Potts

Potts perfectly sums up this squad - hard working, hard running but limited. Often frustrating to watch and better away from home.
Personally I thought it was a good point earned today against a far more talented outfit than ourselves.

This is a good point you make. Looking at our team these days in terms of the personnel and performances, there is very very little flair in the team.

Neil has filled the squad with hard working players and whilst that's a good thing, you also need players with flair and creativity who can do that something different, something special to change a game, unlock a defence, turn a draw into a win, or even a defeat into a draw/win.

Also we appear to have signed someone in Whiteman with creativity at least (not sure about flair) who scored goals from midfield for his previous club and what do we do with him?
 
I like potts. Good athlete. Has goals in him as well. I said it on here before , I think he'd make a good striker .
Well playing much closer to the opposition goal certainly would help as it would give his shots less time to gain altitude and some possibly might actually stay below crossbar level !!!!

I think in a lot of ways the pressure for flair and spark falls on Sinclair. Sadly, when he has a quiet day, so do we. Early on in the game I thought he did quite well getting close to Rio's and looking for the flick ons etc but it soon faded away when Reading woke up after 10 minutes.
