We really do need another player (probably striker) to start sharing the burden of scoring goals. We cannot rely solely on Kosta. There were plenty of if only moments today but as others have said, our bench offered absolutely nothing and made us weaker. That’s the third game we’ve gifted opposition this season. Not because they played better, but because we were sloppy. That 20 min period before half time, we were fantastic and relentless . But if we’re going to have those periods sporadically, we need to take our chances and other than Kosta, I’m not sure we’ve got that person.
Agree with all the above but want to comment on the first sentence. I expect that the reason we recruited Ishige is to provide that role upfront (what Old would normally do). Ishige is an excellent player but if you look at him closely you will see that his unselfishness may be a disadvantage in this team setup. He always seems to think in terms of a team action and is let down by someone else's lack of reading his move correctly. I would prefer Chiefy to give Ishige a bit more of a free reign; he has better potential than he shows at present.
