We need to start every game with intensity 08:31 - Mar 12 with 486 viewscbower

Too many times this season our intensity and tempo have been poor for long periods, especially in the first half of games we have gone behind in. At times, we've started well with tempo but after 5 minutes and no breakthrough we have seemed laboured and ponderous. Our first goal on Tuesday is what we need more of. One and two touch, moving the ball quickly to pull teams out of shape. We can do it and we must do it if the automatic spot is to be achieved. Without intensity and good tempo we lcan ook somewhat average.

I think the question has to be asked why ? Although games are coming thick and fast now even when we had international breaks and more time to rest and put in place tactics etc we still didn't come out of the traps.

Shoot more... I'd advocate a policy of every attack must end with a shot! Evidence Tuesday night ... Jack Taylor used get a fair handful like that for Posh. We need to buy more raffle tickets and hopefully win more prizes.

I get the impression this season we play in the manner we do to eliminate the high scoring , high risk style which did work for us in 23/24 but it had it's risks. Whilst I can see the argument for McKenna wanting this style it does give us causal fans the idea that the players at times aren't ruthless enough or want it as much as we do . I'm pretty sure they do but it's a perception we have maybe

That said , I would enjoy seeing us start a little quicker for sure and hopefully getting the game wrapped up sooner rather than later

I'm sure with the "quality" and experience we have we can have a hybrid of both styles ?

It does annoy me at times this season with the seemingly laboured approach at times but as I've said it's the direction KMcK has taken the style of play .

A mix of both would be good

Tbf Hirst Chappers and Broady did squeeze defenders must higher and quicker in KMs first teo years. We won a lot of ball very high up the field. Very risky now we are at a higher level and scouted more but i still think we should shoot more when we get round the box.
