I think most of the attacking players have lacked confidence

It must be hard knowing that you have to take every chance that comes because we don't create many.

We had a slow back line last season but that didn't stop as pressing up the pitch. Yeah, we kept less clean sheets (although we didn't conceded many more goal overall at this stage) but we achieved better results while playing better football with what was apparently a worse squad of players.

We have the players capable of attacking and beating the bottom half teams, why we're are so timid in these games I'll never know.

Actually I do know...it's the tactics.

        Exactly. How are players going to look good when they only play once every month (NCFC) - Common Sense Police, Mar 31, 14:23:05
