Was very happy to get him but he just doesn’t give enough effort each week.
I’d play him on the wing next year and tell him he has a preseason to get ready for it.
He's still in our best lineup, but we just can't utilise him. Our forward structure baffles me. We all run to the same position, we clog up our forward line and bomb it in hoping for miracles.
The guy I reckon who misses out next season is Casboult (McGovern is better held onto given Cas is over 30) if we get Charlie fit. I also think if we can get our forward structure working, Eddie can still play a role. His forward pressure is still there and those assist us in getting goals. And if Cripps could kick a set shot.... well... then anything could happen.
Our major problem though is our midfield. I think this s the reason the ball gets out the back often. I would think 40-50% of goals from free play are out the back goals where they outnumber us goal side. Not helping this is our defenders who don't kill a contest golden fist style. They let it drop over the back for teams to run onto.
Murph needs to be used sporadically next season. He's slow and his ball use has got worse in the past year or so - which when coupled with his lack of pace and inability to get back and help, works against us.
