Thankfully had a good nights sleep despite yesterdays "performance" the nightmares didnt keep me awake.
And yet in the morning it still looks as bad. Is this a knee jerk after losing to non league, part timers? Possibly , but only in part, this was the same clueless performance both tactically and fitness wise we ahve had to endure for too long.
We have a lot of small "wingers" with no real pace, those same players are over run in midfield as there is no muscle or height. Lowry, I hear you cry, but he doesnt really look fit and for all the physical presence he should bring he doesnt.
Tactically if you play 2 wingers and a tall front man you expect to see the wing men looking to get to the byline, but they dont and they dont with such regularity that it must be part of a plan.
We are seeing another season of the ball being played on the ground but only amongst, for the most part, the keeper and back four, the bit where it goes to midfield and then a defence splitting pass we are still waiting for.
Hotlips clearly deserved to get sent off with that first tackle. Theres often a fine line between technique and petulence, yesterday was the latter and its not isolated. But even so we should have had enough and the sad truth is we didnt.
And here is the point, Dorchester deserved to win,it was no fluke. They played simple football, 2 wingers, that kept us occupied, who were under orders to get to the byline and cross. And they did. They had a tall dominating centre half who won everything except strangely, man of the match. So after a massive summer rebuild we stil have no height and muscle or creativity in midfield, no regular goal scorer and no pace on the flanks. Or Plan B
In the League we are 18th and deserve to be.
We are out of the Cup and deserve to be.
I think a change is needed.
