Thought it was a poor game tonight, it was more a case of who was going to give it away rather than who was going to win it.
I just find it so frustrating me how slack our passing is. I just can't get my head around how a professional can pass to the opposition when under no pressure, but we seem to do it all the time. I know the conditions were poor, the lack of quality has to come down to poor concentration / not being arsed.
John Swift is the most frustrating because he's obviously got some talent. I know he scored tonight, but I just find the amount of times he passes to the opposition or skies a shot when he has all the time in the world to be criminal. You expect these sort of decisions from a teenager, but not a player who has played the number of games he has.
BTA as well. The lad works his socks off, so it's hard to be critical, but his first touch and ball playing is dreadful. The amount of times he misses the simple and obvious ball. That's 2 games he's gone through on goal and not even got a shot off. Just can't see how we expect to do anything in this league with him leading the line.
I suppose it's a decent point and probably more than I expected, but I just wish we could play some proper football. Controlled. Incisive. Entertaining. CC seems happy to persist with 5 at back rather than sacrificing one of the centre halfs for a Sarmiento or Grady. Just all feels a bit dour to me.
