Southampton Shrimper
Team Eggheads
A very disappointing and frustrating evening. We just weren't in the game and never looked like getting anything from it. We certainly didn't look anything like the team of recent weeks. Let's just hope that this is a one-off blip and not a sign of things to come!
Tonight has confirmed for me that I don't think Adam looks comfortable at left back. I've thought this the couple of previous times I've seen him play there, but I think it hasn't shown up so much because the opposition hasn't been as good as it was tonight, but he looks like he can't make his mind up where he wants to be, he knows he should be on the left, but can't help wanting to move to the middle. It's got to be Che at left back from saturday, Adam is far more useful at centre back, and neither Efe nor Spinner had particularly brilliant games there tonight.
I also think Juppy showed there is no way he is going to be able to cope if we made it into the Championship - so two full backs required over the summer, methinks.
On the positive side, another good performance from Darryl, Gower played quite well, but I think Freddy was our best player, he worked harder than anyone else on the team, was unlucky not to get a goal, and appeared to be the only one of our team up for it half the time! Oh, and we didn't get wet, either!
Still, at least other results kind of went our way, we're still top of the league, we just need to get over tonight and beat Chesterfield on Saturday!
