Hi all,
I'm currently sitting pretty at the top of the championship with QPR with only a few games to go. You might think this is silly me posting this as the tactic seems to be working nicely but I know if I'm going to cope in the premier league I need to make this tactic more defensively secure. This has been quite inconsistent for me, some games I will destroy opponents and others I will lose by fine margins, but there have been a few things that I have noticed when losing games. I am extremely vulnerable to crosses and set pieces, my centre halves seem to just either entirely miss the ball, score an own goal, pass the ball to the striker or lose their marker entirely and allow them in behind. I've tried marking the full backs/wingers and closing them down but every cross that goes into that box just seems to cause my centre halves a lot of trouble. Other times I mostly get done by balls over the top but I can happily accept that this is likely when I am playing such a high line. Other times I lose games simply because of straight red cards of penalties given away but again I can accept this due to the high pressing game I play and the hard tackling I set my players to do. Apologies for the long winded post but I just thought that if I provided as much detail as I can then I'll get the best response. If i see an example of whats happening again in the last couple of games, I will upload a screenshot of exactly what I mean. Thanks guys!
