They say that all good teams are built on a spine - Gilks, Evatt, Adam, DJ as an example .. so is our spine Alnwick, Heneghan, Spearing and Gnando as that looks a bit flimsy to me
It's a strange one isn't it because on paper Spearing should provide that 'backbone in midfield' but I feel he is limited as a player and therefore you then need someone alongside him to do the creative, attacking and passing game which I think we expect of him but he is unable to deliver.
