Why do our players stand in an offside position for set pieces and never walk back on before the ball is played?

 

Pretty standard tactic. Forces their players to drop or for our players to be onside and unmarked for the second phase once the defensive line has dropped.

We are a bit sloppy and impatient. We tend to rush things when it’s not needed. Keep hold of the ball and co troll the game better imo. We sit back a bit too much for my liking as it gives the crowd and opposition a bit unnecessary momentum. 
 

Big Joe has been poor.

Yeah, it’s the not dropping back though, they just fucking stand there as our player makes a run up to the ball.

For some reason the performance has dropped off the last 3 games. Intensity and quality in possession has left us. 

 

On the positive side, we may win 2/3 while not being at our best. 

 

We can't play well in every game. The key is to play well enough and get the points regardless.
