Thought Logan was very nervous. Ditto McAuley, Kisnorbo and Johansson. They played like they were cacking themselves under a bit of pressure.
Our midfield and forward line are poor but good enough. We'd have won today but for the defence display. What we need is character at the back. We're not going to score 3's and 4's in games so we need clean sheets. That lot won't concede less than 2 a game from here on in. Put the two factors together and we're in in it deep.
NW has to find a back four with the ability to keep a couple of clean sheets. We have the following (assuming Kenton's out for the season with that hamstring): Stearman (having a shocking season and making elementary errors in every single game), Maybury (playing very poorly and liable to make a number of shocking decisions a game), McAuley (appears to be struggling badly for fitness and not mentally tough), Kisnorbo (for me, the most consistently poor player positionally and form is on the slide alarmingly), Johansson (has been solid enough this season generally but has been awful in the last few games). Apart from that, we've just got some kids who we could gamble with.
If NW can get a couple of clean sheets out of that lot, he's worthy of one hell of a bonus.
