The double pivot not working out, need better legs in the midfield. Doc seemed to run away from whoever had the ball, can't give them that kind of space, they have two centre mids with wicked long range shots.
Seeing the down side of Tom in midfield unfortunately they’ve been playing this way for years haven’t they and Tom struggles with it moncur as I said pre game isn’t a battler he’s a flair player So were up against it Me I drop hudd into a back three And get some legs in the middle and hook magennis Tom should be firing fifty yard balls into the channels Wilks n klp to run onto
Do we have any fans there, not heard a peep from them but then again they’ve had nothing to shout about
I was surprised to see Huddlestone starting alongside Docherty. If it's still **** in the first 10 minutes of the second half, drag Moncur off and stick M. Smith alongside Huddlestone and push Docherty further forward. Moncur and Huddlestone are both luxury players, not grafters. Can't have both of them cause their lads are passing it around like a training exercise.
Gave them far too much space in and around centre circle first 20 minutes. They were playing through the middle with ease. But to be fair, McCann tightened it up after that (or maybe bollocked Magennis, Moncur and Wilks for not tracking back / pressing). Moncur and Wilks look rusty and Doc not really at it so far today. Could still go either way though.
There was a quick shot of them. Not many there but with a solid line of stewards in front of them. Different to the MKM where all the stewards attention is directed towards the home fans whilst away fans are left alone.
70-30 possession to them 11 shots to our 0 8 key passes to our 0 To get dominated like that by a team who aren't even that good is piss-poor.
Christ showing the highlights now We got well hammered But it’s still nil nil Come on boys let’s do these
If we keep going like that, it'll only end one way and that's with Swansea panning us. It would be nice to drop to a 4-4-2 and fill that midfield, but, you know. We won't.
I reckon we are mirroring Ali's performance against Foreman .. let them punch themselves out then go in for the kill ! .... nah who am I kidding !!!!
We've yet to see if Honeyman can really cut it at Championship level in terms of ability, but I've no doubt if he was playing today instead of Moncur, they wouldn't be running rings around us as bad as this.
