Shearer stated that Burnley didn’t really give themselves a chance this season, because they kept making the same mistakes over and over again. The mistake? Vincent Company’s insistence on trying to play it out from the back , when as he said, the Burnley players simply aren’t good enough to do that at the PL. so why not mix it up a bit and change it , especially if they kept conceding goals from repeatedly giving the ball away coming out of defence. Any alarms bells ring here ?
The quality of defenders for all the relegated teams was also remarked upon.
You would hope wouldn’t you, that the likes of McKenna and Ashton will be fully aware of what needs to be done to try and minimise Town from repeating the mistakes that have gone before by Sheffield, Luton and Burnley. It’ll be about who we can tempt to join us, as from a players perspective, joining a newly promoted club is a big risk. I just hope the quality of our coaching staff and manager will go a long way towards convincing some players to come here. I also think the regular appearances that the youngsters, Omari and Sarmiento have had at Town will tip the vote for any future young players we may be after.
You all know my feelings re our defenders capabilities, but another thing that really does concern me and I hope we try to remedy is our lack of pace throughout thee team. We have a little bit of pace up front, not much, but we have some. After that , I’m struggling to see too many players throughout the team, that has anywhere near the level of pace to deal wit( the pace we will face in the PL. There’s nothing in midfield , so we would be easily over run . We often were caught on the break at Championship level, and even Maidstone made us look like statues, so a fear what even bog standard PL players will do to us. We must, IMHO get pace through the spine of the team. Not an easy task, but what that’s got to be achieved I feel if we are to survive.
COYBS…. We are Premier League
