Unless it’s Hayes and Hooper or Sharpe and Keogh of course.
Midfield dominated most games pre Christmas but were often grafting to stay in it afterwards. Ewing lost form and Westbrooke lost a bit of interest. Rowley never got a rest and almost burnt out.
I have a perception based only on what I have seen every week for 2 seasons that we spent more coaching time and energy working on nullifying the opposition than we do on creating goalscoring opportunities.
Relying on your creative players to magic up chances off the cuff is a risky tactic when you only have 2 or 3 creative players.
Even more risky when the most creative of those leaves the building.
