| No bothered about clean sheets 16:20 - Sep 19 with 531 views | 3_5_2 | GON has said today that he is not that worried out us keeping clean sheets Then given we concede an average of 2.6 goals a game, we need to score 3 to get a win Strange thing to say, this will be our downfall |  |

| No bothered about clean sheets on 16:26 - Sep 19 with 497 views | Nthsuffolkblue | How do you work out 2.6 ppg? In the league 10 in 4 is exactly 2.5 with matches including Man Utd and Liverpool. If you include the cups (I wouldn't) then it comes to exactly 2.5 as well. Clearly it is a very small sample size at the moment too. I would suggest that O'Neil's thinking is something along the lines of being better to go for 3 points trying to score than to try to be solid and pick up a few draws. It is a bit of a surprise that he takes this approach because I expected it to be a lot more shut up shop, low block and play on the break. |  |

He is clearly right. We will not get safety in this league by trying the be solid and hoping for a lucky set piece. We need to be able to secure three points, which means scoring goals. 3 wins and 3 losses is much better than 6 draws... |  |

I agree, we aren’t set up to sit back and grind it out like Hull. We’ll definitely beat a few, we are clearly more competitive this time round. |  | |  |
