considering we overloaded with attacking players and didn’t strengthen much in other areas we’ve managed to go 75 minutes without a single shot on target, or forcing their keeper into a single save….
controversial suggestion….
Thomas, Eccles, Simms off
Tats, Wright, BTA on
4-4-2
Tats in front of MVE
Wright on the left
BTA up the middle
MVE plays better with someone in front of him, Wright probably needs to be on, and BTA is 1000% more pressing than Simms at the minute
for me Eccles and Kitching both massively at fault here - there’s a man over so Kitching really should go with the runner if he’s not closing the ball down, and I also agree Eccles could’ve taken one for the team, and not even potentially a yellow - he needs to be stronger and more aggressive...
but there will be if our form and results continue, I think that’s the point
and you’re right, there’s definitely no battle for promotion yet - we are currently playing to stay out of the relegation zone, one loss and we could drop in there
