It does seem a bit pointless to be playing this style with

Gunn/Krul, Hanley and Mclean as the key components of playing out from the back.

They clearly aren't good enough to do it, and so will either be replaced in the summer, or we'll have to adopt a different style.

We're gifting so many chances from asking them to do something that they are simply not skillful enough to do consistently. Might be worth being a bit more pragamtic, at least until we are out of play-off contention. Then really start drilling the style with new players next season.
