Player Ratings vs Wimbledon

[TheProphet]

For me Jones is still a shadow of the player from last season and wonder if some of the higher ratings he is getting is due to rose tinted glasses. He looks overweight, not fit and his impact in the game is massively limited to trying to cut inside every time and whip a cross in.
That isn't helped by playing on the right-hand side, but the touches he had in the game were so few, he was a passenger for a lot of it.

Something I haven't seen mentioned in this thread is the obvious lack of leadership and team spirit. There isn't that togetherness that there has been over the last few seasons, but what really stood out for me, was the red card incident. Jatta lost his head and was trying to start fights and no-one, especially the captain was anywhere to be seen to calm him down and get him off the pitch.

Palmer might be a good player, but a captain and corner taker he is not.

I might not like the dark arts that Wimbledon used to great effect against us, but would I care if it helped us get over the line and into league one? Absolutely not. We are too soft and easy to play against, we have no grit or bite. We massively miss someone of the ilk of Jim O'Brien.

Exactly what I've been saying for a while.

But we seem happy to be honourable losers rather than ugly winners.

That sums us up in our general play as well, we would rather play 'pretty' football all the time, regardless of the score, opposition, pitch quality and weather conditions.

At home against Salford showed we had no plan B in terms of formation, or tactics.

Heard an interview on R5 at the weekend with the manager of Spennymoor Town, one Graeme Lee. We should kidnap, register, put him on a monkey gland drip, and pick him as captain for Saturday
