The result against Doncaster Rovers has been on the cards for a while. In the FA Cup match against Charlton, we were poor but we got away with it because they are the worst team in the division. The performance against Donny was quite frankly embarrassing you could have picked eleven pot bellied blokes from the kop instead and at least that would have been more entertaining.
Using his expert powers of deduction after the game Blackwell said we were too one dimensional. Well this is his one dimensional team and they play to his instructions. We have lost Speed who has effectively been replaced with Monty while the replacement for Beattie is apparently already here. If any potential signings were watching that pile of stinking garbage last night they would run many a mile.
The problem with our direct style of football is when teams do their homework and play a certain way we seem to have no alternative. We simply have no plan b because of the lack of creativity in midfield. Sometimes you can bombard the opposition all night to no avail because they are expecting exactly that. Our last decent midfield had Brown and McCall in it. In those days, we may have been direct at times but we could also play some football.
If they keep performing like last night attendances will drop fast. People are not going to keep forking out in return for being bored shit less for ninety minutes. These highly paid professionals are expected to entertain us. You have to wonder whether Blackwell is able to put it right or if he even wants to. Of course, he now has an excuse anyway seeing as we are re-profiling the squad (which basically means we are counting the pennies).
With the derby coming up, let us hope that Blackwell manages to coax a more suitable performance out of his players for the next home game. We are due a result against them after the more recent encounters. A couple of quality additions to the team would not go amiss either.
