Martin Ling isn’t to blame . The blame lays squarely on the shoulders of Kenny and our misfiring players

We still have to play those teams below us . On current form any of them beat us .We can’t even score a goal.

Just look at that group of 16 players.

Surely everyone knew we were going to lose tonight with that line up? It’s just not good enough for this level. There’s no creativity in there whatsoever. We’re not going to make chances, we’re not going to score goals, we’re not going to pick up points. It doesn’t matter who the manager is, no one is going to get anything out of that side. And it’s not as if there are any obvious changes you can make to the starting 11.

The question to ask is how did we get to this position.

It would eradicate any ML comments in the transfer committee thus rationalise the logic in the players signed
Ling has been responsible for assembling this squad.

While the squad isn't great, there were at least some options to address the creativity issue open to us.

We was crying out for some creativity in central midfield to be brought in during the January transfer window. Nobody of that ilk was brought in. Now we’re paying for it. I still can’t believe we didn’t sign anybody like that.

But we didn't have that creativity in the middle when we were doing well and scoring lots of goals either.

That’s a cold hard fact that would get virtually every manager the sack.

We had it on the right with James and Archibald on the left.Also Craig Clay working his socks off in the middle. Take James and Clay out of the team and we’ve fallen apart

Fact is though we did create chances tonight but our strikers have totally lost their confidence
Sotoriou squandered two or three in the first half alone

We missed at least six good chances tonight. That’s the issue. Creativity isn’t.

Moss isn’t up to it. Khan isn’t a winger. Smith has been under par for a while. The only one I’d possibly agree with is Wood but he’s not a wing back. The idea with the 3 at the back is it allows Archibald and Khan to get forward and support the from 4 players, making us more creative.

Either way, we’re just pissing around at the edges. Our recruitment has been woeful this January, that’s the issue. And I blame Ling for that.
