What needs to change for Solihull Moors?
The primary issue is clear: conceding too many goals. Letting in an average of over three goals per game is unsustainable at any level. The defensive unit, which you can review on our squad page, must find greater resilience. While they have shown they can score, netting five times, the balance is severely off.
Managerial and tactical adjustments will be necessary to stop the rot. The sequence of losses-LLLLL in recent form-creates a psychological hurdle the squad must overcome. Building from a solid defensive base will be the first step towards earning points.
Solihull Moors' next opportunity to get points on the board comes quickly, with the schedule offering a chance to reset. The club's historical data against Gateshead shows they can compete in high-scoring games, but they must start turning those into results.
