I like our new Boss but was a bit disapointed that we didnt adapt ,it wasnt in my oppinion down to the players on the pitch but what they were being asked what to do , be honest how many of you that were there though at half time given what we had acheived in the first half thought that we would win by possibly another 2 or 3 goals, give full credit to them they changed we didnt.

A little worried, no very worried, about our full back cover. White out so in comes an 18 yr old, untried young man, not knocking him, talk sbout throwing someone in at the deep end?
Personally, I think we need someone on loan and give our young players experience via the subs bench. IMO.

But Gibbens did well and wasn't the problem, no left back and them targeting that space with arms folded manager not addressing it was the problem.

As I've mentioned on another thread; our system is very easy to nullify - the Macc manager noticed that we were going down the left at will in the first half so he changed his formation so that Benning was pushed back further, and then we had no idea what to do about it - it was exactly the same thing as the Tranmere manager did on Tuesday night, which resulted in Benning having to defend more and being exposed more, and then being taken off because he was being skinned. If the opposition play 5 across the middle and one up front against us then we haven't a clue because our wing backs have to spend more time defending and our 3 centre backs are falling over each other to mark one forward. And also to be fair to the midfield, Davies and Walker hardly held on to a ball all game. Essentially in our system, if Benning and Hamilton have good games then we win, if they don't then we don't.

According to pre season tests CJ is quicker than White.
