All the talk about formations, subs and the state of the pitch at York (which looked fine to me) leaves me cold. If we don't up our game on Friday, Redshaw, Ellison and co. will not be as inept in front of goal as York were. Leam has said he encourages the players to express themselves with confidence in footballing terms, but that was entirely lacking on Saturday. Panicky defending when under pressure and failure to keep possession in midfield resulted in wave after wave of York attacks which should have seen then 3 or 4 goals up at half time. Linganzi was sorely missed but surely we can at least manage a semblance of pass and move to give the man in possession an outlet and make progress upfield without the big heave ho? Passion we have in abundance but that's not going to be enough without a lot more quality this time. We are certainly capable of playing good enough football if we keep our heads.
