My Hartlepool is surprising all the pundits by residing in the Championship playoff zone at midseason. (2018-19 FM2006). They score 12 goals in a five-game stretch and are tied for the league lead in goals scored.

In next next seven games, they score once -- from a PK.

My usual tactics involve attacking, much creative freedom, mixed passing, quick tempo, wide width, counter-attacking.

My question: what do you do to counter a goal drought when you're playing attacking football?

lower the creative freedom this tells the players to stop doing there own thing and follow the tactic in this case attack

Then it's possible for the players to get too creative for their own good?

Your suggestion is worth a try.

I forgot to mention that we are not shipping goals. During the seven-game stretch, we've allowed four, one of them a PK.
