Harvie was dreadful yesterday. I know Lewington got some stick on here but I thought harvie was hopeless defensively and going forwards yesterday. Tomlinson out is a huge miss for us. There are no easy answers but I would have Norman in that back 3. The o ‘ hora, tucker, Lewington combo is the combo that constantly crumbled last season and earlier this season. It doesn’t work for whatever reason.
5 against Stockport, 4 against Mansfield and 3 against notts- I do fear for us in the play offs as we are so weak at the back against decent sides in this league. Doncaster murdered us away this season even when they were not on form.
I'd honestly use the next 2 games to try something new at LWB. It's a massive issue for us and I genuinely believe a key difference between us going up or not.
With the CAM options we have on the bench, I'd love to see what Gilbey can do there. He is a very similar type of player to Tomlinson.
Of course, you're then losing the influence of Gilbey further up the field, but you could have Harrison leading the line with Dean and Wearne/Kemp/Tezgel in behind. Or you keep Dean leading with 2 of those 3 behind him.
