yeah, getting a balance is tough

problem is that our attacking players just aren't that good for this league. Unless you set the whole team up to attack (which we've seen doesn't work), then I think we'll be restricted to creating a few half chances and maybe one or two good chances each game.

With the full back sat back more now and two holding midfielders, it's just much easier for the opposition to close down our attacking players. It's still possible to create though, and when we are on top form we'll still be pretty potent I think, just that we'll also be grinding out results a lot of the time.
