We have the smallest midfield in the league, when we play Reeves, Doyle & Griffiths, and we’ve been playing DKE & Chicksen as the wing backs, again, not much physical presence there!
We also have a reserve goalkeeper who lacks height and can’t command his box. Hence, we’ve had to sign a replacement quickly.
The height and physical presence issue is something we desperately need to address for next season!
