They have to be given a run of games. 1 is no good & jumping down their throats because they didn't perform miracles at the drop of a hat. Never been a big fan of Wootton, does ok but game/style is limited unless that is down to Ardley & IB tactics

I agree IP.

Someone posted that we didn’t cross enough yesterday for Wootton. There were a few crosses in the first half hour and he was nowhere near.
His movement was nonexistent to the extent I could have marked him.

A lack of crosses appear to be a mark of IB's tactics recently, perhaps it's due to having Wooton as the only forward likely to do anything with them. Or maybe he has more confidence in Roberts' and Rueben's abilities to thread through the middle having received the ball on the floor from midfield. Either way it doesn't seem to take long before a competent enemy manager adjusts his midfield and we slow down our approach. A lack of variation all over the field is apparent and we stumble against the more mobile teams.
