We seem to lack an enforcer type that can free up Sicily to do his thing ... Hoping Blank can develop into that.How much of this lays at Simpsons feet though?
I reckon 15%, at best.
We made the list decisions as a collective, Simpson inherited the role and players. Sicily is being asked to play key defender because DGB and Blanck aren’t there yet. Is that Simspons fault?
Our midfield has had numerous periods of games where they are too easily ran through, letting ball fly into the defensive end. Is that Simspons fault?
Our defensive issues are a sum of all parts. Form, midfield defensive running, inexperience, defensive roles. He’s not hit it out of the park by any means, but no area of the ground is really excelling at the moment apart from possibly our stoppage game.
