Our skills under pressure have been pretty poor, so perhaps a change to our training methods might help to improve this.
Rightly or wrongly, the drills aren't about creating realistic pressure but more so about implementing how you want to move the ball. If there's equal or more defenders, it can get messy, not allowing players to get in a rhythm (so to speak) of how to do what they should be doing.

At certain times I have found that clubs will change it up, and even up the numbers, but by and large it does typically favour the attackers when the drill is concerned with ball movement.

Agree that given our poor skill execution ever since 2011, we need to make adjustments.
