Vital 1st Team Regular
I think last night showed the unbalanced squad Appleton has been left with. These are my thoughts some will agree and some will disagree but football is all about opinions.
3 Centre Backs (2 Ageing in Shackell & Bossie) - I'm not counting Melbourne and Connolly as they were signed for Left back and centre mid cover.
2 Wingers - Bruno and Harry - I'm not classing Grant or Payne as wingers as they are clearly number 10's and should not be out non the wing.
1 Defensive Midfielder - O'Connor, yes Morrell plays a bit deeper but he can hardly be classed as a Midfield enforcer.
And then we have lots of pretty midfielders with no height or tackling skills. Pett, Freck, Hesketh, Grant, Payne, Chapman (ok he has height)
and finally 2 strikers - Walker - Good goalscorer but for me limited out of the box and then we have big John the man last night who controlled a football further than I can kick it these days.
Appleton likes to play with pace we have no pace in midfield and we cannot change it out wide in games as limited due to only have 2 wingers. We cannot play two up top as again no one to replace a striker later on in the game.
