I'll do my fan report tomorrow, it's not going to be pretty so if you're getting sick of me slagging off the support, maybe best not to even read it. On the actual football, I like everyone else, has opinions on which players I would select and which style of play I'd like us to adopt etc, but I don't for the most part think it's worth me voicing them because ultimately it's not like it's going to influence JDT's team selections.
One of the things that seems strange to everyone at the moment is the benching of a specialist RB/RWB in Brittain and instead using one of our most influential attackers in Hedges. This squad, although very talented is lacking a steely streak and that's showing up in the away games especially and any game we fall behind in.
Again for what's it's worth, for the immediate future in the away games I would like us to stick with a back 5, play 3 in the centre of the park - my 3 would be Morton, Travis and Wharton - and simply play 2 up front. No false 9, no wide left forward, wide right forward etc, just a simple 5-3-2 and let the wing backs offer the width. Strengthen up the middle of the park by getting an extra man in there and see if that helps us get more of a foot hold in games, in all honesty it can't be much worse than we've been in the majority of the away games this season.
I'm still convinced that this squad has the ability to get into the play offs this season, but this division isn't really one to play your way out of unless you're head and shoulders above the rest and we clearly aren't.
A bit more steel, whether that comes from signings in January or a formation change or whatever and we could still have a good season.
COYB.
