Well, that was pretty poor if I’m honest. Ponderous and timid in possession, no flexibility, some positional changes that didn’t work and gifted them two goals.
It’s not the time to panic or get too down about it but we’ve got to take the bull by the horns and get serious now. Sort the goal keeper situation, tell Barrows to get fit, sign at least two more adults who’ve played football and get aggressive in the final third.
We’ve essentially done the same passing over and over again and expected a different result. Insanity?
Baines held up well, we didn’t look too threatened by them but it was like a training ground game. Need to crack on now.
Good post. It's very unfortunate that Dermot Mee's first significant contribution was to make a mistake which led to a goal, but that was the case, and his team-mates therefore have that worrying lack of confidence in him.
We actually had two strikers on for a time tonight, but stiil seem to be prone to pass it around the circle that one time too often, trying to find the perfect opportunity rather than have a go at goal.
The players aren't suddenly bad players though, so we can turn this around, starting against a Yeovil Town team who have had a worse start than us.
