We're getting outplayed and beat anyway, so instead of setting us up to contain the opposition it's about time we took the game to them.
Football is a little like chess in this respect. When I first started playing competitively I was that concerned about how good my opponent was that I played defensively and got beat. After not winning for about 7 games I thought did this and went on the attack. I'm now unbeaten in about 11 and players now look at my grade and play defensively against me which ironicalily makes it easier for me.
So come on Redders, attack attack attack and sod em all.

I wholeheartedly agree.
Playing within oneself does nothing to enable learning. There is a time to keep the basics going but that is usually when you are in control of your own game but under pressure.
You simply have to know what your strengths are and go 100% at it. Im afraid Redders and this squad have no idea yet. It also characterised SE's reign in the championship.
In L2 and L1 , we developed a distinct style that bar the odd under par performance one could recognise every game.
Since coming up we have been so afraid that we are just responding to everyone else. Hence the Jekyll and Hyde nature of our team
1. Pick a team of players that want to play.
2. Pick your best players.
3. Play to your own strengths, not the opposition's.
4. Use subs wisely and tactically.
5. Repeat the above.
