    In 60 league games under King Keith, we have never triumphed from behind.
    Why is this?

    Because we're not very good.

    A rather simplistic answer, but an answer all the same. Perhaps the correct one, too.
    Thing is, even with our 'stars' of last season who have since departed into the ether, we never managed it. Which leaves me thinking the management is key to the issue.
    We are great at going in front though, and letting the other lot beat us from behind.

    He doesn't want a big lad up front let alone behind. To be honest, I'd go with pace as well, get it over with.

    Do you think we should just get our heads down and swallow it?

    There is more openness about the play till we go behind then we find ourselves with less space and haven`t creativeness in abundance which means it hard to unlock defences.

    We don't score many goals. Rarely do we score more than one in a game. If the opposition score before us we've very little chance of beating them because we haven't got the goals in us to do so. Fact of the matter is we don't win many games at all, never mind games where we go a goal behind. And all this is true because we're not very good. It's not about character or fitness or Keith Hill not having a plan B, it's because we're a poor football team at this level and are easily beaten by better teams.

    Agreed.

    That's why I love us.

    Yep, we struggle when a team is able to sit back and fill the space between defence and midfield. And we don't overlap with our full backs anything like enough. One of those is difficult to solve with the quality of players we are able to attract, the second could and should be rectified through tactics.

    Also this season we should have won numerous games that we went behind in but we've wasted far too many chances

    I think we should endeavour to score more goals and concede less. What are you on about?

    Rocket science, and tessellation.
