I am hoping this will my last post for a while as I am sick of repeating myself and seeing dire performances.
I have just read Lee's post match comments after Saturday and it appears to show emotion which is a good thing but he goes on about the defence but he is the one selecting the wrong defence.
Lets take a step back to our promotion season and especially the final, Havern and Leather were a success, solid and comfortable together, lets look at our best patch this season in which we hardly conceded and it was after Marshall sending off. I am not entirely blaming Marshall for the poor defensive perfomances but he isn't good enough, he's nervous, slow, commits himself high and just isn't fit enough. This has then had a knock on effect with Havern's performances. Havern loses his confidence and is caught out of position when playing with him, you can see and feel it. It just doesn't work.
Now Havern and Leather are solid and comfortable, Scott is four times the ball winner than Marshall and Havern sweeps, they do it extremely well together. Scott is our best centre back and those two together bring confidence to the team and more importantly Stuart. It is so clear so if Sinnott has any decent tactical ability then we start the team sheet with those two names written first as centre backs.
We have a lot of dead wood, lets go one or two divisions below and get keen, young, strong and fit lads. Give Gillespie a few games or get rid, get rid of Mike Williams, Marshall and Perry. Trouble is Lee lives so far away he can't do mid week local game scouting but I guarantee there will be better players than those mentioned above, we need players who can play at a high tempo, closing down, eager and just hungry to succeed at this level.
Lee needs to make some brave decisions now before we make this even harder for ourselves. We just can't have any passengers, we need more aggressive players too but for now get our best back four back together and build from there. We need to stay in this league. s
