Charmless Man
Striker
Complete lack of athleticism all over the park is the single biggest reason we’ve struggled.
None of our wide players look capable of beating their man with pace alone with any regularity. Our midfield are frequently second to every ball and struggle to track runners. Baldwin, Flanagan and Ozturk are too slow to recover from their inevitable mistakes.
This arguably should have been addressed in January and whilst Leadbitter appeased the fans a bit, and has been prominent with his set price deliveries, I’m not sure he was the signing we really needed.
Not making him a scapegoat at all, I just what he was playing alongside 1/2 better athletes in midfield.
Edit: and for clarity I mean struggled relatively. I’m aware we’ve made the play offs.
