It was not just the striker though as some say Armstrong did not impress but his service was dire. Our midfield is too slow ( Mowatt and JM ) and lacks creativity. The midfield is or should be the engine. The defending when Palmer went was dire - this was a combination of missing a first class keeper and perhaps Palmer helping to bail out poor players like Bartley, Holgate and Furlong with his confidence.

I have no doubt Armstrong will impress again this coming season because he will get the service and have better players around him.

For me our biggest problem is the engine which is the midfield where there?s no pace or creativity. Remember the midfield should protect the defence and feed the forwards. Mulumbu - Yacob - Pereira - Krov so say no more!

CC did a great job but believe he couldn?t do any more with average players so the style of play whilst boring perhaps now understandable. I expected more of Mowbray but again whilst there were strange decisions it came back to the players.

I am happy with Mason being young and ambitious but again - it comes back to the players and an overhaul required. Nobody can convince me Bartley - Furlong - Griffiths - Wallace - Mowatt and JM are what?s needed to be a top side in the division. Mid table perhaps!
