To be fair, MW said the County result was on him.
I completely agree. I just hope its for the reasons we all think:
1. Playing Marschall over Kelly
2. Playing Wearne as LWB rather than moving Harvie back to that position and putting Lewie in as LWB.
3. Generally favouring attack at the expense of defence.
..But I doubt it.
The whole Wearne at left back thing is just crazy, especially away from home. As soon as that line up went out, seeing Marschall in goal and Wearne at LWB, you just knew we were in for a tough time. I know managers know a lot more than us about football and the tactical side of things, but this is definitely something we got right and Williamson got wrong. I know its easy to say we were right after the game, but this was all called well before. We'd seen the GK and we'd see Wearne play LWB previously and it just doesn't work at all.
I've definitely lost a bit of faith in MW after yesterday. I gave him the benefit of the doubt when he played Wearne at LWB before, but to do it again yesterday and persist for the whole game is insanity.
He doesn't want to play Lewi though, unfortunately. He's yet to learn that what Lewi lacks in speed/agility, he makes up for in defensive awareness and positioning.
We win that game yesterday with Kelly in goal and Lewi on the pitch with Harvie at LWB. Manager has cost us 2 points and remaining chance of auto's.
