No more excuses now Neil. We all knew what worked now you’ve seen it for yourself if you go back to 5 at the back 1 up front bollocks then I’m afraid you’ve got to go.
442 and have a go and we scored from open play. Who’d have thought.
On the good side all of the defenders look so much more comfortable playing in a 4 and Millen looked a different player with a game and some more fitness.
Jarvis looks capable of leading the line and being reasonably effective when given a partner.
O’Malley offers so much with his delivery and I’ve seen nothing from Bunn or Green this season so I’d be playing him and Thompson on the left in a 442. And that allows you your 5th defender to make Cox feel more comfortable.
On the negative side we are still lacking a leader in CM to help us see a game out. Awful decision making from Beestin for the first goal and poor defending from Hippolyte for the 2nd.
We still lack depth and looked much more fragile when O’Neill and Rose came on but that was possibly down to Carlisle stepping up after pulling one back. O’Neill looks very weak though and wasn’t helping relieve pressure like Jarvis.
You’d have taken a point before hand but to lose 2 like that is poor. We need to manage games much better.
