    Aye.. a McCall signing his mates AGAIN.

    More worryingly he's been shoehorned into the team.

    Are they? They're all responsible for our lack of quality with the ball, but we've conceded 2 from set pieces.

    I'm giving our back 4 a bit of slack. They've been excellent for a while. If the attacking 6 were as good, we'd be smashing teams.

    I wonder how many games in his life he's played as a 10? Very few id imagine.

    I think there needs to be more purpose and domination in the midfield. Given that we have 5 nominally operating in that area, then we are not able to control the game for any period of time.
    I think there will need to be a lot of thought about this area of the team at the end of the season. having two ‘wingers’ in Crankshaw and Vernam, may well be too much of a luxury.

    People will no doubt have a go at me but this is why I'm still not convinced on T&S. Going forwards we are nothing short of woeful and have been for several weeks now. I'm yet to see an attacking performance and anything resembling cohesion in the final third. Long term, these are anything but good signs.

    Their is no balance, and those three are adding nothing in the midfield area - where we're getting annihilated.

    I'm not convinced either. Thats not say we've made a mistake or they need to go or anything like that, but I said a few weeks ago we should wait till the summer because its very early days.

    Our use of the ball just isn't good enough.

    Rowe should be on for Evans right away for the second half.

    if we can grab a quick goal and the wind is in our favour, it may give us a chance.

    we need more from ALL the players to salvage something

    46% pass accuracy in that first half. I'm actually surprised its that high.

    We need at least one change not bothered who they are, most thought this sort of performance had gone with Stuart,

    It going to if they are here come December next season then they have done well.

    Next season is massive! I have my doubts but they did deserve a contract but I would have always given them until the end of this season. Then reviewed it.
