I think we get unfairly labelled by the way, we are a very direct team no doubt, but most of that is from set pieces, Collin kicks the ball out of his hands very regularly but that's standard, there are very few teams at this level that pass the ball out short often, Luton did it against us most of the game, using Sheehan as a playmaker almost and Keith Curle does it with Carlisle.

Coventry's keeper was kicking the ball from the edge of his 18 yard box to the edge of our 18 yard box all game and they seem to think they play a slick passing game that anyone in League 2 should consider themselves lucky to be alive to witness. Once the ball from the keeper drops we pass it around, just not very well usually
I see where you are coming from...

In addition to Hewitt, I could be persuaded to retain O'Connor (and thereby gamble on his being fully recovered). However, the rest offer very little IMHO (and even less by way of consistency).

Personally, I don't mind the fact that we are very direct. However, as the last two games have shown, it would be nice to have the option (by which I mean "the players necessary") to play through midfield every once in a while (when the direct approach isn't working).

What we really need is the next Bishop, Davies, Draper, Ritchie, Judge, Jackson... I appreciate that securing such a player will be expensive, but that is all the more reason not to retain half of our existing squad.
