    Main thing that everyone can take away from the game is how lopsided we are attacking wise. Everything goes down the right and nothing down the left. Definsively, all the opposition has to do is stop Burns and we appear clueless

    That’s the kind of thing that bothers me for next season. Something that we could have addressed and is still exactly the same as a few months ago.

    We are so ineffective in attacking areas that our main threat came from Woolfy!

    I think the reason it wasn’t addressed in January is due to the inflated market at that time. I believe that Kmc knows the players he wants to bring in and who he wants to get rid of. Personally, I think Kyle Edwards is a possibility for the position but we definitely need 1 more there. Need work on set pieces as well (might be wrong but don’t think we’ve scored from a free kick / corner since Kmc arrived)

    I for one am not suggesting there should he any pressure on McKenna but for all the progress there has been mistakes made this season. McKenna now has a worse points per game record in his last 14 games than Cooks last 14 games and we still have the same problems, only area we have improved in my eyes over the course of the season is defensively and given the fact we were a new team there's an argument that would've improved anyway.

    For me many of the weaknesses in the team from Paul Cook's time still exist today. If the opposition cut the threat out from Burns or he had an average game we barely create anything. The lone striker looks isolated and can't hold the ball up. We don't create enough or consistently put pressure on the opposition box. There's often too much difference between the deep midfielders, the no 10s and the striker.

    Norwood missed a sitter today but unless we get a world class striker missing chances even for very good strikers is common place. For me the bigger areas of concern is the supply line and the fact we actually have some serious fire power but have a terrible goal scoring record, yes we might be able to get better players next season but given the players we do have we should've scored alot more goals.
