I think we possibly need to concentrate more on what we can do than what we can't ......... and use the abilities we have in a positive way. Everyone concentrates on what Evans can't do for instance, but he is a defender who carries real attacking threat. Everyone's obsessed with Muggleton not being a footballer, but he can certainly shoot, we don't seem to concede any more when he plays ...... Joe Gomez makes England a goal by nearly throwing in to the NEAR post, and Muggleton can reach the far post and we don't seem to have grasped how to use it.
Our defence isn't conceding alarmingly, our midfield doesn't get over-run, and though we aren't scoring we are playing Lee Shaw who scored over 60 in the last two seasons, Denton got a hat-trick this week, Hallam has been scoring at Sheff Utd at a lower level, Hines if he's fit can score a few, Amantchi needs a goal to get started, Carter has to be fit one day, even Fortune is scoring more than we expected - and we could always recall Gozie. There IS far more goal potential than for the last two seasons if we actually maintain a little more pressure on the opposition. Personally I'd like to see us press our opponents much more to keep the ball in that final third and force mistakes in dangerous areas. I reckon it is more about tilting the balance of our play towards the slightly-more attacking than radical change.
