ALL footballers are coached from an early age,if theres nothing on,retain possession,ie ,if the forward pass is not on go sideways,if thats not on go backwards.
If you have the ball,the oponents cant score,and you can dictate the tempo of the game.
By moving the ball around,your moving the opposition around,and waiting for them to switch off and then attack that area.
A lot of teams are well organised so its not easy,so patience is key.
Our main problem IMHO is we arent holding the ball up at vital times,therefore its nearly impossible to get runners beyond them.
You need a focal point in attack and hopefully Beatty will give us this,time will tell

Oh i agree if yeh don't get players in space yer giving possesion away, that says to me theres summat not right if they aint going forward? The times we have seen Stanley attacking the clayton end n NO stanley player is actually in the box, Whats all that about?
