Agree with the consensus - far too much negativity creeping in from some (including my dad and brother, whom I could no longer bare after 45 minutes!)
It may seem odd to those who witnessed Tuesdays match, but we are still a very competitive team in this league. There are a couple of things to iron out before we can finally get going though.
Firstly, Robbie Lawton is not a full back. I love Robbie, but he will get skinned more often than not by a nippy winger. Densmore is our right back.
Secondly, I'd spend Thursday evenings training session asking all the lads to pump high balls into the area, so Jonesy and Flynny can practise heading the ball away from the goal, rather than straight up!
Thirdly, if we are really not going to get a much-needed partner for Reevsey, I'd certainly start with Astley instead of Twiss against Histon. Not that Twiss has done anything wrong, he just doesn't look like he can score too many, whereas with Astley you just never know...
Lastly, is Stevie Connors still out of work? If so (on a short-term contract) he may be able to provide the vital link between midfield and attack which is clearly lacking and leading to very good players playing hoof ball.
We are close, but it just needs a bit of tweeking and i for one am still sure we'll win the league.
