I cannot believe that Chris Turner did not make it into the final 18 today, to put McConville in ahead of him is absolutely crazy. Also playing Jimmy Ryan on the right wing is playing our best attacking minded midfielder out of position and this reduces his ability to score the important goals that he did last season. The full backs are part of the reason why our passing game has disintegrated, Lees and especially Winnard seem intent on hoofing the ball as much as possible and in the process completely bypass our midfield.

Today's performance was pretty poor in truth, we had a few chances but overall the quality of play from both sides was rubbish. Darlington and Grimsby are the sort of teams that we should be beating and comfortably but there seems to be something not quite right, I have noticed since January that Symes doesn't seem to put in the same effort as he did before. Some of his play today was either lazy or lethargic, there was a couple of times when he could of chased the ball but he seemed completely uninterested.

To have Chris Turner on the bench would've meant that we had a decent option to bring on who could offer something different and put in the crosses that would create chances. I cannot work out why he is being treat so shabby, McConville is too lightweight and doesn't offer the same skill as Chris. Is it a case that JC cannot motivate the players anymore and has took the club as far as he can? I hope I am wrong but I think that it could be the case.
