Vocal leadership missing

[Tarquin]

Last night I was worried about our lack of vocals on the park and on the sidelines. We have lost it on the park due to injuries to Westwood , Hutch , Bannon  and Hooper. 

The spine has been ripped out and the replacements wouldn`t  say boo to a goose. Reach is a good player who has actually improved this season IMO but he would send a debating society to sleep , Jones is like a flat footed ballet dancer who turns like a man trapped between two walls. Butterfield is batting time out . Rhodes is struggling to get into games but gives thumbs up to balls sailing over his head that Mick the Miller  couldn`t catch, the goal against Villa away was the only "Rhodes " type of service that I have seen him have since he signed . 

From the sidelines there is little motivation, Jos just seems to stand/ sit there saying nowt , last night you could hear big Mick all over the ground as he directed his team what to do  and made a sub on 24 mins that arguably changed the game . Even if it was through an injury Sears  set about Loovens with a passion who looked in trouble for the rest of the game .

Roll on the return of the strong characters as without them we are like a slow  man with no teeth trying to  chase the other team but can only give them a nasty suck when he can catch them .

Oh for a Mick Lyons

Vocal leadership is increasingly rare, in top level football

 

For various reasons, academies don't produce those kind of 'men' anymore
