He should stay, drop playing out from the back, go 4-4-2 ideally with Max on the left and when he’s back Tilley on the right of mid field as defenders can’t deal with pace at this level and both Preston and Hendrie can overlap. We then get in behind and allow the strikers and attacking mid to get forward in the box and find space.
Get Gibson a partner (Windsor?) and give them a run in the side. Play a ball winner in mid field who has energy and stop making selection decisions like he did yesterday with Clifton.
Holloway is a good manager but just needs to adjust his ideas to the level he’s managing at.
Preston has started to look terrified every time he steps on the pitch. We definitely need a left back.. |

If my mid field had coughed up so much ball my confidence would be shot to sh1t, you’re right though we need an experienced left back and more credible defensive cover. |

At the moment, given I cannot think of any other better options and where we are in the season, he has to stay. But as others have said there’s always been one common denominator in our years of decline. It doesn’t take a rocket scientist to work out who that is.
Totally agree - we must move from BP as soon as is financially possible! |

His confidence will be low. It really hits you as a keeper when things aren't going your way and mistakes creep in and you start to second guess yourself. He isn't suited to playing it from the back, he isn't that poor on the ball in all fairness, but it isn't ideal. I'd argue Waterfall doesn't want to be receiving it either when being pressed. I'm all for playing football the right way, but maybe in the final two thirds when one error doesn't lead to disaster.
Macca was good at non-league level and ok for a lower half league 2 team but we must have better if we aspire for promotion. IMO he has not improved in any area of his play since he joined us and I find that disturbing. It's almost like he can't learn from his mistakes , which this season have been many. It is said that he isn't suited to playing out from the back but surely that is just a judgement call. He should know by now who to and when to pass out and when to punt it forward. |

If I was Macca I wouldn't have confidence passing to any of our players especially Morton or Taylor

I think a lot of that has merit butt would say Windsor and Edwards up front
No strength at all there with those two. You need at least one of them to be able to hold the ball up. Think Woods (hold up) or Livvo and Mendonca, Gary Jones. Or more recently Bogle and Hannah. Neither of the two you mention can do that. In fact, we don't have anyone aside from the always injured Hanson who can hold the ball up and bring others into play. Means the ball doesn't stick up front and comes back at you. Matt Green can do half a job but his second touch is usually a tackle. A new strong centre forward is key IMO and IH will know that. |

He's signed all these players so he should be given the chance to work with them because if anyone else comes in they will have to. That doesn't mean it was the right decision to sign them all in the first place. I'd rather have paid twice the money to half the number of players we've signed.

I don't disagree with those points or the need for a hold up striker who actually plays. But in the current absence of that I'd say Windsor and Edwards have a case as being our two best bets if we are playing two up top. |
