Leagues Best Squad

[Guest Harry Dolman]

Lets be honest we were all wrong. Look at the team last night:

Phillips - good shot stopper - poor on crosses

Orr - hardly in double figures of appearances & a novice right back.

Sankofa - on loan - decent but not a big ugly ball winner

Partridge - unbelievably inconsistent

Fortune - actually I quite like CF, but he/we can't find his best position - novice left back

Brown - hardly in double figures of appearances - not a left winger

Skuse - hardly in double figures of appearnces - doesn't dominate enough

Wilkshire - sublime/anonymous depending on his mood - usually the latter away from home

Cotterill - hardly in double figures of appearances, struggling to find his best position & lacks end product

Murray - form is on the up, but has struggled for confidence since returning.

Quinn - on loan - appears decent so far.

Does anyone really think the rest of league 1 is trembling at the prospect of facing that team ?? Yes we will be stronger when Heywood, Stewart & especially Brooker return - but it shows, when everyones fit we probably have a decent 1st 11 (but a very inexperienced midfield) but we have very little depth.

Too many people want to say "it Tinnions fault" or "Lansdowns to blame for appointing Tins/selling Lita" or even more bizzarely "Johnson out" - all we can ask for right now is progress & under GJ we are making progress, not as fast as some might like (in many ways his crime was winning the 1st 2 games & creating an air of expectancy) but still progress. What we are seeing is a typical pattern under a new manager - immediate good results (how many times have we lost to a team with a brand new manager... loads!!) but then slipping into some bad habits. I am pretty confident that GJ will turn us around, but sadly it aint going to be an overnight job.
