Ugly, defensive and very direct long ball under Butler? Who’da thunk it!!
Jokes aside our league performances have been very poor of late and we are hiding behind the guise of our league position, when in reality, we’ve had only a couple of convincing wins and undeservedly scraped a fair few results.
What’s most alarming is just our abysmal our passing is this season. The stuff of nightmares and genuinely wouldn’t look out of a place on a Sunday morning. Considering the football we were playing last season with 10/11 of our starting 11, how have we lost the ability to make simple passes? These are the same players that were dominating possession last season and were criticised for being too ‘tippy tappy’. Now they can’t ‘tip or tap’ to save their lives. We are struggling to string together 3 or 4 basic passes. What’s happened?
Have to agree we need another forward as Fishburn is clearly a work in progress, but a decent midfielder is also essential, as Butler seemingly doesn’t think Brogan or Rowley are up to it. We are desperate for someone with a bit of quality who can get the ball on the ground and get us playing football with some composure. Enough of lumping it forward and hoping Whitehall gets on the end of it. Ideally someone who can create and chip in with goals too as our current midfield are contributing next to nothing goal wise. I think Boyce has scored more so far this season than all our midfielders combined?
Changes needed pronto as Chester gaining momentum after a slow start and we are going the other way.
