Too many players just playing for themselves 18:11 - Feb 1 with 1135 viewstonybied

I don't often post negatively about the team but most of our forward line just seem to want to do it all themselves. All of them were guilty of hanging on to the ball for too long today.

For me McKenna 's biggest failing this season is chopping and changing too much. I don't think we've named and unchanged side once this season and I know we've been hit by injuries at points but even when we've not had injuries the team is too different one game to the next. He really needs to start picking a more settled side constantly. I don't think it's helping the team to learn each others game properly and so players are trying to hang on to the ball rather than playing the quick 1-2 touch football that got us here.

Yes. Remember our patterns of play last season and the season before. Quick movement and passing. Now our 10's all run into dead ends.

Hey now, hey now, don't dream it's over

I agree with the changes being an issue and the greediness at times.

A little bit of lack of composure. Omari and Enciso both great feet but they seemed to think that they had to do everything today.

It's why I'm so vocal about Broady because I feel he plays in sync with the team more.

It was the first time some of them had played together, one's only been in the building about 3 days - hardly surprising they don't yet perform like a well-oiled machine!

Indeed, I understand that we have just brought in new players but my point is not just concerning today. The whole season has been this way so far. 4-5 changes nearly every match is too much churn. Lambert got the Lambingo moniker for exactly the same behaviour.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not comparing McKenna to Lambert, clearly McKenna is a much better manager than the Lambert we had in charge, that still doesn't mean he can't face criticism. Honestly, I think McKenna has been found wanting a little this season....


...but there is still time to turn this ship around. The team needs to pull together and bond but without continuity that is a tall task.

Totally agree! Hutch’s end product has been poor this season, beats one, beats two…loses it to the third! Even Delap, as good as he played today, several times in that second half he looked to shoot when there were better options.

I've noticed that for a few games now. Unsure whether it's selfishness, or perhaps a lack of trust in their teammates. Do they perhaps feel that trying to beat the man is more likely to result in success than playing it to someone else?

Confidence and a degree of arrogance is a necessary trait in top players, but I hope that the team spirit is still there.

You ain't a beauty but, hey, you're alright.

Broady was no better, his inability to finish the clearcut chances he had cost us today unfortunately
