Its more keeping the ball out that is the issue. Look at Burnley on saturday

They were rubbish yet kept it at 0-0 and then scored a couple of quick goals for an undeserved and very flattering 3-0 win.

Shef U got a draw because they were in the game at Bournemouth because they can defend reasonably well (although I do think Bournemouth may struggle this season).

If we can stay in games then we will get results because our attacking quality means we are always likely to score but what we will not be able to do at this level is rely on coming back from behind all the time like we did last season or as we saw on Friday the game can be taken away from us in the first half without us actually having played badly.
