Matt Harrold getting a standing ovation at Roots Hall was something i never thought i'd witness and after getting sent off too!!
If this lad is prepared to put that much effort into a game and combined with that level of skill maybe we ought to be using him a bit better than we do.
People criticise Maher saying he passes sideways too often but there's no denying the wingers see plenty of the ball.
Now here's the crux of this thread,wingers.
For all the huff and puff yesterday what exactly did they create for the strikers?
Did they get round the back of Yeovil and whip crosses in for Harrold?
Did Francis have the beating of the full-back or Gower for that matter?
Frankly,our wing play has been rubbish for too long and it's no wonder someone like Harrold never gets on the end of anything,because nothing comes into the box all too often for him to attack.
We play great possesion football but it goes side to side too much.
It's so important for Macca or Bailey to push on when we play like this because that's the only way we stretch defenders.
Tilson has it bang on with bringing in Scannel,a tricky winger that likes to beat his man is just what we need.
Strikers,yeah great but so inneffective without the right service.
We also need a centre-back desperately that can read the game better than what we have.When the ball gets played into the box,Clarkey ball watches terribly and Barrett is no better.This is a massive issue that needs to be addressed,the last time they kept a clean sheet i believe Richards was playing and that was a while ago for sure.
