Can we move the ball around quickly?

If anything it's got worse. For the Luton game, lost count of the number of times we got a throw down by H Block. The thrower would stand with the ball waiting for somebody - anybody - to move around a bit. Eventually a single player would jog slowly into throwing range, he'd receive the ball from the throw, faff around a bit then pass it back to the thrower. So easy to defend against.

It is beoming a joke. Luton the only quick passes that were made were when El Abd under hit a pass to someone and they had to lunge in to get a toe in infront of theier marker.

Sullivan cant keep the ball on the pitch, so we cant even build something up from the back.

There is no basis to keep the ball and move it quickly because if the midfield get it they pass it backward to Elphick who kicks it as far forawrd as he can to a small person playing upfront

Another thing we dont have is a player capable of dribbling it past 2 players which means we have even less drive going forward in the absence of moving the ball around quickly

Can we not knock it?

Errrrrrrrrrr no, no we can't. Additionally, we can't control it; pass it; keep it; hit it...

And do I not like THAT.

Last time I really saw quality passing and movement was when Thornton made a hat trick for Murray (against Cheltenham, ironically).

Since then Thornton was used stupidly sparingly and there is STILL a few here who would like to hound our best player out of the club. Note the ridiculous over-reaction in the "Murray not chasing back one ball in possession of a player near his own CORNER FLAG" thread. I'm not disputing that he should've chased back, but some of the comments were moronic.
