Will not try to do a report, and look forward to reading Steves later, but I want to say that experiment bordered on inept. The formation, playing Ollie in a 10 style role, against a team who were dreadful and below us in the table. DC I have been your biggest fan, you have been beyond criticism from me, but that was a joke. After 20-25 mins he switched Sercs over from Clarke into the defensive midfield pairing with Upson. I actually felt for Nicholls, he worked hard and actually looked better, but what could he do up there without support.
I am sure in training our skilful and tricky small midfielder's look amazing, holding the ball, passing to each other and running rings around the stiffs, creating tap ins, almost 5 a-side style. But in a competitive league game against big opposition fighting for everything, completely different story. Wimbledon were not a good side, but they were better than us, played better football as well. With a proper 4-4-2 or even 3-5-2 with our first choice 11 (whatever that is no one knows, and I'm gutted to think DC doesn't either) we should hammer teams like this. I don't fall into the camp that our transfers aren't good enough, there is stacks of ability in this squad. I am beginning to worry, DC needs to get the spine sorted, keeper tick, defensive tick (ish), now midfield and attack. If he wants to play Ollie and Tom, fine stick with it and put the rest of the formation into place with balance, play the players where they are supposed to play, get some confidence and start creating, attacking and scoring. Simple hey!?

Simple hey!? Everyone has been saying Sercs should be centre mid. He played about 30 mins there Sat and all bar 20 mins last night. Originally in a 2 then a three. Not shone at all. Is he just struggling cause of the return from injury or another lacking confidence? Would suggest Ollie has to play in centre mid. Left on Sat and no 10 last night is not for him. At present he is our only complete midfield player. He tackles, passes, shoots, drives with ball. If he was more consistent and slightly better at them all we would have someone to sell in Jan! |

Says a lot that our current ‘marquee’ player is Oliie Clark. I thought he played well.

Ollie Clarke is at his most effective when he is paired with Lines, who for some reason known only to DC is out of favour at the mo.

He is most effective when he is allowed to play and players around him are confident and want the ball.
