Don't forget Mike...I really do not have it in for Luke. However, he only fulfils the three criteria to something like 50% in my view. You are probably correct in stating that it is the 'coaching' or the orders to which he is playing but he and our other midfield players could be far more effective if they pressed higher up the pitch. When Luke gets the ball the play too often slows down and he either passes sideways or backwards. Procky doesn't have the guile or skill to create that much going forward and he is losing his physicality and pace these days a bit like Steve 'Stamper' Gerrard! We need midfield players who drive forward and feed true wingers who then get round the back of defenders and unlock the opposition.
I know that it was in non league days but you will remember so well the times when we had Jay Flannery doing the 'driving' and feeding wingers like Russell Payne, Rory 'Diver' Prendergast and Dean Calcutt. Glory days of attacking football with combative domination in midfield eh!
Ok for the lift on friday Mike. Pick you up at 7.15pm.
