It was horrible watching him run the channels the other night, claim the ball, check back, and then what? Cross for himself? But that's the challenge we have with our current not fit for purpose midfield.
If Harrison & McNeil pushed on, rather than drifting inside every bloody time, that'd help too. Though I fear that's what they've been instructed. At least one of them needs releasing slightly from the shackles.
I still think there's a player in there, but, given he's on good money, he's injured more often than not, and he's only a year left, I'd be tempted to let him go. But if there's no money to replace him...
EFC are seeking to extend DCL's contract - that's from the horse's mouth
And we have a BIG decision to make on DCL this summer.
I've always defended him, and playing up-front in this system, he's on a hiding to nothing. That said, he looks a shadow of himself currently.
If he's only a year left in the summer, I think we need to cut our losses and move on.
If Luton went down, we could do worse than accept we are what we are and get that lad in. He'd at least upset the big boys.
in a Chris Wood, Ashley Barnes type of way
I mean Amadou Onana cant head a ball but now has 2 headed goals this season !
I'm sure he'd be atrocious for us, but he puts himself about and is an awkward galoot.
I remember years ago Eric Harrison (coach of the 'Class of 92') insisting that Everton should buy Kevin Francis, the 6'6 Stockport striker, purely for the above reasons.
which says where they are
although Doughty looks useful
A good defence & bad attack, is better than a good attack and a bad defence.
It's been painful seeing our fans eulogise Luton, purely because they're not us. They're fucking shite.
No other team is in particularly good form at all
If you look at the last 5 games, weve got 4 points with just 1 loss
Forest 4 points, 3 losses
Palace 4 points, 3 losses
Brentford 3 points, 4 losses
Bournemouth 3 points, 2 losses
Fulham 5 points, 2 losses
Draws arent great for pulling clear of the bottom, but, from a positivity view we've had some very hard games and still managed to pick up points
