Thank God for 3 points but we weren't good. First half was poor and thankfully we played the second against 10 men.
As mentioned before, get Osborne off corners, terrible.
Pringle made the difference, deserves a few games as No.10. He is always there and is positive in his play. It was a painful watch until he came one.
I agree about Barrows, potential but needs to get forward. Both fullbacks need to get forward more.
Very worrying that we have re-signed Harrison. Dinanga is rubbish, he is a poacher but not intelligent enough in his movement.
Can the club gives us an update on injuries please? The Fanzone? and sort the queues out for a drink at HT. Mentioned a 100 times, pre pour pint machines, bottle bar...It would make the club more money and simple enough to install.
I want to be positive but I am really concerned and can't see us going on any run. However I do believe we are only 4 fit players short of being a side good enough to stay up. CM,LB,No.10 and striker.
Kossy, Marriott and a fit Hulme would fill 3 of the roles but we need them roles filling until they become available. Also need to make a decision on Kaja and his fitness, good player but a career of injuries.
Good post.
I must admit I wondered why they persisted with Osborne on corners.
I remember when we used to do the SharrattTerry corner, Harris flick-on and Green header. So far as I can tell, it worked because Harris was brilliant at getting a good flick-on (also, Heathcote used to put in a really good cross in training - maybe something rubbed off on the players?). In later years, we went through a spell where we had a lot of corners described as "self-clearing". Seriously, when was the last time we had a really effective corner routine? If it's on any of the seasons that feature on Alty TV since 2011, I'd be interested to take a look.
