There’s no excuse - the transport links from the valleys are good and they have a population of 350000 people. Being the Capital city doesn’t seem to help!
It strikes me that something isn’t right and probably hasn’t been right for quite a while. Who went to Wembley to watch Martins’ Southampton? A player , dulurector or a member of the coaching staff?
A superior coach plays him there at international level and he excels there. Perhaps now is the time to bin Peart Harris to the bench and use Eom on the wing
He could easily play midfield - he’s far more suited there . He’s our best (I know it’s a rugby term but) “ball carrier”. That is when we look so much more dangerous when the ball is brought forward because we are not good at passing thr ball forward quickly enough.
When he carries the ball forward thr oppositions set defence which is expecting us to slow pass them into a state of zombiefication all of a sudden gets pull around all over the place with defenders coming out of position and leaving gaps. These gaps are perfect for Cullen to exploit and bring other players into dangerous positions where we can hurt the opposition.
It’s not rocket science and I’m at a loss to see why Williams is unable to see this or does see it but ignores the tactic. The big problem I suppose is who do you drop in midfield. Franco is our best midfielder, Cullen is playing like a perfect 10 so that only leaves one who to my (admittedly sometimes poor but I’m old) memory has never even been substituted let alone left out .
I think you might guess who I mean.
In this ideal scenario we would need a pacy right back both good defensively and a decent crosser of the ball. Something for the January transfer window maybe?
A lot of them were poor or anonymous for the first half at least. Frustrating watch again and Williams doing his future prospects any good with his subs again.
No you implied that he’s scored a goal so he won’t try for another 7 games. Nothing at all to do with football being a ninety minute game. You just wanted to slag him off
How do you feel about Williams not using all his subs when Leeds were running us ragged? And on that note are you satisfied with the general conditioning of the squad?
I thought Williams could have taken Allen of at half time as he was knackered and used all his subs - Leeds were coasting and they used all theirs.
