MIO, I don't agree with your first paragraph, but the rest is all a-o-k to me.
I understand where Bolts is coming from - he's the man in charge, this is his way of doing things, then so be it.
My concern is where we go from here. Being hard to score against is one thing - winning games is quite another. in 2016, we were 9th for points conceded, 17th for points scored, 14th overall. At this point in season 2017, we are again 9th for points conceded, last for points scored, 16th overall. Is this stagnation, or even slightly backward movement, a necessary part of the evolutionary process, or have we missed something along the way ? Is it simply down to youth, or is there more to it ?
As I said, I'll be watching with great interest to see how it all pans out. Hopefully Bolton really smashes it.
