I Believe we struggle against teams who shut up shop and just look to draw a game and Defend. Grab a goal against the run off play and then shut up shop again.
This is where we have No plan B, Just My opinion.

With the amount of attacking talent we have at our disposal it shouldn't be a problem breaking them down.It is down to DJ to play the tactics that will work and also use his subs at the right times. :ayatollah:

I think its been a season of top teams struggling to beat teams who shut up shop. Every team that has come to the CCS has shut up shop and most teams we visit are also happy for a draw.
I think the jacks maynow find a similar attitude when they go to lower teams. Up to this point most teams have had a go at them but now when the jacks visit they may find that teams will play for a draw.
City and QPR struggled with this through the winter. Notts forest have seen it since Jan and are struggling getting wins away. I strongly believe the gypos will experience this from now on. It wil be interesting to see how they tackle this.

Can we beat Millwall/Preston etc away? Thats the question that will define our season!
