Of all our outfield players, only Waterfall was taller than 6ft. They meanwhile had no less than 6 who met the criteria. I think it’s no coincidence that we’ve performed better against teams in higher divisions this season. We’re a decent, hard working team, but we badly lack the physicality needed to perform consistently in League Two. Of course it’s not as simple as signing a load of 6ft 5” lumps, but it is something we need to address in the summer. A smooth sea never made a skillful mariner.

To be honest the little fella they had yesterday (Greaves?) did very well, in a game that was hard to excel in. ‘I just f*cking threw myself at it’ Mani D 23 May 2022

It’s not easy when you’re a midfielder looking to play forward when the movement around you is poor either. Lloyd was very effective at moving two centre backs around at Crewe but was bullied out of it yesterday and, sad to say that McAtee seemed to lose interest too. Talking to someone after the game, they made the point that taking Hunt off at half time actually made us worse.

There have been several matches this season that we've taken points because our midfield has outran and outfought the opposition. Newport away, Holohan was immense and Harry and Morris got the goals that won it. Stockport away again, midfield was absolutely boss. Both Luton games, both Crewe games, Walsall away... basically every time we've won the midfield has been very good. A good midfield is a unit not a single player. I'd argue that we've dropped points more due to defensive errors and a lack of creativity or being clinical than we have through poor midfield endeavour.
