I don't agree on the comments about Chambers had his best game for a while doing the dirty stuff no one mentions, breaking up play and getting aroudn the park
Paterson is the flair player we need to keep in the team you need to give him the confidence to do his stuff
Jarvis who is the new boo boy which is embarrasing is improving with each game, as I have said before after two years of hardly any football he is getting fitter and works hard, yes in the air he is poor but on the ground he has quality
The defence were solid and Manny had his best game for a while definately the Butts role and his header off the line with him poleaxed in the net was top drawer defending.
I would like to see Hurst moved inside and Peterlin bought in, maybe 4-5-1 with Grigg up top
I do agree with most of what you've just posted, Mal. The problem is, the things we're doing well aren't the things that win football matches.
Chambers is fine at the scrappy side of the game, but due to the fact that we don't pair him with anyone creative, he finds himself struggling in an attempt to be more of an all-rounder.
Like him or not, Jarvis can hold the ball up and did so to good effect for the first half an hour on Saturday. He can't do that if we punt 60 yard balls at him though.
And Manny is fine when we're defending with our backs to the wall, but any posession usually breaks down when we give him the ball and he hoofs it.
Yes, we're half decent at doing some things, but not the things which worry our opposition.
