And that is a point we have been discussing during matches the past few weeks, why we have gone from looking dangerous whenever we attack and creating lots, as with early in the season, to now creating little and scoring very rarely.

The change is personnel owing to injuries is definitely a factor in having to play a different way as not every player plays the same or fits the same style (and our signings this season appear to be intended for us to be able to play a number of different formations and styles), but I also think a big issue is that we were probably a surprise package early on as it was a very different style to last season. But as clubs cottoned on, they have countered it and made it far harder for us to succeed playing the same way as a result. And whilst we have a good side, we aren't like Birmingham or Wrexham last year where our players are too good for the level so we can just play how we want and be better than and beat most sides. Also with us doing so well, sides started coming to us with defensive set ups, which are harder to break down. And I cannot really ever remember is dealing with that, going back decades with different managers, coaches and players, we always struggle to break down defensive sides.

This is where Revs is going to have to earn that new contract of his, and going to have to come up with a way we can mix it up and get back creating good chances, taking them, and winning again, regardless of how sides defend against us. Hopefully sooner rather than later before we start to drop down the table and out of contention.
