Vital 1st Team Regular
Had that Chester goal not gone in it would have been a very hostile half time send off. And so deserved.
We’re a team that’s conceded 45 goals, relegation figures, so I know it’s stating the obvious that it’s going to be hard to win matches. The only question I had about team selection was the roles of Barney and Hourihane which I thought would be better swapped to at least try to get Hourihane further up the pitch in a shooting position. In the event, both were shockingly poor.
El Ghazi at least looks like he has control of the ball and is comfortable on the ball which is pretty unique in our team. Adomah, Bolassie useless.
We can moan about Taylor but the root trouble at the heart of defence is Chester who just isn’t imposing enough. The whole defence is a soft touch but when you’ve got Hourihane and Barney in front of them who can’t tackle and giving the ball away and Hutton giving the opposition headed through balls every now and then what can we expect?
