As a defender, Efete is pretty hopeless, goes to sleep too many times.
But has been better than Mullarkey these last 2 games.

I agree with this. I think Efete defends quite well in 1v1 situations because he has the physical attributes (pace, strength) to ensure he's not easily beaten, or can recover well. But he's often out or position, not aware of where players are or the dangers around him, making him slow or late to react to danger a lot of the time. Attacking wise, again, Efete has the physical attributes to be able to get up and down the line supporting the winger or breaking forward, but IMO (and I don't want to sound brutal but can't sugar-coat it) he's pretty awful with his decision-making in terms of when to pass it, where to pass it, and especially his crossing which has always been really bad. For instance I couldn't see Efete putting in that quality cross Mullarkey did for Rose's goal at Bradford. I'm not writing Mullarkey off yet but we need better than our other 3 full backs if we are to compete at this level.

Agree, although I really like Danny Amos and there’s not too much wrong with him for a L2 left back.

Apart from his crosses are awful and don't get me started on his dead ball deliveries, oh and getting rinsed by any winger with half an ounce of pace!!.. And on from that, do we actually do any work on set pieces?..we are so incompetent its verging on being embarrassing tbh

Always thought Michee is one of those types that's better when he doesn't have time to think , especially when in the opposing half - even when on the ball ,give him a bit of time and he will invariably role it backwards - second half Tuesday when the handbrake was off he went on a couple of barnstorming runs . I agree though about his concentration and positional play ,but with his physical attributes he wouldn't be a league 2/NL player if he had those would he Tommy . Unfortunately they are attributes that probably won't improve .

Fair play if that’s your view but it’s a bit harsh. I would say it’s more fair to say that his crossing is inconsistent, as is his dead ball delivery at times, and he’s not super quick, but, you know, if he was consistently great in those areas he wouldn’t be a L2 footballer. I think he’s fully committed, fit, strong, technically ok and positionally solid. Full backs get done all the time. At every level. You can’t hold him fully responsible for ‘defensive unit’ shortcomings. Check out his cross field ball in the Bradford away game, leading to our goal or his whipped hit last season against Luton for the third goal. He isn’t flawless. Nobody is in L2 is. He’s basically steady away, and he absolutely gives his all, at all times. I’m behind players like that. He’s invested. He’s committed. The squad needs more players with that spirit. That buy-in. There are weaker links.

I agree with this, Some fans have their mind made up on Efete but for me, he walks into the side over Mullarkey
Efete wouldn't walk into my Sunday league side

I still think our strongest left side is Amos LB with Glennon LM we might then see some decent crosses for Rose and Wilson to attack.
