So where were we exploited? Runners from midfield?
First goal, Carey huge error left the defence no chance. Second goal I thought Akinfenwa tripped Bradley, leaving him in acres of space. Third goal, not sure who was at fault but Weston had too much space to shoot and that's probably the responsibility of a midfielder to be tighter in that area. Anyway...
Disappointing to drop points in that manner, but actually, I thought we played some of the best football we've played in months.
McCormick - 6
Miller - 5
Bradley - 7
Songo'o - 6
Threlkeld - 7
Fox - 6
Smith - 6
Carey - 5
Jervis - 9.
Slew - 8
Garita - 7
If Garita's first touch was better, he'd be a fantastic player. In a game where Carey couldn't get influence, it required others to step up and the front 3 did. Thought that was Jervis' best game for ages, likewise Slew.
With January looming, priority needs to be central midfield. Smith is such a nothing player, an improvement on Simpson from last year, but not by much. Also think Fox has dipped in form since Songo'o was moved. After that, needs to be right back, because Gary Miller is pretty pants, especially in the final third.
Threlkeld is great. The only thing that annoys me about him is that I want him to play left back, right back and central midfield and that's just not possible. Although he'd make a damn good go at it if you asked him too.
Disappointed, but not deflated. Better than the usual results vs Wycombe at HP! Need to beat Crawley now.
