Our first 7 results last year 0v2, 1v4, 2v2, 2v3, 0v1, 0v1, 0v2 and that with a much more experienced team.
In my opinion it’s too early to judge. We don’t know and I’m sure Cox doesn’t know yet which of these players are good enough for a regular spot in the team. Hippolyte was praised in the first game and poor in the third. Loft – good and bad games. Spence and Vincent – first 3 matches together.
His priority surely is to get off to a decent start and then see where we are when our more experienced players return.
The defence has 2 young full backs, one making his debut and the other playing out of position. It’s surely not surprising that Cox is being cautious and the team played to hang on to their lead. If he had done otherwise people would have complained about giving away a late goal.
See where we are after 10 games. Hopefully the team will be more confident and Cox will have more trust to send them out with attacking intent when he thinks the defence and keeper are reliable.
“the Government are changing things by the day, they in my opinion have made a hell of a mess with the situation, and the sad thing is that any other party would be just as bad”.
You are right about the mess. One thing I know for certain if any other party were trying to deal with it. There would NOT be millions (possibly billions) of taxpayers money spent on Covid banked and never to return in off shore tax haven bank accounts!!
I also have major concerns about the keeper, but the rest of the interview was encouraging. If Cox and Lillis can get this team fully fit and play fast paced attacking football there is hope for the new season.
Hopefully the days of buying players in their mid 30s has gone.
