Firstly, long time reader, first time poster. Hello all.
Over the past 3 league games i have come to the conclusion that Magilton is little more then a motivator. His team selection and tactics have been very questionable in each and every game.
Blackpool - Why after playing Vine and Agymang together for a majority of the friendlies did JM drop them both in favour of a partnership that was untried in Helguson and Tarrabat?
Plymouth - After 75mins where Rangers were controlling the game JM decides to take off Helguson in favour of Agymang. Helguson might not be a world beater or a 30 goal a season stricker but what he does do is challenge for headers and holds the ball up. As soon as he went off, every ball played upto the front 2 just came straight back putting pressure on the defence which as we all know eventually buckled.
Bristol City - So after witnessing the above happen at Plymouth JM decides to leave out Helguson? After a goal and a very productive game he gets dropped to the bench. Again Agymang plays and again he fails to hold up the ball to allow the midfield a chance to get forward. Tarrabat likes to drop deep to recieve the ball and then turn and run at the defence, he needs someone to play off and not a player like Agymang that likes to play on the defenders shoulder.
As with the defence, JM has needlessly swapped things around from last year. He keeps harping on about playing good attacking passing football. Well why then leave the best passer of the ball amongst our defenders (Connolly) on the bench. Rumors have said he is carrying a knock, well i can confirm he has been training without and injury or 'knock' since 2 days before the Blackpool game. He is fit to play.
Gorkss gets dropped after solid performances in the previous games.
The best defences are built on consistency. It is not good for them to be chopped and changed, how can they get used to how the others play?
JM needs to seriously look at his squad and how they play. To me he is not picking the players on merit.
Anyway that is my 2 bobs worth, please critique
