For the second week running M Phillips came short and played a simple link with another player who released him down the right, where he crossed and Reid should’ve scored. He came short and linked once in the whole second half (I didn’t watch the first half, life is too short).

Last week he came short ONCE in the entire game, dropped his shoulder and released Roberts with a lovely ball inside the full back.

Twice in two games I’ve seen us play to his undoubted strength. He played both full 90 minutes. The fact is they are coached to be massively conservative even in the opposition’s half. This has to be a choice - the modern obsession with keeping possession even if it means Pidge and Marschall have the ball way too much. Either that or the players simply aren’t footballers with any nouse. Either way, this is the reason for me were so frustrating to watch. I’m not asking for shit or bust football, far from it. If M Phillips is playing at 10, or Kemp, FFS use them.
