Our attacking intent

[AusinIsOurHero]

Saw Galbraith in a BBC article say something along the lines of "we're better than our results & league position suggest" and "we just need to be more clinical in finishing off teams".

Thought to myself that creating chances in the first place would be an idea.

I think 'more clinical' was the wrong way to put it, but if he's pointing out that we go 1-0 up a lot and fail to get a second goal while on top, he's spot on.

My fault for not actually reading the entire article too, to understand the context.
But the same point applies that going 1-0 up doesn't always win you games.
Against Norwich we had to reply on two Vipi rockets from nothing to win us the game. Outside of that we created f'all.

100% agree. Chance creation is the biggest area we have to improve for me.

Attacking is the hardest thing to get right. We have several new players up front and on the wing, and the existing players we already had we know can be very hit and miss. We probably need to persevere with some, but ship some of them on. And that's going to take time. I'm more than willing to give Sheehan until at least January to get that side of things right, maybe even the season.

Because at the other end, he has at least stopped us being the laughing stock we were under previous managers. I had started to become embarrassed about what we were under Williams and Martin. I'm not embarrassed anymore. And for me that's a start.

Yes - exactly this.. We are searching for a tactical approach that suits the personnel, and to date have failed.
However, we have talent - and this needs to be harnessed correctly.
Just for the record - in my opinion - this means playing with a genuine #10 that helps prevent our striker getting isolated (I have seen enough to give Widell a run in this position) two wingers who will take defenders on (Innoussa, Eom - and Ronald with a rocket up him) Actually all of them with a rocket!
The final piece is varying the attack to play through central areas - see Idah's goal at Chalton. Getting the ball in to the striker and #10 early to feet is a great option to keep the opposition guessing.
I think we are far better than we have shown - and I remain optimistic.

We are starting to feel personally targeted by this accounts tweets now. Surely he can find one of these tables where we are a positive.

Ah, but this only pertains to open play, so maybe we're making up for that a bit with set-pieces...

*checks notes*

Oh.

At least if we aren't creating in open play - we have our mastery of set pieces to fall back on

I wonder if Coventry are jealous as they only manage about 40 passes before a shot

Bored to death, but at least I've got some drying paint to examine at half time.
