Unlike many teams, they are generally slow and ponderous in their build up. When players receive the ball, they have very few options other than sideways or backwards because very, very few players run into space ahead of them. /QUOTE]
Nail on the head. Standing on the Clayton End is like watching tennis, with the ball going from side to side in mid-field. Whatever happened to pass and move? Alternatively, how about someone from mid-field bursting through the middle Proccy style, taking on and beating opponents to get into the danger areas for a shot? Mind you, we rarely work the opposing keeper even when given a clear shot on goal. It's getting stressful to watch.
