Of course playing well and losing gets you nothing, but we battered Blackpool and most were saying last week that we only needed a proven striker to be a great side. We added Taylor and are apparently now rubbish!
The point being that we've had some good performances this season, including a good 30 odd minutes today and a spell against Burton when we looked like we'd take them apart. None of that distracts from the fact that we've won the last 3 or conceded 7 in our last 2 games, but those show that now is not the time to write this season off.
Let’s be honest with ourselves. It was an okay performance at Sunderland, but not great. Peterborough at home was great in the first half, but not so great in the second. Okish against Peterborough in the cup, but lucky to win, and good against Burton for 35mins, but poor after that. Didn’t go to Blackpool, but by all accounts we battered them.
Today was ok/good first 30mins, but again was fairly average after that.
I said we should have started Mackie and Mous in the middle (Hanson just hasn’t got a football brain), but you make some kind of comment re; well I’m glad KR is picking the team and not those on here, well, well..
Taylor hadn’t played enough games, so after Tuesday we needed to start with Mackie. It wound have worked for so many reasons e.g. quell their fans, Taylor would have added a bit more zest to the team on 65-70mins, reduce risk of injury e.g. not match fit yet etc etc.
We have no real outlet players with pace, but we’re letting one of our fittest, mobile, young and passionate players go out on loan, really.
We’ve got to change this rot now before it becomes the norm.
