Howsons not the problem. Although he was poor Tuesday, i noticed he was blowing out of his **** at Reading.
Hes probably our best player.
Hes probably fatigued, due to the amount of ground he has to cover.
Him and Morsey. have to fill the middle of the pitch because our wing backs are too wide and are defenders playing as attacking players,
our centre backs also pull out far too wide and Mcnair especially likes to push on, leaving huge gaps when we more often than not lose possesion quickly, and get overturned , other teams have far more pace throughout them ( it seems ) also technical ability and just move straight through us.
I know a lot of people like Bola ( he seems a nice lad ) but his distribution is poor, often coming to nothing, I feel Johnson would be much better suited to this system.
We have no leaders on the pitch, especially at centre back, really need a commanding centre half, ala ironically Nigel Pearson type , someone to ******* people, gee em up to raise their game , the whole squad is far too meek ( Morsey excepted ).
Confidence is all but can only get you so far, a major overhaul required in the summer, whether we can afford it remains to be seen.
Its the hope that gets to you !
