Listening to Jack tonight he sounded like a beaten man trying desperately to find some positives from another defeat . I must say looking at the brief highlights it could have been 8-2 to them .
The fact he insists on playing Brad Barry and Brown,neither of whom don't really contribute anything to the team makes me wonder if Jack is up to the task.To play Barry in a wing back position is a total waste of a position.He drops Kellett ,our most creative player and within 5 minutes of him coming on scores .He casts Rowley out to the wilderness in favour of Brown and Hines and within 5 minutes of bringing him on he creates a goal .
The defence did ok on Saturday and he chose to completely change it .Why ??.
His January recruitment on the whole has been pretty poor and hasn't improved us one bit.
Having said all this there are some mitigating circumstances ,injuries etc ,so I am of the opinion we should allow him more time to try and build a team that will get us out of the Conference .We have played good stuff at times and he did say he needed 4 windows but I don't think he will get more than 2 if things don't improve .The summer window is the true test of recruiting ability as there is more time to plan it, whereas the January window is frantic and knee jerky and I think Jack is ruthless enough to make the big decisions this summer.
