.....truth is I've said from close season all we've done is improve the squad but the first XI if anything is a little worse than last year without Duncan and losing Williams is a huge blow.
Lee needs to avoid complacency, replace Williams quickly ...otherwise we will continue to ship too many goals whilst our free scoring papers the cracks that we are a play off team at best (and a probable losing play off team at that without the ability to dominate the decent sides)
Agreed.
Unfortunately we don't even have the ability to dominate the
poor sides, as demonstrated yesterday. I keep expecting some team to be on the end of a 5-0 thrashing from Alty (and the way we were carving open Oxford and being 2-0 up so early, yesterday should have been that day) but I'm beginning to think that expectation is pie in the sky.
We've played enough bottom half teams already this season without the semblance of a title-winning performance. Perhaps we need to play better quality opposition or be on the receiving end of a drubbing before this team ups its game. Or maybe we are already playing to our capability......
A good win at NFU next Saturday would be a shot in the arm. Fingers crossed.
