Hopefully lessons are being learned, Donaldson has reverted back to type: he can neither attack or defend. Magnay can only play one position, right back or simply not at all. Featherstone a good player in a confident, winning team unfortunately we are anything but at the minute. Kitching is no left back.
On the flip side impressed with the new lads who participated but equally disappointed that Amos didn’t start. Money had the bottle to start with the new, apart from left back position.
He has to shake off the old, including those previously mentioned and bring on the new.
Defence needs sorting we’re sitting way too deep, and Kioso should be in there
Kioso.....Raynes.........a.n.other.......Amos
Or Anderson, as a.n.other with decent coaching.
Midfield is a major problem, Molyneux impressed in parts and has great potential, Paddy with a run of games and Noble and maybe Luke, should give an equal balance of protection to the defence and support to strikers.
Feathers as said earlier, doesn’t fit, Donaldson just doesn’t have it.
On to the strikers, Kabamba impressed, are him and Cassidy the answer to the goal drought, do we need a ‘number 10’? Where does Muir fit? So many questions
Maybe the defence sitting deep is making the midfield look bad and massive gaps are appearing and being exploited by the opposition. If this is the case we may as well not play strikers cos they’re never going to see the ball. We need to play more on the front foot as opposed to letting the opposition take the initiative and putting us on the back foot, we conceded within five minutes of each half starting this afty.
Needs major changes if we’re to move forward. I’m prepared to give Money time but he has to stop chopping and changing and get rid of the deadwood, if you’re reading this Richard that includes Donaldson.
We’re dormant, lack anticipation, second to everything, slow to close down and afraid. But we’re improving just by adding Raynes, Molyneux and Kabamba. Allowed more time, choice of acquisition and bottle to move out the crap he’ll succeed, but football managers are football managers and we’ll see.
