Hardly a performance to get us rocking in the aisles but tonight the three points were worth more than anything. However, we aren't playing well and getting results in future games is going to be a struggle until we start playing with more tempo, cohesion and fluency. Too many of our players are turning up and just doing what they have to. And no more. But we need the whole team to step up and put in the extra effort that wins games and builds momentum. For me that won't be until we get a manager/coach who restores our identity and gets the squad playing to its strengths. Some stats:
POSSESSION: 62-38 SHOTS: 10-9 OT: 4-4 CORNERS: 4-3 FOULS: 10-8 GOALS: 2-1
What worries me is that yet again a team with far less possession, more or less matched us for shots and OT efforts. This should not be the case. It shows that we aren't making sufficiently effective use of our possession. The whole object of the game is to create chances, get shots away and score goals. Far too often our opponents better us at that despite having far less of the ball. And if the coaches at the Liberty can't see what's happening and address the problem then they're even worse than I think they are. Come on, Mr Coleman, get your arse in gear and do your job because right now very few fans think you are.
