We have a brand new team but unfortunately it’s the likes of Ralls and NG who weaken is when playing. I honestly think NG is not good at all at centre back and is out of his depth
We’re all entitled to our opinions, however I couldn’t disagree with your comments about NG anymore.
He gets beaten in the air more than a taller centre back would do granted, however because of his exceptional reading of the game, he cuts out a lot of danger before it becomes a problem.
NG along with Kipre is also our strongest central defender bringing the ball out of defence. Countless times this season I’ve seen him bring the ball out from defence, and we’ve started attacks from it.
I think he’s more comfortable in the modern game in the middle of defence (whether that’s a 3 man or 2 man central defence).
Ralls I partially agree with you based on the first game I seen him play this season, however he seems to be getting stronger as he’s getting fitter.
Can’t remember if it was the last game, or the game before but he had a much better game compared to the beginning of the season.
Summing everything up, it will take time for this team to click. I do think we’re in for a rough few months, however I do feel when the second half of the season kicks in, we will hit top form and surprise a lot of teams!
Seen enough quality in flashes during the first 8 games to suggest we will have a strong second half of season IF we stick with Morison.
