A good debate on football, makes a welcome change from catering!
Well done to all taking part.
Clunan is not the problem for me, he is often alone in central midfield and when I look for an outlet when he is on the ball, I can’t see a forward one. Hence the far too regular passback.
It’s the structure again, with four midfielders Clunan would/should have two/three midfield outlets and dare I suggest an option to play forward balls into the channels.
Fitzsimmons is a first class keeper, all four centre halves are good and I would be happy with any of the four in any combination of two, with Barrows and Denton as fullbacks.
Brogan does look good but he tends to play alongside Clunan and fills the gaps created by Beestin and Scales, the latter was a revelation last season with his energy and running, because of the deficiency in midfield numbers, he has to do far too much work and I don’t think he knows where he needs to do that work.
Whitehall is a 20+ season striker and worth his weight in gold, when we feed him and he is in work mode, but he needs a foil alongside him.
Roberts is pure class with a footballers brain and I’d be happy with him upfront or wide right.
It’s great having all these opinions though cos there is only one that counts!!!!!
