I wouldn't like to be too negative and picky as we are only 2 games in but really frustrated me last night, we'll undoubtedly look back at a game(s) like this towards the end of the season when margins are so fine and two points would've meant a lot. Should be winning against a poor Alfreton for sure if we want to be anywhere near the play-offs.
Cannot get my head around why Tom Clare isn't even on the bench, let alone playing (unless he's not had the right attitude/not training well/carrying a slight knock). We were hoofing the ball for most of the game to a small, weak Jake Wright, absolutely pointless. (I know our goal did come from a hoof from Crook but still!) drives me mad.
Attacking play has been pretty poor in all honesty in these last two games, both of our goals have actually been lucky and due to mistakes from the opposition.
I would however say our defence looks very strong & am very pleased with Crook, a lot more relaxed than Willis! Whole back 4 looks quality, composed on the ball and great in the air & Whittle seems to be different class, been my MOTM both games.
But Hey-Ho, lets hope that this weekend off will do us good and give us two training sessions that allow us to work on attacking play and hoping to see Dom Knowles on Tuesday night, he might be abit better than Wright and Tuton!
Again, sorry for the negativity but i am just hoping so much that it's not going to be just one of those seasons again where we drop off and finish mid-table.
