John Doolan was very vocal during the first half in attempting to get Seamus on the ball more to break up play and create the link in the passage between defence and attack.
I was surprised at how high up the pitch he was playing for large parts of the first half considering Sean and Johnny Russell are much more attacking midfielders.
As has been previously mentioned, we are trying it seems to fit our best 11 players into a system that may not suit them.
McConville in particular has struggled in the CM roll. A switch with him and Pritchard is a possibility. I think Coley made the right decision swapping Sykes and Nottingham after the first half, but we were just too sluggish throughout the pitch.
Game of small margins though and I hope this is a sign that we are a good team that even when we played below par, we still had chances. Seamus’s strike from my position didn’t look like it missed by much, Colby and Notts both had free headers.
Hopefully Butchers noggin isn’t too badly broke and he is back in contention ASAP.
