Great stuff.
Thanks for summing this up for me better than I ever could. I have an agitated mumble under my breath about this at least once a game -
'I am by no means an expert on football (or anything for that matter – except for maybe booking advance train tickets) but listen up for a second ‘Forward’ brigade. This is how League One football works – as was proven repeatedly on Saturday. If you keep the ball for more than 25 seconds, the opposition get a bit bored, a bit tired, and a bit confused (because it is such a novelty in the third tier of English hoofball) and suddenly, out of nowhere, gaps that weren’t apparent ten seconds before, suddenly become very apparent, and it becomes possible to make progress, and travel forth into the fabled land of ‘Forward’ you so crave. So please – be quiet'.
