That was not a captains performance by Morrison, absolutely awful, his own performance and that of his organisation skills. 3 at the back doesn’t suit us. Midfield looked like a load of blokes that just met in the car park, Cafu had a poor first 45 mins but improved after the break, he was unlucky to be dismissed, however his style of play means that will happen a few times. Hugill needs to look in a mirror, if he thinks that is what is needed from a centre forward then god help us, Kelly caused them more issues than Hugill would have done if he was still playing. The lad from wolves was good and we were better second half, but that was the only highlights. The bench was very poor, this squad is six players away from not being beaten like that a lot. Hall was missed a lot as our set piece defending was terrible, what has the new coach been teaching them. Also why oh why do we kick every ball from the goalie long, numerous times today a simple pass to a defender was on, to play out from the back. We have to improve a lot and try to create something to score a goal from open play, we look shocking going forward today. 45 games to go but that squad is relegation and I think we all know that, three players will not be enough.
I agree with most of that,this was a very frustrating afternoon.Apart from Blackett,Fred and Victor nobody came out of this match with much credit.The four at the back gave us more stability in the second half and just before the shocking decision to send Kafu off, we were getting stronger.I cannot say any more on the numerous bad refereeing bad decions.MT has said he needs to sign more players and that is borne out by the weak bench we had today.The chairman needs to fast track these signings this coming week before our next match.That is a MUST.
