I hear what your saying and it bores me to tears when a winger checks back and passes it back to the full back to cross, or to recycle the ball back into defensive midfield or the centre half, (or even worse the keeper!) but I think getting to the byline and getting crosses in is easier said than done these days. Gone are the days a full back is isolated one v one against the a tricky winger who can beat him with a bit of skill. Teams work so hard on defensive shape without the ball that shape and discipline is killing skill and entertainment, especially when a team just sits deep with two banks of defence (or low block as the kids call it these days).
You only have to look at the way we set up last night, we played with almost two sets of full backs!!! When they had the ball Grant and Bowler were marking their wide men and our fullbacks were spare behind them, its so negative and boring to watch.
What doesnt help is we dont have a Whitts or a Mcphail in the middle who can pick out runners, so even if Grant and Bowler make a great run off the ball theres no one to play them in. Colwill has a bit of quality but hes further forward and usually receving the ball with his back to goal on the half turn. We need someone with qualioty in the quarterbafk role and when the options are Siopis, Wintle ot Ralls, well,... just, well.
