Thought we looked decent until the goal 20:47 - Sep 30 with 270 views

But that has allowed them to go into the extreme low block out of possession, which has long been Mckenna's Kryponite, and play on the counter with us pushing men forward and leaving space. It's making it almost impossible for us to create anything and massively stifling our attacking players.

We simply cannot afford to give away soft goals and allow teams to play this way, and it feels like a recurring habit.

Covered elsewhere, but our right hand side has been really poor, and McAteer needs to offer much more than he is so far. Akpom isn't in the game at all and Azon has struggled, albeit with very little indeed to work with.

Decent in terms of possession but done absolutely nothing with it at all.

None of which should have been a surprise going into this season frankly

Are any sides particularly good at breaking down the low block, even the top sides?

Story of the season so far (away from home). A few too many weak links in the side tonight based on the first half

Teams let us have the ball knowing we struggle to penetrate. It's not really defensive excellence.

They haven't exactly parked the bus, they've just held their shape and tried to hit us on the break, and they've created more than we have as a result.

The low block is my biggest concern with McKenna. It may not be pretty for teams to play that way against us, but it's highly effective and was a problem at times back in League 1. We had the advantage in the Championship last time out that we rarely saw it used against us, but this time around it's very much the go to for a lot of teams. It's the situation where he needs to earn his pay.
