Well done lads for fighting until the end to collect the 3 points !!
I am all for a change in formation but it was clear after only 10 mins today that 5-3-2 was not working. Griffin was up against an excellent right winger in there number 7 and had no cover at all, as our midfielders were very central. We needed width today and would have been better off playing 4-4-2 against a well organised Lemington team. Clee can not play centre mid, the game bypasses him and then he will try a turn which he would get away with on the wing and turns into trouble. Even reverting back to 4-4-2 for the last 8 mins made a difference but that should have been changed after the first 20 mins.
Perry did OK, not sure it was a man of the match performance, however we need to start Walshaw and Reeves. There are times when Perry holds it up but today it was pointless as we had no width so we reverted back to the long punt up field. It was scrappy and the wrong tactics . The thing with playing Perry and this is NOT his fault is we become scrappy. We don’t get it on the floor, we are a much better team when the ball is on the floor. For me Walshaw and Reeves can easily play together, not a believer that strikers can’t play with each other. If it’s a case that Walshaw and Reeves become a bit more greedy playing together then I would rather have that, because I guarantee we would score more goals with those two. Walshaw brings you energy, he’s strong, good with his head and he continually chases down which Perry doesn’t do, which means teams move up the pitch more easier and quicker against us. At times today the full backs had no-one to pass to so just kicked very high in the air.
If we play 3 at the back this would be my team :-
Coburn
RCB Havern LCB Higginbotham
CB Leather
RWB Densmore LWB Griffin
CM Richman CM Moult
RCF Walshaw LCF Clee
CF Reeves
