1. real lack of pace in the side in many areas, particularly midfield, mean we dont break out or attack quick enough.
2. tactically naive at times for premier league unlike Rogers and Lambert sides
3. our home pitch being small allows teams to defend very compactly and may account for our apalling home form which is so important for survival
4. general poor delivery of the ball into the box from wide positions knowing the premier defenders can deal with aerial balls well, would be nice to see someone get in behind the opposition at times
5. Lack of someone other than taarabt who can be creative and unlock a defense with a bit of magic or blistering pace.
Today showed signs of better tactical awareness and the space helped us. Lets hope this is is the start of our improvement. defenders played well but then Newcastle didnt throw many forward into the box at times. could see Mark Hughes had had an impact in just a few days
