I think I'd change up that attack because they've been awful. Olakigbes pace could best be used off the bench potentially anyway. I'd probably go more like Mandeville, Dobra, Colclough, Madden. Although with the season being basically done like you say, it could be we want to take a longer look...
All fair points, I'd also much rather we spent in the summer rather than try and rebuild on the fly in January where there's sod all value. There's a couple of these I am relieved are only loan players that's for sure though.
It's been no surprise to me one bit to see Bromley settle in here like they have. They always had the style to make a comfortable seat for themselves, but again they are probably a Michael Cheek injury away from struggling aren't they. What they've achieved is great though, they are the opitome...
I can't blame it all on injuries mate, I think we've gone backwards since the transfer window in a big way, and these are Paul Cook signings. That's been the biggest disappointment for me. Obviously McFadzean is an unlucky one, but I don't think he'd have fixed our inability to be threatening...
It's just time isn't it sometimes; lose the hangers on and crocks and have a real proper window after that.
It's a really good point that it's an attritional grind of a season. Even the bad teams aren't bad and set themselves up hard to beat. It's like playing Bromley and Solihull and Halifax...
Absolutely, huge miss. Losing your 3 top scorers will hurt any team won't it.
Cooks been making the right noises in front of the camera but reading between the lines I dont know if he hasn't known for quite a while that we need more rebuild here before we can compete. He's looked a bit dejected...
At the risk of sounding like Arsene Wenger, I didn't see any of that. I saw Smith throw Sparkes, a guy half his size, to the ground which our bench was incensed about and I think he was quite lucky to escape with only a yellow, he could have gone for violent conduct there. You turned it into...
Indeed, we've gone from a win away from 2nd to here. I'd like to blame it all on injuries, I mean it's a factor, but honestly we've just failed to replace Dilan Markanday and James Berry properly and generally our recruitment I don't think has been quite at it. I see Markanday can't get a game...
Yeah I'm not really sure about many of the new boys either if I'm honest. Duffy delivers a decent ball but plays like he needs a rocket up his arse, Olakigbe is very ineffectual against a low block with tight pressing, Pepple looks like the big galoot he is again, I'd be quite happy to send...
I'm getting annoyed with this set of players now. Absolutely toothless and too many errors at the back. There's genuinely not that many I'd be clawing to keep. I reckon they'll be huge turnover in the summer.
Cooks giving himself an absolutely coronary on the side line. I bet his voice is going...
Behave, your players have more hands than a gospel choir. Never seen so much shirt pulling and grappling. Harry Smith especially culpable, lucky to still be on the pitch. Tshimanga must have learned that at your place too, he wasn't like that here but looks like he wants to swap shirts with...
It's hardly much better but I think he's scored 3. The finishes against County and Bromley I thought was a glimpse through the window of what we could have.
