From what I've seen this season, it's the same old, a run of scraping some wins and then boom a bad run, players having 3 or 4 really good games and then boom they go missing - Armstrong banging them in for fun, then we don't see him for 5 or 6 games, Bradley Johnson starting the season off well and looking very dominating in midfield and now looks like his legs have completely gone, Kaminski commanding at the back collecting clean sheets, and then 1 clean sheet in 12 games, even gallagher looked okay for a couple of games, bagged a couple of goals and now looks absolutley useless again. Then theres the manager, we start the season absolutley flying at teams, Dolan, Breo and Arma terrorising defences, the fullbacks getting further up the field than we are used to and then all of a sudden everything has gone very laboured and we look clueless.
Everything points to the manager, to let players get away with such inconsistencies on regular basis is poor, drop them, it's that simple, but no he strangley drops players who are in form, at time this season Dolan and Rothwell have been put on the bench a week after having good games, whereas the likes of Lenihan who has been awful all season keeps making the team (okay at times unavoidable, but go with a back 3 with Nyambe in there if need be).
We were more effective with Danny Graham knocking the ball down to Dack, than we are now. I've seen a few fans on twitter saying things along the lines of "he wants to play the right way, but the players just aren't good enough yet" - Well don't frigging play that way then, it's simple isn't it? surely!
We are 17th in terms of goals shipped, probably a couple of games away from dropping into the bottom 4 in terms of goals shipped, this defensive issue has been going on for far to long now under mowbray, last night some of the defending was completely unacceptable, it was like wathcing a schoolboy game, 3 or 4 of them chasing the same ball and leaving huddersfield with 2 players free at the back post on 2 or 3 occasions, utterly woeful. It's clear we need a proper defensive midfielder in there to protect this woeful back 4, I thought that's why we got Trybull in, he isn't a forward thinking player, he is a pitbull type player, but he's hardly played a game, instead we have Johnson in there who struggles to run. Just not good enough.
