Anyone think midfield is the problem?

That was a difficult watch tonight, as have been a lot of the games this season. Personally I think that our midfield is the issue, and some of this has to go down to NC's coaching. They all look the same....Robson, Ward, Williams, and Anderson never go past a player or get beyond the front two. Its all sideways passing with no threat. It's pretty to watch but ineffective in this division. CJ looks dangerous at pace, but his final ball is woeful. Apart from his goals this season he hasn't created anything.

I feel like we cant judge our forwards yet as they have been given no service to speak of. They aren't missing chances, we just aren't getting them.

Hopefully Woodburn can provide this. In his brief cameo tonight he looked like he wanted to get forward and support the front two.

Oh for a Charlie Adam type player eh?
 
It certainly was tonight, 2 against 3 in midfield was a struggle for the whole game !
 
Yes but I still wonder if we would score from the chances created by a creative mid-field.
 
It’s not just the midfield- our defence, midfield and attack are all straight lines. No one drops into pockets, or fills the gaps in between.
 
Time for Virtue to be given a chance.
Good point about Virtue. We don't seem to have a box-to-box midfielder apart from him. How long is he out for? He might also be the captain we crave. You can't her anyone shouting and cajoling players at all in our team. It was noticeable tonight that you could hear the Charlton players but none of ours.
 
Virtue is out for an unspecified length of time.
If you want to look for positives we have Virtue, Dougall, Gretarsson, Kaikai who all could come into the starting 11.
