Remember through-balls? They were good weren’t they. And wingers who pull the ball back to a latecomer in the box to rifle home? Bliss.
A team lacking self belief and seemingly scared of losing possession for showing a bit of positive creativity always pass it around the defence then back to the keeper to lump it to the opposition, and that’s what I saw on Tuesday night.
I’ve seen worse 0-0’s than the Doncaster match (not just thanks to Gillingham) and County looked full of endeavour last Saturday, so hoping the players are without inhibition in the final third as the formulaic approach clearly isn’t ripping nets.
