We’re desparately crying out for a forward driving midfield unit,
Undone today by one quality cross and header .. one mistake .

But we offer nothing going forward (until last 10 mins today). Forwards seemed on different wavelength to midfield .. not knowing what to expect. Midfielders seemingly nervous about forward motion and very little in the way of threaded balls forward, either to a wide or central position .

Without a strong unit in midfield, we’ll continue to struggle . No service up front . Maddox is struggling at this level , it’s too physical for him ( I can see him doing well at higher level). He loooked lost today. Clements and Atangana just went left to right today.. I really struggle to see right now where we go from here.

In the past , we’ve heavily relied on goals from midfield. They have gone / evaporated .
Major midfield surgery needed in Jan.
