Can’t shoot, score or defend

Not looking great is it - 7 games in, joint bottom of the league, and so much work to do all over the pitch. How long do players need to bed in? How long to have players playing in a system they understand?
How long before it’s apparent Critchley is a coach but not a League One manager?

Worrying signs and a long hard season ahead unless things change sharpish.

Ballard look quality. Other than that really really poor.........One deflected shot. Charlton keeper could have booked the day off.

MJ was good also, as was Marv. The problem is our wingbacks, they just can't defend. We have got some tidy players but are sadly lacking in the final 3rd. Yates and Bez are pointless, utterly pointless. Who scouted them as they don't even look like professional footballers, never mind L1 level.

Aye, but he’s not going to solve the massive problems we currently have. For the pre-match talk Critchley gave of imposing an attacking style of play and being on the front foot, we’re not really seeing any of that. Granted, bell end Husband threw any game plan out of the window early doors, but he is also a symptom of a clueless looking team and not playing players where their strengths are.

It's a bit ironic that we had better starts when we used to cobble players together in the last few days of pre-season!

There are benefits to signing grizzled pros desperate to continue their careers and prove their worth.
