Broardbent
is a huge issue. He’s not good enough.
Gaz problem is there’s no body in our squad that’s better that’s down to the summer bringing in players big mistake

Westbrooke and close are both comfortably better than Broadbent

Westbrooke is, but how often is he fit?
I'd rather have George on the pitch than Close, at least he passes forward & actually plays in front of the defence.

And that is a damning statement for Broadbent as only Westbrooke for me works in our side.  Close should never have gotten a contract.  Broadbent has had a few good games but he's been poor recently and he's not proving strong enough.

My frustration is still up the top end. We aren't creating enough at all and I do feel that ushering Billy in to the team is harming us.  McCann has a lot of work to do.

Somewhat amazing that we're still in the promotion spots despite missing so many opportunities. If we were at the level we probably should be we would be half way to promotion comfortably by now.

This is maybe too simplistic but without being too crude, I thought the midfield was to stop other sides playing. We score goals by getting the ball up the pitch very quickly and wide, to either get behind or put balls into box. That was what I thought we were playing or seeking to play these days. If that is the set up then we shouldn't be asking players in midfield to do anything other than sticking the boot in and / or running through midfield to hit the box when we break quickly. If a midfielder has the ball for more than two touches then something has gone wrong in that set up.

Zain is fit and has been for quite a while now.

Where was Maxwell yesterday? Not fit? It was clear at Carlisle that he was playing but still not fully fit.

I never said he wasn't, my point is how many games over the season is he available? He'd be in the eleven every week for me.

It looked bad yesterday, but in the highlights the fog seemed horrendous, especially for the 2nd goal...

  Yes the fog was bad, it covered up a lot on the far side second half.
