Going nowhere
at 14:33 28 Feb 2012

When Nigel arrived my fear was "conference manager conference team".After 3 years are we really going anywhere under Nigel and Tom Glick. We are conference in so many ways. Player recruitment, player selection, tactics. Player recruitment - if Nigel only had £400k to spend in January 2011 why did he sign Ben Davies who is clearly not up to it at this level and is in danger of disappearing without trace. Why put so much effort in to getting Chris Maguire if he does not fit in to the playing system and seems not to be a Clough type of person. Why did we give Crofty a 3 year contract at £12k a week with his past record. What has Thomas Czwyka done. What has Miles Addison done? Is it a coincidence that the current bad run coincides with the arrival of Tom Carroll, an undoubted talent but presently a boy in a mans game. Why has Clough not signed a holding centre forward when everyone and his dog can see what we need.Tactically we are so naive. We play in straight lines so any opponents with a bit of craft find it easy to play through us. We nearly always lose the ball at throw ins. When did we last score from a corner or have an inventive free kick. I am resigned to stunning mediocrity whilst Nigel is here. The Americans just seem content for us to stay in the division until someone comes along and gives them a nice profit.
