Id like to think Cannon has played his last game for us. He cost a fortune per game played and really let the side down the last few games before he was dropped. Looks like his back problem is back, too.
Close, although i like him, he just hasn't improved enough to be at the consistent level we need for a L1 promotion challenge. Out of the midfielders, i would be saddest to see go but go he must.
Naylor - I know a lot of people rate him for doing the dirty work but he is just so terrible at passing. I cant believe we cant find a better tackling midfielder with a bit more composure and passing range. Goodbye Tom.
Morris - Is he still here?
Curtis - Big attitude problem and it affects the whole team. If we can get 1M + for him id bite your hand off.
Williams - Too lightweight unfortunately but fits Cowleys high press tactics and you need runners in the team to do this.
Harness - I think he's the best out of a bad bunch because he does show glimpses of what a player he could be. If he stays, he needs a senior player to compete with.
I agree with some of that Pedalo but you do need someone to do the dirty work. Naylor is a good player but he should concentrate on breaking up the opposition play, then giving the ball to someone more creative (hopefully we’ll be signing the aforementioned creative players soon).
Harness looks like he’s going to be one of those players who has forever unrealised potential, he’s been around long enough to know what is required. To succeed in professional football you need the talent (which he obviously has) and you need to have determination and a willingness to work your bollox off (both qualities that he appears to be lacking). Maybe the Cowleys can get the best out of him, we shall see.
Interesting times, all should become much clearer in the coming weeks.
