Adam Barrett was there tonight, watching from the posh seats.
Doing his homework, maybe....

Why would anyone want Barrett to come in now or in the summer? Not many senior players will be left and it will require nearly a whole new squad to be assembled. Barrett neither has the experience or contacts to be able to build a whole new squad of players for League 2. If we had a half decent squad of players that just needed a kick up the arse I could understand why people think Barrett would be the answer, but that isn’t the situation we’re in.
I’m almost certain that Barrett will manage us at some point in the future. But for both his and our sake let’s make sure it’s not now. The right time will come but it isn’t now or in the summer.
At least his managerial career wouldn’t be ruined like it would if we got him in now.Best to wait till we’re in the Essex Senior League?

It's bizarre to me that people are calling Sol tactically inept when the vast majority of the team are young players, a lot of which had never played a match of senior football until this season.
The fact that the teams we've put out recently have even been remotely competitive is testament to the solid structure and system that Sol has put together. Not to mention how difficult it is to even have any structure at all with a team that seems to lose players on a weekly basis and is full of kids.
There's a lot more to tactics than playing 2 up top and 'going for it' and in my opinion at least Sol has been doing a decent job in pretty much unworkable circumstances.

There's only one person you can really be asking questions of right now and it's not Sol Campbell.
