - Yep,i'm afraid Hoots' main concern is is our shape,nothing else seems to matter. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 31, 14:14:26
    - It just doesn't make sense to me because playing like that should lead to counters (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:16:28

        I think most of the attacking players have lacked confidence (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:31:43
        
        I can't argue with that tbf. (n/m) (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 31, 14:38:11
  - Good spot that... But do u think its because he doesnt think we have the quality? (n/m) (NCFC) - Taxi 4 Johnson, Mar 31, 14:00:55
    - Of course he doesn't, he's been dismissive of our good group of players ever since Fulham (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:08:15
      - I think you probably have a point, but many of those players who have been over looked (NCFC) - Taxi 4 Johnson, Mar 31, 14:14:42
        
        it`s a vicious circle (NCFC) - emmaroyds, Mar 31, 14:21:37
        
        Exactly. How are players going to look good when they only play once every month (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:23:05

        I look at players like Fox, Surman, Tierney and E.Bennett when thinking like that. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:19:48
        
        And when they are eventually given a chance and don't perform for one game they're dropped (NCFC) - protheroe fitzgibbon, Mar 31, 14:31:17
        
        Spot on. (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:39:29
