WG if you are trying to tell me that you think we’re a better football team without Ogle, Butterfield, Elliott and DSF you must have been hitting the hard stuff again.
Regarding the departing players.. Ogle was good, not great. Elliot didn’t feature all that often. Sembie Ferris only contributed towards the back end of the season when coming back from his loan and then you have your hero Butterfield, who was way less effective towards the 2nd half of last season.
We failed to gain promotion last season, we at times lacked fight and energy. I think we only came back from a losing position twice all last season.
If last seasons team was that good, why were we often out run and out fought by part time players with much less ability ?
Ok being technically fantastic, but our team last season lacked energy and running power. The balance between technical ability and energy and athleticism needed to be addressed from last season.
Will be fully addressed this coming season ?. We will have to see, but Butler’s going the right way about it during pre season training
You confuse me iron414 because you keep harping on about last seasons players but as I said above, it wasn’t right last season. How can you keep banging on about last season’s team when we came back from a losing position twice and we kept being out worked by part time players ?
Am I missing something here ?
