    Too Lightweight?

    I've mentioned the fact that made his first tactical error's last night on another thread.

    However I wanted too mention the other problem/difference between the two sides. Physical presence.

    We were out paced and out fought all over the park. They looked much stronger and mobile than us.

    Do we lack the powerful athletic type of players that the top teams have?

    I don't want a team of big cloggers, but would the addition of a one or two influential strongmen be beneficial as we looked severely lacking in that side of the game last night.

    Same problem we had for years which is why we struggle against the fester and Blackburn types. Ive said it over and over again.

    I think with all the abuse that Rattea receives (most of it from his own making and warranted) he has the right to gloat a bit, not that I think that post is him gloating.

    In midfield we are, really need an enforcer who can break up play and defend, which Eustace can, but clearly not able to playe very game.
