Breaking News Taylor Foran Joins

Question is why not start Wind who has been with us most the season so far and been training with the group and is a defender. They were happy to bring him on to replace the new lad at CB so why not start him?
I agree, I mentioned in the post match thread that Wind couldn’t have been any worse! If you’re bringing in a loanee surely they have to better than what you’ve got. It smacks of a desperation signing, with Ralph back next match maybe we should have held fire.
 
I wonder if he was a name on the whiteboard in the summer prior to joining Bromley and that played a part in checking on his availability?

First thought that crossed my mind, surely turn a negative situation into a positive and big up wind to go on and blow everyone away.

Can't have done winds confidence any good tbh.
 
Is local, and joined 30 mins before kick off so remains to be seen if he’s just an emergency ‘body’ or anything more.
 
None of the defence looked any good.

Colin has gone to pot
Crowther isn't anywhere good enough. We were lead to belive he was a danger in the box. We just expected it to be the oppositions!
Ralph seems to have gone stale

For me only Taylor is a starter in this team
 
I remember when Maher got the job and said, 'You've got to want to play for the shirt'

Now we an emergency loan for some random bloke from Bromley, and have 4 defenders who won't jump to defend a corner.

I'm a pessimistic and negative fan in general and I've been critical of pretty much every player and manager we have ever had at some point but that's a next level gripe. They had 3 days. They are all random blokes until they join

Ralph had been impressive this season but was/is a victim of changing the back 3 on a regular basis. He was doing ever so well (as an individual) in the back three and was then moved (wrongly) to LWB. The loss of Kensdale has also massively affected the back 3.

The solidity of a defense is also impacted greatly when the mainstay CDM isn't playing. Anyone who genuinely has an ounce of knowledge about football knows that Miley is a huge miss, for both the midfield and the defense.

For those reasons, I really feel sorry for the back line. There's been so many changes there, some enforced and some purposefully done. It's no wonder we've looked so indecisive. I think Taylor, Crowther and Ralph will be the 3 going forward and they will be helped immensely once Miley is back. It's having all those variables available that is the biggest issue.
