From the off Hednesford looked more eager to win every ball and make every tackle count. The only
positive from today's game is that we weren't beaten by any more goals. There's some real worrying signs about this squad.
1. We play long balls to small players. It makes the oppositions life so easy, they keep retrieving the ball off us and immediately have the advantage.
2. There's gaping holes in midfield and defence, the team bus could pass through without an eyelid being batted. Most of the time players are out of position and not even picking up their man.
3. Playing football backwards and sidewards only works if you have a team which has a first rate passing ability. Naturally you'd assume players would pass and go, moving into supporting positions.
4. Very few players are willing to close down and hassle the opposition when they've got the ball, let alone put a meaningful tackle in.
5. When we loose the ball, we can't even win 2nd or 3rd balls. The majority of the time we're outmuscled or there's a lack of effort to win it.
But naturally as a nobhead on the terrace I know fack all. It's about time you prove to us this squad is equally as capable as last seasons because I simply don't see any evidence for this claim. Today's performance reminded me of the Jason Lee, Drury era. Lack of effort and togetherness as a team. We're so negative even at home now. Blame the fans, blame the players, but take a look at yourself Den, you've put this squad together and adopted this anti football style. It's boring the tits off me.
