Yeah I must admit at around 75 mins I conceded a point would be great. Not because I thought we'd lose, but because I couldn't see us winning and we'd leave ourselves open and that's what happened.
I might be missing something but I am starting to find the Gilbey on the wing thing really distracting. He worked his ass off don't get me wrong, tried his best and has cropped up with a good few goals from that position so in that aspect its working. But I do feel he'd score if he had a central role with license to go forward, think he and Payne are suited to each others roles better but what do I know.
And as previously mentioned, it isn't because it's them so much its Morecambe, Barrow and this that is totalling up. Some of Graham Alexander's final words were; "we have unbelievable ways of shooting ourselves in the foot" and, yeah..
I think we need Payne in that CDM position. We don't have anyone else in the team, Bate included, that is as good as him at linking defense to attack. Can't remember the game, but we did play him further him recently and it didn't work. He was far less influential and we looked worse off.
Neither Gilbey or Kemp should be on the wings, are we have WB's for that. They should both be playing a free role, where they occasionally go out wide but also play directly behind the striker. Saying that, I honestly have no idea what Gilbey's best position would be. He's good at everything, but rarely great.
