Think I might sacrifice Wakeling and Darcy for Minturn and Jeffcott.
Minturn enables FBT to go LB and offer a threat going forward.
Yeah at this point I think I'd start Minturn and Clayton CB. Two left footed CBs are a problem. |

Pretty much as poor as it gets really, Morris has been left with a bit of a nothing team on this evidence.
This midfield has absolutely nothing about it, a couple of youngsters & Darcy has left us with pretty much no options. Kadji and Cain seem to have no confidence receiving the ball around our box or passing through the lines and on the rare occasions they do it’s usually a hospital ball. As off form as he was no one can tell me Reed wouldn’t have massively improved our midfield compared to what we have out there today.

I know I am a broken record, but this has been the issue all season with recruitment. Pretty much everyone we have brought in has been an immediate down grade on the person they are replacing in the squad. I'll buy the concept that they may, in some case, have room for development and eventually be better/more valuable. That doesn't help when the immediate aim should be getting out of this division. We have built a team for resale or three years from now. Our entire midfield today, assuming Darcy is in the three, are players who look raw and learning the game. Nice touches, potential, the odd good flick and pass, but mixed in with panic, rushed decisions or the complete opposite of dwelling on the ball - all things inexperience cause. |

We’ve still had 66% possession & made 345 passes. Not sure what Reed would add to that? |

Another 43 passes (31 sideways) maybe?  |

For all that Wakeling has made errors, that's the second defender he's got booked. (Hawes says the same while I am typing. Grant can't bring himself to praise...)

A calmness that is basically nonexistent today and an option for our centre backs. |

Am I being overly cynical in thinking Wakeling is preferring to get fouled than having to run through?

We're doing a bit better. Kadji, Cain and Wakeling improving.
