Everyone saying Garcia, has lost the dressing room etc - what a load of bollocks. The half of our team intact is playing well. Defensivel we've we've generally been injury free and they've done well. We've played 10 games in last 2 months since Birmingham. Conceded 8 goals in those 10 games, 5 of those against Notts Forest and Ipswich, games we played badly but should've been out of sight before those goals.
Therefore don't think any of the back 6, (Kush, back 4, and Andrews or ince where he's deputised) are to blame.
Obviously our attacking options are limited, but what we do have should be good enough to score against teams like Yeovil etc. Couple of points I've noticed...
Our supply to the striker is shocking, especially Barnes... didn't go to yeovil but on FLS didn't look like he got much anyway. Think Ulloa is just different class and hidden the fact we've been so poor. We can't expect to hoof it up to Lita and Barnes and expect the things Ulloa can do. Need to play differently, any crosses in the box need to be drilled in with pace on it for Barnes/Lita to attack, its more difficult to defend and we've got much more chance of scoring. Watch Derby - Watford (first game on FLS) and Jamie Wards header for example. Maybe starting to do that looking at a slight chance Barnes had yesterday, but theres not enough of them.
Other point is the lack of players we get into the box, Crofts has done it a lot and well this season, but even just him and the striker isn't enough. If you watch other sides scoring goals they have 3/4 players in the box waiting for the ball. Need Buckley/Conway and the other CM getting in the box to support. Thats another reason all these calls for Ince to start are stupid. We only need one defensive midfielder, Andrews is better, so Ince doesn't play. By playing to defensive midfielders we're only hindering our attack more??
What were we practising throughout the international break?? Loads of work to be done in attack. Don't think this 'new striker' due this week will make too much difference unless he's much superior technically or very quick with good dribbling skills, which I doubt. Anyone calling for Garcia's head is stupid, so many players out its going to be difficult for him early into the job. We need to make more of what we've got though, attacking at the moment is simply not good enough. No thought going into it at all
