I've been saying this for months, we just don't get forward quick enough.

Whether it's Redderz trying to cut inside and slowing the move down or its Wessi doing his little spinning around in a circle and turning. We need to get forward with speed and purpose and we just don't do that. Especially when we're trying to hit teams on the counter attack.

Look how Leicester do it. They are charging hell for leather at goal, very Pacey, very direct. Now we don't have their kind of pace but we need to be more direct. A lot of these little tricks and flicks tend to slow our attack too much.

I'm not saying we lump the ball forward, but use our wide players to really hit the wings and get that ball in first time. We've got players who can frighten the opposition but we don't really play that way.
