Lots of people miss the point - they were the reliable, trustworthy, honest, hard-working decent players that every team needs in the dressing room. What we've lacked is 20 goal a season strikers, midfielders arriving late in the box and sticking away chances, flying wingers, flair players to unlock defences, stick a 30 yard free-kick into the top corner etc. It's the fact that we've been relying on the likes of Sears, Hawkins, Judge, Bennetts, Jackson, Norwood, Nolan etc. to provide this that we've been so rubbish. | |
