Not good enough all over

Where do you focus your attention on a team that is clearly not good enough throughout the squad?

Despite thinking he could do things better in terms of the formation and some comments he's made post-match, I actually have a lot of sympathy for Morison. The squad has been completely drained of any flair, creativity and general quality by previous regimes and he's been left to pick up the pieces. We have a defence that is consistently wide open through the middle (strange problem to have for a team with 3 CBs), a midfield that is slow and laboured, with a forward line that lacks any cutting edge.

How many of the following would get into a top half Championship side?

Flint, Nelson, Ng, Pack, Harris who all started today among a whole host of others in the squad. The answer is 0.

Something that is even more worrying is the amount of work needed on the squad in the summer. Those contracted to the club beyond this year:

Dillon Phillips

Curtis Nelson
Perry Ng
Mark McGuiness
Joel Bagan

Ryan Wintle
Tom Sang
Leandro Bacuna
Sam Bowen
Rubin Colwill
Kieron Evans

Kieffer Moore
James Collins
Mark Harris
Max Watters

Now that is a squad that truly terrifies me for a club with no money! I guess what I'm asking is, is it as much as a disaster if we DID get relegated and were forced to truly reset? Of course I think we should throw everything at staying up and certainly not advocating that it's a good thing, but would it be as disastrous as it seems on the face of it?

Wales Online have decided that Bacuna's contract is up this summer - so he can come off the list.

Morison had an impossible task -

change the style, bring in younger players and utilise the squad he inherited. These are contradictory aims. Several of the senior players in the squad cannot trap or pass the ball. The Championship is notoriously brutal for those who haven't played at that level before.

Those having a go at Morison with increasing frequency seem to think that the manager could do much better. It is clear that he has changed our style as much as is possible with this squad.

Now the manager is called upon by many, understandably, to change our defensive system as well as our style.

Mark Hudson is supposed to be our defence coach. What defence? Why is he not responsible for us playing the current "system"?


Morison has an impossible task and I think is largely doing what he can, which may not be very much, but he certainly needs time.

We haven't been in such a parlous position for years, but there are many games to go this season.

Patience is needed.

It's not even the end of January and we're 4 points from the bottom three. It's hardly over. Unfortunately, our better players are young and inexperienced. Our experienced players are old and were never that good to begin with. However, it's not over.
