Default Re: Aldershot reaction

Big A - some good questions.

For me the problems all start with Wedgbury as the defensive CM player as this basically make the 442 very dysfunctional. His defensive qualities are good and along with Pearson and Manny he has been one of our most consistent performers.

However.......his ball retention and passing abilities are extremely limited as we saw yesterday and he provides very little going forward. This is OK if we had effective midfielders in front of him - but we don't.

So in effect we have 3 CBs and should therefore push both FBs further forward, but neither Roberts/Jennings is that good going forward and with Dunn we have a back 6.

I think Quigley has definitely improved our attacking threat and by the brief look of Ainge yesterday I think he will also provide a bit more physicality up front.

This therefore leaves 3 midfield places available and as it stands IMO none of the ones we have are good enough
