Agree that midfield is our big problem at the moment. The amount of players that spiritually left this club after that defeat at Colchester is unreal. I think Jake Moult is a fantastic player and Richman was invaluable in this team for so long. They both need to get the weight of the world off their shoulders and start enjoying football again. Neither were solely to blame for the teams relegation, they need to know that and get there heads up, and start playing again
I think the manager went spiritually too.
And you're right about the moult and Richman but the things is, I've said it before and I'll say it again, the pre season fitness regime was a shambles. Jake looks overweight, Simon only looks naturally fit rather than football fit (possibly add Lawrie and Reeves to that),a menagerie of players did not enter August physically fit or robust enough to make an impact (Menagh, Hasler-Cregg, Miller), or were never going to be able to shake off injuries/inactivity enough to be effective (Hattersley, dare I say it Goodall).
It simply wasn't good enough and the consequences are lasting and damaging. At no point have I seen us rise above sluggish, I haven't see us fly out of the traps at teams or close down effectively (or as a unit) or cover ground whenever a team moves the ball against us.
Dispiriting.
