I think the idea of Ainley at wb was to keep Leigh occupied but it didn't work. Bringing Ramsay on was a great idea. Ainley frustrates me as he is probably one of the best footballers in the club but where do you play him? I think he is a No.10 but we haven't got the players to play that system.
The 3 cbs were fine most of the time. Lowery great again (give him whatever he wants to stay here) Even Wartman appreciates him now. ;o)
I said just over a year ago that MM is not good enough. He is too slow in starting, picks up speed but by then that is too late, we need a forward that is quick over 5 to 10 yards.
I forgot that Finney was playing till they took him off. Murphy was cajoling the players all match and Porter was good, oh I wish he was 10 years younger.
I did say at the start of the season that I would be happy to finish 5th from the bottom as it is second season syndrome and we lost a lot of quality players.
Ainley can’t defend so should not be playing at RWB I think defensively we will be OK just get rid of Daniels, Thomas and Macfazdean. We don’t have good enough midfielders to play a 3 so should abandon the 5-3-2 formation until we do have. Gomes was clearly a panic recruitment because he is beyond useless and I would personally pay him to get on his bike. Finney should be released could not see a pass if it came with flashing lights. Bennett I would not have him back 1 trick show pony. Lundstrum also should be released offers nothing. Another point on Ainley is he is slower than I thought he was. If Porter was 10 years younger we could not afford him. Mandron and Kashkett I would be happy to see both go as latter is slow and off the pace, Kashkett is just a wind up toy charges around until he runs out puff.

So the January transfer window should and could be busy.
