It would mean the wingers have to hold the ball up too long, before they could knock it back to the full back to cross.
Ah so it's not kick it up to 4 players up front bypassing the midfield

Do you just think our wide players are going to transport from one end of the pitch whilst defending to attack at the other end bypassing midfield?

Or are you expecting us to defend with 6 players and keep 4 players on the half way line?

If that wins a couple of matches before we are sussed yes.
I asked the question because the general opinion is tat our midfield are not performing I was exploring if there was a way to play long ball football effectively with our squad.
But some posters can't resist snark.

Oh bloody el. That’s now Pieters, Collins AND Tarks I’ve seen in midfield in the past week. And Westwood in the 10 to boot.

In the past weeks have you noticed the yawning great gap in front of our defence/ behind our midfield

Have you noticed that Tarks is trying to play football but as last man he gets in trouble

Have you noticed that he can actually play and could bridge this gap and create too

Have you noticed that Collins is fast and strong and can fill the Right centre half role

Have you noticed that this is the thread for our last game that was postponed?
