A lot of good sensible comments in this thread and a very positive vibe about the squad. I too would be sad to see Hodgey go as he has the ability to lay off a killer pass that can win games and has an instinct for scoring himself. But, lots of competition in that area now... We do need cover for any injuries to Ricky though as our midfield control changed for the poorer when he came off and supply to Reggie down the right virtually dried up.
Michael played well, hit the bar and worked hard. I do feel that his need to take one or two extra fancy footwork touches means he looses possession frustratingly often and it's noticeable how easily bigger defenders bump him off the ball. We'll have to wait and see if he' physically big and strong enough as he can't jink to avoid contact in the way Reggie does. For me, Jon Page also looks a bit too light to fight midfield battles.
Hish looks fast, hungry and naturally capable. A really exciting prospect who's desire forĀ goals will be driven by the experience of having previously slotted 30 in a season.. What do we do with CJ - general utility defender/midfielder? 100% effort always but perhaps outclassed by those around him (see J N-W who was superb) to now make the starting line up regularly. A move might do him good...
Final ramble from me, thank God we got Jack when Liam left. Great saves again and a points winner, without doubt!
Think you're being a bit harsh with your comments on CJ, for me if we play a 3 at the back which Spencer seems to prefer then CJ will definitely be one of them. CJ can also play as a Defensive Midfielder which is probably his best position.Spencer has a nice selection headache for Hemel next week.
