I think some of the poor goals we conceded came from the fact we lacked pace and ball retention in midfield.
The midfield just couldn't get back when hit on the break, gave too many balls away and ran out of ideas very quickly.
To me a midfield a combination with any trio of Pack, Vaulks, Ralls and Bacuna is just slow and static and leads to problems all over the place
Someone in midfield to keep the ball is a MUST.
Extra pace and flair in midfield / attacking areas is a MUST.
I am getting a little concerned that Mick perhaps doesn't see the same problems that we have all been banging on about since Warnock decided to strip an already slow & low possession team of any remnants of flair and pace.
