Andy Hughes was targeted at right back and it worked. I no he's not a right back and so does everyone else apart from Grayson because he plays him in both FB positions whenever the first choice is out. He's coming towards the end of his career i no but he simply too slow to play there. He isn't the greatest tackler, his positioning is pretty dire and any sort of cross near him and the opposition player wins a free header everytime. But, you cant blame Hughes for that, it's Grayson that continues to play him there. We've got Bromby who's played quite abit over his career at RB but Larry seems to stick to certain players no matter how bad they play.Howson, how on earth does he not only keep his place in our lightweight midfield but then gets given the captaincy? Johnson is the same, never gets dropped. They simply aren't strong enough to win midfield battles and we have been crying out for someone like Faye all year. We finally got him in and he sits warming the bench while we concede goals almost every game.
The new left back McCartney gave away a stupid penalty to make it 4-4, the Preston player was going towards the corner flag and there was no danger whatsoever and he goes and hacks him down like a utter muppet. All we had to do from half time was keep players behind the ball, tighten up in midfield and at the back and the game was ours but Larry should of sorted that out.
Well done to Dave Somma, the loan spell at Lincoln has done him the world of good and now he's reaping the rewards. 6 goals already and his place in the team should be nailed on now, will also get better as the season goes on.
