Shocking display, but who was responsible for it. No doubt that was down to our manager. To use his own words, totally unacceptable. Dreadful team selection and a classical example of having players in the wrong roles. DA virtually all of the coaches for the teams playing us have realised clearly that when we play Ainley and Lowery in midfield it is the equivalent of a team playing without a midfield. Add our own disappearing magician George "Tommy" Cooper to that equasion and we have a no hope side.

Do not like to criticise young players but they should not be in the side. This is the fault of our management. The are clearly not physically strong enough and not mentally aware of the demands of professional football. This is not about fancy formations or tactics. This is completely about poor team selection.

For me the above mentioned players should be dropped. Cooper is without doubt a talented, skilfull player who is capable of progressing to to a top half Championship side, but to be honest currently that talent is wasted on him. The young man seems to have an attitude problem, or has not matured. Ainley has promise but has difficulty achieving a 20 minute stint, let alone a full game. He has to seriously increase his efforts. Currently at best he is a useful sub. I am aware that a lot of posters feel that Lowery is our next superstar. I do not subscribe to this. He is lacking any physical strength, in most game he seems to lack discipline, and appears to be totally unaware of what his duties as a team member are. In short he disrupts the team. I would suggest that the best for his future would be to send him out on loan for 3 month stints to non-leage sides.

In contrast I would like to praise one of our Academy graduates, Perry NG. Though he is playing out of position at RB the young man gives 100% every game. He has made a huge effort and has already proved he is physicall strong enough to cope with Leage2 football. Feel confident that he would be better suited to a defensive midfield role. Another big prospect I believe will be Sass Davis. Lovely balance and so confident on the ball.

We need to have a midfield that has strength and can compete. Based on this my midfield would be NG, Walker and Wintle.
