The deeper you sit the more likely an individual error will be punished.
It's not 'his' tactic though, it's every single managers tactic. See Evans tenure, Murray's tenure etc.
Imagine if we were attacking while 1-0 up and ended up conceding.Stagsnet would be full of 'why were we attacking when we should've been defending our lead'
Jeeeezus flipping Christ. Defending a lead is great when you have the players to do it. We don't. How is that so bloody hard to grasp?
Imagine if we had continued to keep Col U, Port Vale et al, penned in their own defensive third and got the killer second goal?
Those teams when they tried to push up leaving gaps at the back to be exploited. Good teams that see games out are also very adept at lightning quick counter attacks. We get way too deep for that.
How do you know we don't have the players to do it? We had four new players on the pitch compared to last season. We also would've done if Conrad had caught a simple throw.
Yes he should have caught it and yes it was a bad mistake but it was far from easy.
