Well…I think you’re right but is there a case to made that Wright should’ve gambled on committing to the far post?Needs to transfer some of that confidence with and without the ball into his shooting now. Think he was in two minds when he passed poorly for Wright. Should have hit it at goal across the keeper. Any spill and Wright would have been there anyway.
we are nearly in the relegation zone with a midfield that is clearly lacking and we need to completely reinvest in that area.Sheaf is outstanding. Eccles is not far behind and has progress to make. They would both be pushing for selection in most champ teams
We were in the relegation zone last October, did you think the same of Hamer and Gyok?we are nearly in the relegation zone with a midfield that is clearly lacking and we need to completely reinvest in that area.
Yet both are the best in the division. ok then…
They are both excellent at the jobs they do, they play in a 3 and it's the third man that's been the problem all season not them.we are nearly in the relegation zone with a midfield that is clearly lacking and we need to completely reinvest in that area.

We've created the better chances in 13 games out of the 16 we've playedIf they were, we certainly wouldn’t have squandered as many winning positions as we have and likewise, we would created more chances.
Both players benefitted from playing alongside Hamer last season. They have the joint responsibility of try to create and attack as Gus did.
I’m hoping they develop that but on what I’ve seen this season, midfield is a glaring area of weakness imo.

Err less actually....I don’t think we create many clear cut chances tbh.
Compared to last season, think of how many clear cut chances Hamer and Gyo fashioned?
For me, and I know this is subjective, but a lot of our chances are sorted by having a stronger midfield. It could be the case that COH comes back and makes a big difference as he gets more match fit.
But, more likely, we just miss a player that is ‘box office’ like Hamer.
Agreed, he’s qualityHe’s a good player end of.
But we didn’t sign him for 3 million so people don’t want to hear it.
He does plenty going forward, especially for a holding midfielder. He set up Simms with great determination. It's not his fault Simms blasted it wide.Certainly had a good game today-fair play to him. Hope he proves me and lots of others wrong going forward.
That and the chance Haji couldn’t reach at the far post in the first half could have meant two assists for him today!He does plenty going forward, especially for a holding midfielder. He set up Simms with great determination. It's not his fault Simms blasted it wide.

Think you’re being generous there. Eccles was caught in 2 minds wheather to pass or shoot-he did neither.Agree on this, I was expexcting Wright to slide in, but he stood a bit flat footed which made it look a worse pass than it was.
Our best player again today. In a struggling team it is so impressive how well he has played this season.
Last season I said he was potentially better than Sheaf. I think it's time to drop the 'potentially'. That not a criticism of Sheaf, who I rate highly and who has been our second best player.
I know we'll continue to get the calls for Eccles to be dropped for Latibeaudiere and claims that Sakamoto has been better. That's the Sakamoto that can barely get a place in the team by the way.
Our problem area is not Eccles, Sheaf or even Kelly. It lies mainly with those ahead of them. We had three strikers today and all three missed good chances again. I can think of at least two each for Wright and Simms and one for Godden. I don't like picking on players but Simms has scored in one of his 17 appearances and the miss just before he was substituted was a very poor one.
I thought Bidwell was a relevation at left back, good quality game but Eccles was superb throughout and by far and away our man of the matchBidwell was our best player by some margin and if we’d stuck with him fron the start we would be in a better position
