Great to see Ross back 😊 class striker. And great we were able to rest our top players - Downes, KWP and Arma at key times 😊 McCarthy had a good game too, really impressed with his distribution today.
Great performance today and to go into the playoffs with a win is just what we needed 😊 Game plan executed perfectly by RM. Really liked the 5-3-2 formation, suited us. Onwards and upwards 😊
Very dissappointing again. I said it after Tuesday but we have to get back to basics and quickly. Getting the ball forward quicker is one thing that has to improve. It felt like too many changes were made today and it affected our rhythm. McCarthy made several outstanding saves today, he played very well. Both Fraser and Edozie looked promising and put in several good crosses but we had noone looking to get on the end of them. Really frustrating today.
As Jo Tessem said on Solent last night we simply have to get back to basics. That starts by having a solid base at the back. Since February we have conceded far too many goals, I think we've only kept three clean sheets since then. One thing that seriously has to improve is stopping crosses coming into our own box. We've conceded far too many from this happening recently.
We missed Downes massively tonight. Far too open in the midfield. Too many times we were exposed. Stuart Armstrong aswell, we had no drive which he provides in abundance.
