I'd say sort the home form and mind set, no wonder a lot of people wanted a change from GR, 4 years of trying to nick a 1 nil win against bang average sides!!
Get us attacking at The Den will get the fans on board early doors!!
Having watched most of our games from afar over the last 4 years a couple of things I have noticed:
1, MOVEMENT or lack of, every Southampton player yesterday never stood still, not even the goalkeeper, as soon as they made the pass they were on the move. We seem to pass and stop! This is why we always seem to go sideways or backwards, there is zero movement!!
2, ON OUR HEELS, I was taught at 5 years old "Always be on your toes, not heels" we are always on our heels, prime example yesterday Cooper wins a header, it goes across their box and there was nobody there!! Cooper is 6 foot 7 ffs!! As soon as he goes up for the header Bradshaw/Nesbit/Flemming etc should be on their bikes!!!
3, PASSING, it truly is pub league standard at times, when you start playing as a kid your told " Pass in front of the player you are passing to, so he can run onto the ball, we either pass straight or even behind the player!!
All basic stuff really!!
