You look back at players like Adel, Buzz, even Faurlin and Freeman and these were all players that had that bit of magic or a pass that seemed two passes ahead as a playmaker and we really are lacking. You look at a player like Bannan at Sheff Weds and you wonder just how much better we would be with a player of that vision in out team week in week out.
It comes to something when Jimmy, Cook and Nardi are your front 3.
A friend of mine was up there and just said our ability to give the ball away when actually breaking away and put ourselves back into trouble was something to behold tonight.
Need to have a real go against Leeds and then try and recharge for the last set of games. 9 to go, we probably need to win 3. What a weird season to even be saying that after surging up the table. A team defeated by not having a single striker actually fit for weeks on end and 2 main midfielders out. Have to address the striker thing at the end of the season. In the meantime we simply have to grind out some points with some of the teams below us starting to pick up a few wins. 16th place is once again in our sights. I feel an open top bus parade on its way.
At the moment it feels like we are pretty comfortable protecting a one goal defeat but let's hope we do have some kind of forward line available this evening. I'd take a point.
Blimey if that is a penalty you should be giving 3 or 4 a game. He runs across Colback. Someone dragging a player to the ground is a foul. Someone running across your legs, whose not even part of the passage of play on an unintentional collision is stretching the fabric. I think I would have said the same had it been a penalty to us. I think, as much as I hate it, that VAR would have seen that as a clear and obvious error. Difficult to know if the Furlong elbow was intentional on a TV replay? We really should have got a point out of this.
When your one rookie striker isn't actually fit what do you do? Has to be the focus next season to have strikers that can stay fit for more than 4 games in a row.
When a rookie striker is your only fit striker you're in trouble. Having Frey, Kolli and Cesar all out a lot of the time really has left us unbelievably thin and we were thin to start with realistically. Has to be a top priority in the summer, getting a genuine striker with some experience at this level.
I think everyone needs to remember we had one junior striker available today. It really is the one huge thing to address at the end of the season. Strikers that can keep fit for more than 4 matches and a few with experience.
