I want to be on ScotchEgg's positivity bus, I really do, but I cant help but have a few concerns.
I think as a fanbase when a player goes and gets replaced we like to lead ourselves to believe we have definitely got a better player.
Elliott Lee, Barker, Shodipo were all very good players at this level. Whyte isn't necessarily improvement and perhaps his confidence has taken a knock since he left us to join the sheep botherers.
Id like to see more of Bodin.
Taylor's performances get a free pass from many because he occasionally gets stuck in, which is the minimum you need from a lone striker. His movement was sub-par yesterday. If he made more runs i think a player like Brannagan could find him. He seems to always want it on a plate at the moment.
Thorniley isn't necessarily as good as Atkinson.
We don't have a star centre back such as a Nelson, Atkinson or Dickie we have had in recent seasons.
We have a player who would be exciting to watch through the middle, but Karl refuses to do so even when taylor is badly out of sorts. Give him a chance Karl, for the love of God.
Positives:
CamBran was a class above yesterday. His tenaciousness and attitude it spot on. Was even shooting from range desperate to make something happen. We need more players like Cam, don't wait for something to happen - be the spark yourself.
Stevens - distribution has improved.
Sam Long to come back.
I don't necessarily think this is a better squad than last season and I'm really not sure we will make the play-offs. I'm not sure where the self-assuredness about our team from some of our fans come from.
