I hate the “we’ve got a young squad” excuse that Robins trotted out last night. Sunderland are top of the league with multiple teenagers starting and a new manager, playing the best football they have in years.
It really is like watching England at the Euros. No effective pressing, lots of passing around the defence that breaks down as soon as it moves forward.
Our midfield is weaker than it was a few months ago. I could really see us returning to 5atb to tighten up if the CMs keep getting overrun like they did against stoke and Bristol.
