unusual to see him subbed though

He should have been taken off at half time, he did absolutely nothing, again, but in answer, he didn't look injured no limping etc.

He was outplayed by Preston as well. he's just not strong enough to be in a championship midfield.
You have to win the midfield battle Allen is not capable of this

He was outplayed by Preston as well. OK he's a good just not strong enough to be in a championship midfield. Most teams have sussed him out, and though Clucas is good at going forward, as a pair they are just not strong enough v most teams, we have seen it for most of the season. I think Cousins will come back in, not that I think he's the answer. We were too lightweight today, everybody slagging off the defence but they skipped through our midfield with ease, no protection for the defence from the midfield. Powell and Ince are not going give much help either. |

I said on Wednesday, we don't have a hatchet man in the middle. I don't mean a complete animal in the Kennedy mould but someone who will put a foot in like Pearson did. Cousins isn't shy, gets a good foot in and does the dirty stuff quite well but can't pass or dribble for toffee.
MON has a rebuilding job on regardless of which division we end up in.

Like the last 5 years we need a proper DM desperately.

Like the last 5 years we need a proper DM desperately. I agree with this Bayern, neither Allen or Clucas are natural holding midfielders, they are both better box to box. Cousens certainly looks a better tackler/defender, but doesn't seem to have the positional nous. |

He must have been injured, when he failed to put in a tackle on their player in the build up to their second. No other explanation. Or perhaps he's just shit.

I don’t get how we haven’t signed a player that can do but have signed so many box to boxers in this time. |
