    Why would they cross the ball into the box when we don't have someone that can exploit it. ML is not that sort of player. Get a player on that can exploit it and then you can cross the ball

    Jones has got the majority of his assists from crosses. Langstaff has got the majority of his goals from getting on the end of crosses or picking up scraps after a cross.

    Have only seen the highlights, but it looked like Nemane knocked in a few decent crosses

    Those highlights sum up our current problems in a nutshell. We put in some dangerous crosses that they defended really well, they put in a long throw and a floated corner that we defended abysmally. We are far too easy to score against.

    Nemane should be on the halfway line and not marking one of the tallest players on the pitch...

    What? Were you asleep for the last 18 months? Macauley Langstaff is exactly that type of player, he thrives on crosses into the box.

    Not the hopeful high ball from 30 yards out that we struggle to defend, but put a ball from the byline into the six yard box and he'll get on the end of more than his fair share.

    Plus the number of headers Crowley one of the smallest players on the pitch has scored from crosses. We have plenty of players to get on the end of a well aimed cross. Jones is now getting double marked and forcing him to rush the cross so Langstaff isn't quite where he needs to be.

    The finger is pointing at Montague but he was appointed by the brothers and is probably having to work to their plan / budget.
    As has been pointed out on other threads, the recruitment model hasn't been great this season and certainly not up to scratch when it comes to goalkeepers and defenders.
    Whatever we may think of him we must not forget that LW walked out on us half way through the season. He might not have been able to turn things fully around with the c**p defence but he did let us down.

    Overall a better performance than Sutton and didn't deserve to lose. I will give them a 5.
    Yes but they can't do much about changing the defenders at the moment but they can rectify the manager situation.
