Agree IA. Bennett won his fair share of headers yesterday and put 3 or 4 of them into good areas. If Elliott and Wilson had been switched on chances would have resulted.
Biggest problem this team has is that none of our forwards look like they can score 20 goals a season from open play. Dean has the team favouring a pass back to the halfway line rather than hitting a hopeful cross. Not necessarily disagreeing with that tactic but for it to work we need the crosses to be high quality when they do come in. Neither Elliott or Wilson cross the ball well and Ogle/Denton/Kelly don’t either.
Butterfield can deliver but is rarely in a crossing position in open play. We are comfortably the best football team in this league (based on the teams we have played so far) but we create a low number pf chances relative to the football we play.
Fine if you have a Sharpe or Hooper up front but a problem if you don’t.
Roberts might have the quality to make the difference if an when he finally plays but until then I would prefer getting the ball into the box more quickly and more often.
Then we might see what Whitehall, Bennett and Elliott can do.
