We play better against teams that come at us. The next four games will either confirm that or prove that we are on a downward slide. Results at the Lane recently have been because the oppo. have shut up shop. We play a high intensity game and in recent weeks the players have been knackered with the volume of games. Thats why we needed the new recruits and probably needed more depth at the start of the season.

Agree we need to shoot more and move the ball quicker, its a standard paragraph in Deadbats reports these days.

We've played 10 league games since Coutts was injured and the midfield is not working at the same rate of intensity and speed of thought. I don't believe its entirely down to losing one man more we've got the wrong blend of players in there to continue to play in the same way. We either change the way we play or change the personnel. Bit of a conundrum for CW.

For me we have to give the new recruits a go straightaway. Wilson apart all the other three have been playing regularly and have been their previous clubs star performers. If Brooks comes back soon then that will be 5 new faces to pick from in key areas.
