Mark Hudson: "When we've struggled to create chances, it's

Mark Hudson:

"We were resilient in the first half, but I don't think we created too many opportunities." Mark began. "In the second half, we didn't start the way we wanted to, and then we're chasing the game.

"When we've struggled to create chances, it's very difficult to break down a good side.

"After the last game, digging in as well as they did, they put a lot of graft in. I thought I'd freshen it up, and that might bring a little bit of impetus towards their goal.

"We've got players that are raring to go, trying to get onto the pitch. They brought some impetus to the game, but not enough cutting edge.

"We had a couple of moments, but we didn't create or have that real cutting edge or belief in front of goal or around the box, to go 1v1 or set someone to take their opportunity. It's something we need to work on."

Mark,
its 3 centre half
Then 2 wingback one of which has been here years and barely gets a look in (he is L2)
2 defensive midfielders
A centre forward who evidently is never a centre forward a hard-working defensive attacking wide midfielder who could probably play wingback
A right wide forward who is never scores or assists at championship level
and CR who can't do the heavy lifting up top but does get himself into good positions

The issue, what else could you do?

I hate to see Robinson and Harris keep losing the ball and the ball coming back to defence. Blackburn scored because Harris was too soft to hold up the ball. If you don’t have someone with strength to hold up the ball, you need midfielders further forward to win the ball back.
