Our big problem is that our midfield is fucking useless. Whelan and McCarthy are fucking terrified of the football. Shit thing is, both of these players would probably be okay on their own, playing defensively, but they don't seem to work together, because with both of them on the pitch, our midfield ends up 2 feet in front of the defence and hoofing the ball to the opposition goalkeeper over and over again.
In defence, we've been very good really, our record over the campaign shows that. Up front, not as good, but it's hard to score goals when your midfield keeps forgetting to show up. We have good options in Long and Walters, so we do have players who can score goals, but our style of play does them absolutely no favours.
On the wings, Coleman and Brady have been bloody great the last few matches, but we have problems at left-back and right midfield. Hendricks did well yesterday in mid, he looks a good player really, but we need to sort that left-back shit out. Ward would probably be okay-ish if he was fit, but you can't be relying on someone who gets fuck all matches for a club that isn't even in the top flight.
