Centre midfield 21:06 - Mar 6 with 941 views | uppersirbob | Skuse has been missed older head with downes Bishop and dozzell were over ran Andre didn’t have the best game lost of missed passes and bishop was non existent Bennett’s is no better than Edwards Bennett’s gets in great position with the ball but seems he won’t take a player on and cross the ball he seems low on confidence Holy was again weak Cook will turn it around given time We have to many players of the same abilities come the end of season 10-15 will need to be moved on free up some money for better quality |  | | |  |

People need to get off downes's back regarding cards etc People used to say same about Rooney and his aggression yet sir Alex used to say that's what made him the player he was Same with downes. Let him have a chip in his shoulder let him get put there and have some battles. |  |

Exactly, we need players like that in division 3, |  |

Centre midfield on 21:28 - Mar 6 with 849 views | clive_baker | I think it’s true that we lack b0llocks all over the pitch. How many leaders do we have? Chambers and Norwood perhaps the only 2 realistically. The central midfield is so lightweight and meek with Dozzell and Bishop in there, both about 5ft 8, neither particularly strong or offer much protection to the back 4. Good players, certainly, but I really think we need Downes in there, especially when Judge is out. Ideally both, and then it starts to feel like a side that has some bite about it. I don’t think Bennett’s turned the ball over once today, he’s terrible out of possession and debatable how much value he adds in possession for me. We look like a side plucked out of academy football. Not enough ‘real blokes’ for the rigours is Gillingham away. |  |

Some of them this season have been ridiculous. He needs teaching to use his aggression more positively. I am sure there has been a lot of frustration and a new manager should help. There were no signs of the same petulance today. I am afraid for all Dozzell's skill and potential, I cannot see him and Bishop working together without someone like Downes/Skuse behind them. As much as Downes needs to temper the aggression, Dozzell needs to learn to stop grappling and diving in when he isn't going to get the ball. |  |

Quite. It’s not about aggression and giving away cheap fouls and cards. It’s about influencing games and winning the personal battles and 50:50’s in the middle. |  |
