Awful weather, awful conditions, awful result.....
How many times can we rely on Simon Eastwood to keep us games, well up to a point anyway.
We don’t start games well, our opposition must sense this as it happens far too often.
Possession football is all well and good as long as there is an end product, we are not direct enough and we do not give the opposition defenders more things to worry about. Get the ball wide put the bloody thing in the box, pick up the 2nd ball and take some shots, something will happen if we keep probing and having strikes on goal.
Shrewsbury on more occasions than not played balls into dangerous areas often without looking for a team mate, however their remit must have been that as their front players and wide men ran all over the place, yes there were lost causes but when the pass came off we were often left with 3 against 3 or even 3 against 2.
Shrewsbury are not the best side we have seen this season however their direct approach and pace in key areas scare the hell out of defenders who do not have 100% concentration or understanding, which is currently where we are...
Rob Dickie will be a major asset, I would love to see him partner Curtis Nelson, our full backs are on loan so there’s an area to improve, playing Ruffles at Left back today didn’t works as he got sucked infieild too often which left us exposed,
We have flair and guile in midfield but possibly a little lightweight, Lego will run through a brick wall for us however you can see by some of his reactions with team mates he needs better players around him who will fight for the cause as much as him, Rothwell is a good player going forward, or so in the tackle to break play up.
Henry and Obika have lost all confidence and are in danger of ruining their careers.
Wes came on and just gets his head down and runs forward when the short ball is on then comes short when the ball has already been launched, he scored a poachers goal however he had no real contribution for the other 30 or so minutes he was on the pitch.
Today’s game should really have been over in the first half, the home side had at least 3 clear cut chances during this period and then a further 3 or 4 good chances in the 2nd half, take the tap in from Wes and the deflected shot from Rothwell I don’t really recall their keeper making any notable saves at all..
Fair play to the 700 or so Yellows who travelled, we deserve more that what our players are serving us at present and have been for the last 6 months....
The least they can do is get the 6 or 7 points in our remaining games to stay in this league...
The next 3 games that are at home have just become that little bit harder and crucial with us only picking up 1 point from the last possible 9...
Robinson has almost 1 full week now to make sure we are ready for the run in......
