At LM he may have the odd dribble and flashes of skill but to get the best of him you need to stick him up front.
He is just wasted out wide. Imagine the pace of Reid and Banton against cumbersome lower league 2 defenders.
I saw it against (albeit only a tiny bit in 2nd half) Exeter and then against Stevenage that when we play 1 up top Reid is far too isolated. Tyler was too slow in support and in fact most of the team were. Anything that Reid flicked on or it bounced off him would go to a Stevenage player. I like the system but if you players cant get up and down all match there is no point playing it.
I fear for tomorrow because we will probably play one up top again and its a reason why more physical, robust team shut us out as once you deal with Reid the ball wont stick.
Banton to me is lacking a self belief at present. I don't know why because he proves he can beat a man. His final ball can be woeful but that to me is only another reason to put Banton down the middle. If we had runners like Norris who could support the lone forward I would say play one up front but we lack mobility in the middle of the park. I don't see Cox or Norburn as runners.
I think we keep going with one upfront we could find frustration in the lack of pocession we will have in games and certainly the lack of chances we will create.
