Menayese looks every bit a low-rent Nsiala.  Not as quick, not as strong, not quite as good at bringing the ball out....

But he's also probably our best centre-back.  Waterfall is getting slower by the game, I think he's still turning from when the Orient lad dropped a shoulder on him in the 20th minute last night.  Pollock looks the complete opposite of a player who had Premier League teams sniffing around.

If either Waterfall or Pollock were the player of 12 months ago, winning everything in the air and bullying strikers, Menayese would be the perfect compliment to them.  But he's come into a team that's shot of everything at the back and expected to lead it.

Matete is head and shoulders above everyone else in our midfield, but he can't do it all.  He's trying to be the defensive one who protects the back four, the one who does the dirty stuff and hassles teams and then the one who gets it on the deck and turns play over quickly.  Oh and also he's expected to get forward and support the front man too.  Impossible.
