Agregate from last 3 games (7 days): no points, 1 goal for, 8 goals against ..... definately relegation form, I fear!
Suggests we can't score and can't defend either. Far be it for me to criticise MM but I really am stating to question some of his selections. Chippy on the bench at Derby was a surprise but not a shocker? A very defensive bench at home to Crewe - like who was the replacement front man if either Knight or Piercy (or both) had got injured - is a shocker.
Jarrect could have done the job, or Jakey, or even Molongo - having 3 midfielders like Oatway, Chippy and Hammond all on the bench at the same time looks like a mistake IMHO. BTW why did MM buy Molongo, having had a good look at him in several pre-season games and finding him good enough to pick at Reading - has the lad lost his bottle and can't play? With money so tight, I'm sure DK is pulling his hair out with that sort of purchase.
An earlier post suggested MM is making to many changes - I'd expect fine-tuning at this stage of the season and the manager to know what his strongest selection to be. Yes I know, injuries and suspension make it awkward.
Why did MM give Harty 30 mins against Leeds - which looked like a smart move to give him a taste of first team football the week before his 2nd choice striker served a one match suspension - and then ask Currie to play up front. Not his best position IMHO
MM came to us with a Div 1 pedigree - now is the time for him to deliver.
PS sorry if this looks like a pop at MM - its not intended, just wanted to raise some questions to see if I'm missing something obvious here.
