I think a serious problem is the make up of the midfield. We were dominated in possession (at home) against a really poor Stevenage side to be honest. That’s an issue - especially when our plan this season has been to play out.
In my humble opinion… that’s because the combination of Kinsella and Labadie isn’t right as the 2 in a 4231.
It’s one or the other for me. I have been saying this for about 3 years. We seem incapable of controlling a game, and we haven’t had a midfielder who can push up and occasionally pass through, or get in the box since Mantom. That’s a really big problem.
I think MT knows this, and that’s why he tried a more creative option in Osadebe in the 2 for a couple of games, but he’s clearly not got the ability to play that role, so Matt has had to resort to Labadie and Kins.
