brilliant as it was from Willock, completely shows the problems with either our tactics or personnel.
Willock picked the ball up in his own half, he wasnt out wide, but drove through the centre of our midfield with the only challenges coming from our right wingback and right centre half. Where was Howson? where was crooks? Where was the centre back coming out to face up to him (considering he ran from his own half the tackles were from the wrong side).
It was just like Preston. We cannot go away from home and play like that.
Howson is a massive plus in there against teams who attack us with balls on the ground, turning defence into attack. However other than Huddersfield, it doesn't work often enough.
Away from home we need a more athletic, destructive and defensive minded midfielder or a replacement who can do what Tav did. Tavs work rate and pace bailed us out on so many occasions and it was obvious to see when he moved to wingback that the midfield didn't work last season.
I know I sound like a broken record but he shouldn't have been allowed to leave without some kind of replacement being brought in, there are too many points at stake.
Great strike from Willock though.
