I liked big Joe and wouldn’t have minded keeping him but if we struggle in the league, he will become Maldini instead of the decent but relatively slow centre half he actually is.
We were gash today, no question but releasing him is not even in the top 10 reasons why we lost today.
We lacked any sort of creativity and Grieve for all his efforts is not going to score enough at this level, Madron probably won’t either but at least he has the excuse of being new.
As a team we are not set up to have a lot of possession so I’m expecting to see a different shape and performance at ER next month.
Bad day at the office but we didn’t become a bad team over the summer, onwards and upwards.
