[Exile on Spencer St]

Didn't see the Barrow game (lucky me, by the sound of it) but the absence of a midfielder like Linganzi was also evident against Oldham. But then, Linganzi was a one-off. I'm no expert but, without someone who can win the ball off opponents (like Linganzi using guile or Proctor using arms and legs) Joyce doesn't always cut it. If given time and space, Joyce can do well, but, in League 2, the only space is on the terraces, not on the pitch. I hope the 'long ball' reference in Mr Beattie's post match interview is not an acknowledgement of the apparent lack of a midfield powerhouse.
