If ever a 90 minutes defined our season pre and post lock down this game was it. First half the change with Berge sitting deep worked and Fleck and Lundstram were bombing forward causing them problems on the break. They created nothing first half as we pushed up on them. At half time we looked the better team by far organised and dangerous on the break.
Second half we concede a poor goal and it all falls apart as we look devoid of ideas on how to get back into the game the subs and changes to formation don't work and the last 20 minutes are painful to watch.
Would we have finished higher if there hadn't been a pandemic? Hard to say but having to play football in a condensed time frame after training at Home for three months has bound to have had an effect as have the requirements for travelling to and from games.
The team have equalled the efforts of Bassets boys in the 90's in finishing 9th so fair play to them. They have earned a rest and that is what is needed now. Much for the management team to consider so contract issues need to be dealt with quickly. They either sign or we move them out and get replacements in.
Starting well next season will be critical to how our season pans out so the conditioning team will have to find new ways to get the players up to speed over a much shorter period. Off the field the Prince and co need to attract new sponsorship to provide as much support to CW as they can as maintaining our EPL status is of paramount importance.
Time for us to now move onto the rumours board for the next few weeks.
