Said this on several threads, but if you have an inexperienced (or dodgy) keeper Then you need a commanding figure at CB.
If you have an inexperienced defence then you need a Murphy/Gilks style keeper.
Currently we have neither.
Also the midfield has a bit of a lucky-bag feel to it with no one jumping out as a sure starter.
I’m not saying we haven’t signed some decent young talent but it still doesn’t look like a balanced squad. With KvV out for a while and Clarke and McGahey not having kicked a competitive ball there’s not a great deal of experience in the backs or CMF.
Still two and a half weeks to get it right but this has more the feel of an U23 team rather than a senior squad as was born out this evening.
