Our attacking game is all about wide players getting crosses into the box. The problem is none of our strikers are proficient at heading the ball. Sakamoto heads the ball in the box more times than Wright, Simms and Asante.
Cut Doug some slack. Transactions are complex and difficult to get over the line. Last night I watched twenty of the best business people (their words not mine) fail to complete the purchase of shrimp paste.
Some deals take more time than others to complete. The new winger being announced on Tuesday doesn’t mean talks or bids haven’t been made for a LB, DM or CB. Relax the window closes next week.
Eccles should have started instead of Asante. What did he do? Threw an elbow and wrestled their centre forward. Sported a nice wrist strapping. Did he know it was a ball game or did he think he’d signed up for a cage fight.
