Part of me wonders if it's about conserving energy. In our conference league season, we were much more gung-ho - High line, attacking at pace.... But massively came off the rails towards the end of the season when everyone was running on empty.
The more conservative style of play came in last season and... the slow, lethargic build up which we can't seem to shake off. I want the conference league style of play back - This new one is shite.
