I’m not certain he was that poor defensively TB (though he often is in this Division)......he gets forward and runs with the ball very well, but as many others have said he struggles to ‘pass wind’ and he couldn’t ‘cross the road’....his crosses are either at shin height, or so far over hit that a 10 foot Centre forward on a step ladder, would watch it sailing way over his head and on to the far touch line.
Its a real failing in the team, Naismith has shown himself to be the best crosser of a ball in the past, but yesterday he seemed reluctant to put the bloody thing in the box, continually twisting and turning from left foot to right and back again, before giving up and taking the easy option by rolling it back up the touchline to someone else.
Maddening.
