Scandalous that RTF when you consider the players from the past we’ve had. Sir Nat obviously, Wyn Davis, SKD, BSA and even the washing machine. There are far too many to name but this must arguably be the most inept squad we’ve ever had in aerial terms? At least Doyle was honest enough to admit he was a rubbish header, so you have to give him that at least. As I’ve pointed out several times in posts, if we stick with the same squad next year, the same ineptitude will prevail. Santos, assuming he’s still here, is still going to be clueless and neither Aimson nor Johnson are going to grow a few inches. Bod looks half decent and I’m sure Charles will be ok if he gets a few chances but that’s about it. Baka, Kachunga and Dapo are as good in the air as a chocolate fire guard so from where are we going to improve that ratio? It’s not just up top though is it? Look how many headers we’ve conceded from the back stick and every time the opposition get a corner or free kick you fear the worst and it’s a struggle to get the ball clear.
As a big, physical defender himself it absolutely amazes me that Evatt can preside over a team so woeful at heading. Surely he sees it yet he seems to make no effort to improve it? I remember when he first came in, he brought together 4 mountains as defenders in Rico, Taft, Greenidge and Delaney and we all expected to prosper from an aerial assault on teams but how wrong we were! I fear for us next year if he doesn’t fix it in the summer because surely it must be an obvious deficiency in the team? L1 isn’t all about pretty football, it’s as much about pure graft on crappy pitches and in inclement weather and we’re just not equipped for it. Now we have Senior back, Aimson would be the one to go for me in exchange for a big, no nonsense CH who can deliver in both boxes. Lots of teams seem to have one so it’s not like we’d have to break the bank and he wouldn’t have to be a pretty footballer, just one who can get the ball and give it to those who are. Does Evatt see it? I don’t know but if he doesn’t then for me he’s not the manager he thinks he is.
