Feeling dejected, despondent and downright disappointed after getting home after the game. Didn’t boo at the end as some did and still applauded the players.
The formation of wingbacks does not work. End of. Hamilton cannot defend and not play on the right. The fluidity that wing backs should bring was missing today. How often was the ball belted long and high. How often were Preston, Bennet, Pearce, Hamilton and the ever impressive Bishop looking for an outlet that was not there.
This formation has been tried and tried again to little or no avail. Yes it worked in pre-season but now the real football has a need to be played other sides have worked us out. They close us down quickly knowing we don’t pass it like we ought.
The lack of speed and fluidity of movement results in a inert final third of the pitch.
I don’t want Dave’s head on a plate as some would like but I hope that change comes quickly as after 8 games I would rather have hoped that we would have had the pattern of play that promised so much down to a T now.
