Make no mistake, this is a relegation battle. Yesterday had all the hallmarks, the most significant being the dreaded 'playing quite well but still losing' that Mickey Adams specialized in. Quite apart from not being able to create chances, there is a lack of bottle and a lack of confidence. Symptomatic was McMahon trying to dink a cross when level with the penalty spot on the right side of the box that drifted out for a throw instead of putting his foot through the ball and getting a shot in. Far too often we saw players on the wing having to do everything themselves with no support near them. Taylor is one of these 'running through treacle' players. King didn't have a kick. Didn't win a header, couldn't hold it up, link up play poor. Looked like a donkey. Oh and he is 33 and we are stuck with him for a year. I would sooner have Kitson, at least he could win headers. Where is this high-tempo pressing game we were promised? Why is Cuvelier lurking in the shadows behind Doyle?
