The same back four started this Season who had played so consistently poorly the previous Season. It’s as simple as that.
Keates attempt to change things around failed preseason and were even more of a disaster in January.
2 consecutive seasons with 2 full backs who couldnt defend and John Guthrie partnered by kids with no experience of league football.
It really is the biggest disgrace in my time watching the Saddlers, that this mob collectively played so many matches yet were so consistently poor.
Kinsella is a ball-winning defensive midfielder, the natural replacement for Adam Chambers. He is not a goal scorer, nor a number 10. He is far better as a defensive midfielder than Dobson, who tries hard but is not as good a tackler, nor as good at holding on to the ball.
One of the many mistakes that did not help our fight against relegation in recent weeks was playing Dobson as the defensive midfielder, where he is not as good as Kinsella, and playing Kinsella as the attacking midfielder, a role he is not well suited to.
