I was in agreement to play CCC as a false 9 whilst Linney was banned, but CCC needed to be number 10 today, especially when they were winning the midfield battle.
We need Linney and CCC to be starting in all the remaining games. Game management wasn’t great again. Had the opportunity to bring Linney on at HT today, could have then put CCC into 10 and Kossy out wide. Albeit, Mooney did well.
Yet again the impact sub was far too late, giving Linney 20 mins in a stop / start game was poor. Takes players 10 mins to get warm and up to speed. Hardly touched the ball.
They got to grips with Newby for the second half, after he was causing them issues in the first.
I am hoping Amulazor’s injury is not his groin again, we really need him.
The first game when we really missed Marriott. Osborne has dropped off recently, he isn’t controlling games, as he was doing. They have far more desire in the 2nd.Anyone have an update on Marriott’s
injury?
We showed a lack of fight and character second half. How bad are we at set pieces? we need players who want to win the ball in the opposition box. Would be a good start if we got more players in there, far too soft and cautious on all set pieces.
Disappointing.
