I think we have hit another crunch time now. Similar to the death throes of 352, the 433 is now not working very well, which granted is mainly down to the loss of Barnes and Phillips but, as neither will be returning anytime soon, we need a change.
Whatever that change is, whether 451 or even a return to 352, Moore needs to act quickly as our home form is becoming embarrassing.
Thankfully, we are still in and around the top 2 so it's not too late, but we do need to kick on now as it will go right to the wire.
I have been impressed with his subs though over the last 2 games, he has acted timely and got them mostly bang on. Last night, Livermore was not just poor but actually a bit of a liability, but there was a time where Moore would have stuck with him, instead he acted and got him off and we looked far better with Barry on the field.
If last night highlighted anything though, it was the weakness in our squad. Livermore, Dawson, Gibbs, Rodriguez and Gayle, all highly cossetted by some, were all poor. Add to that, the new signings Murphy and, to a lesser extent, Johanson were no better and it shows how important it is to find a system that plays to their strengths rather than highlighting their many frailties.
Business end of the season is fast approaching and all sides will be feeling the strain, we need to re-group and come out all guns blazing, starting on Saturday!!!
