Our midfield

Post by Highwood Man »

Today it comprised of Pratley, Coleman and Kyprianou. That's a midfield trio to spark fear into the hearts of, well, absolutely nobody really. A guy just short of his 37th birthday, another guy who we signed from a team that's second bottom of the Conference and a guy that's had loads of chances at the club and just doesn't look good enough.

But who else is there? Clay - out for the season. Brown - can't get in ahead of those three. Khan - looks like he could be decent in midfield but has to play right back because we didn't sign a proper right back in the window. And then we've got Reilly and Smyth, two senior players who, as we are about to enter the month of March, have not started and finished a single league game between them all season.

It really is an omnishambles.

I'm guessing they thought that Reilly would have been back and established in the team by, well, at least a month ago. Obviously not been the case, but it's not like our midfield was great when we were doing well either.

Of the ones available to play choose from:

1 x 37 year old
4 x lightweight inexperienced U23s
1 x crock

If a new manager can come in and make an effective unit out of that give him a 4 year contract as he'll be a bloody genius

No mention of where Reilly was today, surely if not injured had to be a better option on the bench than Brown?

Who is in charge of signing players for this club? Because whoever it is has failed spectacularly.

This squad, minus a few, is absolute dog sh*t.
