Still heading back North after a lacklustre performance, indeed by both sides. I normally do a ratings thing here but feel that a quick general analysis is needed. It started badly losing the toss and shooting towards the "North" stand first - never out style. I am more concerned about the repeated lack of any creativity from midfield, at this point its worth saying that Mick M and TC have done a massive job here in stabilising the club, re-invigorating some players and getting the fans back behind he club. I do however wonder if there is ever a plan B, I am at a loss as to why we have not tried Jack Marriott at least for a short time. I think defensively we are ok, but Chambers is not a right back, and sadly accommodating Berra has split up what was a very solid defence. Today we lost Gerken, which gave Loach another chance, I don't think you can fault him and he seemed better coming for crosses than he has done before - sadly I think both keepers are of a similar standard. In midfield we lack creativity, Hyam and Skuse are the same type of players with the latter by far the more accomplished. I would like to see Tunnicliffe given a central berth to start and either a youngster wide or Jay Tabb. Up front we really are a one man strike force and you cannot expect David M to do it week in week out. Murphy is 6ft 3 yet seemed incapable of winning a header for the majority of the game, he should also have shot in the second half when he got past his defender. I would love to see Ebanks Blake added but a midfielder is very much the missing link here. | |
