Default Re: Conclusions from tonight

I have waited until today to think about conclusions.

My conclusion today is that it was a really really poor night for the management team. The players started the game looking nervous, not determined, a management failure. Playing 4-4-2 failed miserably and was a management failure. Playing the two strikers up front with the smallest likelihood of scoring was a management failure.

If the claim is made that the formation change was forced due to injuries, that is rubbish and my preferred uninjured three would have been Ruthers, Wright, Young.

Holroyd has had a really poor deal from Ricketts, Hughes and Barrow. That he didn't start tonight in a two was bordering on malicious ignorance.

I don't blame anyone in taking a gamble on Oswell and Stockton. There is very little to like about Oswell and Stockton looks spent.

I don't think tonight was terminal but Hughes, Darlington, Jussi and Flynn went down in my estimation.
