Well that was bloody awful. Dull slow play, negative tactics, inept and non committed defending, you can go on and on. Not a team I would have selected and not the changes I would have made either.
What a miserable start to the new year
All the best!!!!
Substituting Gibson for the useless Windass????
Gibson wasn’t playing badly either.
Roberts was totally goosed again so should have been a straight swap for McMannaman but oh no let’s just make him labour on for 45 mins FFS!! Felt sorry for him. Evans stunk and is so negative. Grigg would have had to come on for Massey. Totally toothless and outclassed by a side playing with two strikers. How they do that I just don’t know.[/quote]Windass has shown he can be a very useful player. But he needs to be playing in the No.10 position feeding Grigg, and with support from a pacey pair of wingers. Basically set-up how we started the season. Injuries have hurt but the killer has been the defensive play and selections. We showed against West Brom and Derby what we can do when we go all out.
I don’t understand why Cook has done a complete 180 on how we played at the start of the season. It’s like he was spooked by those 3-2 games (for and against) and has killed our attacking game to shore up the defence. The lack of goals is the real killer. When playing better quality opposition they’re always likely to get one, if not two.
