For me it's quite simple and not that hard to work out why we struggle on occasions and look decidedly average.
We quite simply have too many light weight players in the team, too many little boys in midfield that are great at running with the ball, doing a trick or two or running the channels but just simply cant mix it up, which leaves us with very little steal and grit which is very much needed. I wasn't Ashley Barnes biggest fan but boy could the boy work, he gave us grit, he battled to the very end and that's missing terribly from the team. We've lost our leaders in Bridcutt and Crofts and even though Stephens is improving him and Andrews are not on the same level. Where's the player to drag us on or pick us up when things are going wrong, for me there simply isn't one and that's why we look out of balance in midfield.
We have to face facts that we are are one of 5-6 average teams fighting to nick that last playoff spot, lets just hope we get it and again teams do us a favor. All said and done I think Garcia has done well with what he's had to work with but this team needs investment in the summer whatever division we are in.
