It's all about opinions but I disagree. Reed is a shadow of a player from last season what's happened to him, Wakeling has great potential and Jephcott was sought after by many teams. Today we had 70% possession and should be beating teams like Crewe convincingly considering we still have a decent midfield on paper even without Williams.
And most weeks we will win these games - hence why we are 7th. The team is not goo enough to compete for the top three, as things stand, that is my frustration.
Jephcott is meh - can probably get on the end of some chances but he doesn't offer enough beyond that. You can carry that type of player when someone is bullying the defence around him I think, but Wakeling isn't going to ever be able to do that job. As a pair, they don't look threatening enough and Wakeling is the better prospect.
Who else can we bring on up front?
We don't have anyone in midfield who offers something different. Reed is not going to make us suddenly more dynamic, he will offer more of what we already have.
Iandolo is a decent pro, not much more than that.
Not a single central defender who can take a defence by the scruff of the neck. Clayton is a good talent, but we really lack a presence and organiser of the team.
Nobody on the subs bench offers much more than we what the first XI provide.
It's a whole lot of OKness.
The sky is not falling, but it's really irritating that we do not seem to have assembled a top three challenging squad.
