Saw this on sky this morning as a classic EFL game, only the highlights from the 1-2 home loss against Bristol City in 2017 (December I believe).
That game we absolutely dominated, hit the post / bar four times, and some great keeping from them left me wondering how on earth we lost. Fair play, we lost and moved on, but looking at the lineup there’s a significant element still in and around the starting eleven.
Fleck, Bash, Sharp, Stevens, Baldock all featured, probably more but my memory fails me. The fight we had, the pressure we created, the chances we had…where’s it all gone?
It’s like a completely different team now, no fight, no drive, tippy tappy back three football, and to a man looking terrified to attack.
I guess I’m ranting, but depressed at how far we’ve come from that aggressive Wilder style and the resignation of the players last season.
Personally I think we need to clear out a few out, hopefully SJ can get us our fight back.
The point is, like the Bristol game referenced, I don’t mind losing games, but having no fight isn’t acceptable.
