We dont have the quickest players in the midfield either so I think you are reliant on your mids winning the stoppages/clearances and your forwards applying pressure and not allowing that sling shot game. You want to outnumber the down the line kick and allow the opposition to kick short to the weak side to slow down movement and trap them hoping for a turnover with a high risk kick if they choose to be bold and pinpoint a difficult pass.
I think our forward pressure has been lacking but we got lucky with some of the Nth players panicking ie Fisher, McKercher and handing us goals, better drilled teams wont do that so we need to be more proactive and get back to what we were doing when we had that winning streak.
