Morris started the games against Southend, Sunderland, Exeter,Colchester,Cheltenham, Salford,Bradford, Barrow and FGR through March and April (and today) so I don't think Hill doesn't rate him. .
I agree that the team looks toothless at present despite the quality of a lot of the players). I also agree that there is now a big risk of not even making the playoffs should Exeter win and Tranmere lose next week, which given the inability to score more than one goal in a game at present is a distinct possibility, especially with the likelihood of at least one defensive mix-up.
I am at a loss to understand why the players are not having many shots on goal. Clarke, before this game, was on 40 attempts so far just behind Feeney and Lewis. Vaughan way out on his own. I think Mark should also take in those stats when considering the Manager performance. The aim is to score goals and concede as few as possible, with the former greater than the latter! All the flowery build up towards the final third is of no use if there is no end product.
There were more attempts on goal in games managed by Dawes and Parkinson. That's another statistic for Mar
Sparky, I think the Kahn change was due to Hill's defensive mindset. When Lewis went off injured, it was logical to simply replace him with Morris. However, Hill wanted to have two defensive midfielders, which I don't think was necessary in a game we had to win, and moved O'Connor into midfield and Kahn to right back.Yes it was very much the same old story of recent weeks, even months since Vaughan was injured. As I said previously at Bradford we got a very lucky win and did well in one half v barrow to just about get a 1-0 win. Once again today we’ve been found out and given an opposition keeper hardly anything to do.
RLC makes a good point about OConnor. Call me old fashioned but I never like tampering with a back 4 during a match unless you have to. Lewis was injured so bring on a midfielder in his place instead of shuffling a few things around and upsetting the back 4. Khan was at fault for the first goal - end of story. Without that we get a 1-1 draw so Keith must shoulder the blame. a great goal from Morris can’t hide the fact that once again we’ve hardly created anything. The pressure is on next week to get a ‘positive point’ v Colchester who we couldn’t beat in the reverse fixture and who beat Salford today
Totally agree, I have sky and I'm tempted not to bother to watch the games its that bad.I don't feel any enthusiasm for the play offs, even on the assumption we get there. I don't like what I am seeing week after week and the last two months have not been at all enjoyable.
Yes. He has lost all confidence and struggles to even run a few feet with the ball before losing it. He looks lost in that position. Get him on the wing and get him crossing in balls which is what he is good at and what we brought him in for.. his assists.With regard to Feeney's poor form, he was excellent earlier in the season played wide, which is his natural position. However, he has massively lost form and confidence since being played centrally alongside Spearing. So it is another case of a square peg in a round hole.
He should have been rested and allowed to recharge his batteries a while back in all honesty.I would not start Feeney for the next game, he looks jaded and is no longer able to deliver quality set-pieces on a regular basis.
