I think we have 4 areas where we don’t have the right calibre of player cover.
We don’t have a goalkeeper suitable for the situation the team has been in for the last 4 seasons. It is OK for comfortably mid table sides to risk a young inexperienced keeper but not if you are continually at the bottom of the league.
We don’t have a credible centre half to fill in injuries or suspensions for the two we have – that assumes giving Taft the benefit of the doubt.
We have no forwards to cover Nuttall and Lavery. We also have to accept Lavery has done nothing since scoring a very good goal on his debut.
We have no wide players which means we rarely get decent supply to the front 2 and pretty much stops us playing 4-4-2 which at this level gives struggling sides the best chance of a clean sheet.
We have 3 left backs although in the cup game we decided to play neither of them in that position.
In midfield we have Butterfield supported by about 10 others none of whom have shown yet that they are good enough.
When Nuttall and Apter go in January I cannot see us getting another point let alone a win or a clean sheet.
