what happend to this style of play...

Thought the 10 did well tonight. Looking for something postive, I saw this video on YT and although AJ looks unplayable, the speed and flow of our play was frightening. Where has it gone?

this 'sytle' of play in fair has been diluted by changes in shape and formation.

its hard to name our best 11 cos its almost impossible to know what our formation will be

That's bloody wonderful. Quick, direct, cut them to bits, and lovely to watch as well. Yet instead this slow tippy-tappy approach has crept in. Maybe it's because they're tired.

Maybe...erm...

I have no idea why we have stopped attacking in this highly organised way. A lack of width is a big factor, perhaps? AJ, in these clips, provided fantastic width and pulled their defence to bits.
