Building from the back

[neave]

That's 4 clean sheets in 5 games, along with a preference to play the ball on the deck from the back. The full backs are getting more and more involved in build-up play, and the more of the ball the centre halves see, the better.

 

Paulo definitely knows what he's doing in this respect, and it's good to see the players embracing his philosophy. It's also encouraging to see we're chasing a centre half and a midfielder, presumably both of whom will be very comfortable on the ball.

 

We need to make sure we're behind PS with this, as it'll take time and patience for it to really set in, but building from the back is the sign of a good team.

 

No need for you to take note, Colin; you've probably already wasted your budget on O'Connor, Sproule, Griffiths and Agogo
