I'd like to see Goodwin swapping Kai and Middleton during games to keep defenders guessing. No idea why he never does this but Goodwin isn't very creative at the best of times.
Would I be right in saying that Middletons best goal for us was when he cut in from the RIGHT side v Alkmaar and pinged the goal in with his favoured left peg?
I've lost a bit of faith in JG around his ability to solve the final 3rd issue. He's very one dimensional.
We looked incapable of scoring for 80 minutes but when he put Meekison and Grieve in front of their defenders it changed, so why wait 80 minutes to see that?
Was saying the same thing about GM and KF during the match on Saturday. Strange why it doesn't get done during matches. 🤔
