It works against bad teams but not good teams

We all know the key to beating us is to give us no space and force us into errors.

Championship teams that took that approach made it difficult for us but we often had enough quality to make it work anyway. Against better Championship sides like Watford we were made to look poor.

Every Premier League side have the quality to make it work and crucially they all have good enough scouts and managers to make sure they know how to exploit our weakness.
