people who are slagging off the performance last night are the same bunch that said that dougies first job was to sure up the defence. two games in he is undefeated and the team have conceded just one goal, organisation is key to what he is trying to implement and that takes time to perfect before we can look at how a solid unit can then produce goals.
I think putting the same starting 11 out again can be excused because the players that people have been moaning about e.g. Davies and Pratley have been defensively solid enough, It’s there attacking play which has not been up to much. having them in the team means that we then still have Petrov and Ngog that can come on and change a game but playing them for 90 minutes now may be risky while we get the defensive unit perfected.
many will say spearing should be in the team and I do in part agree but I can see that we are going with experience to start with which we should be happy to except.
Rome wasn’t built in a day and greatness needs to be built on solid foundations instead of the quick sand that we were used to with Owen.
