i dont think anybody is a bigger critic of allott than me,but i would like to think im not offensive in my comments for me the oldham game showed allott up badly,he plays relatively deep,never gets forward cannot travel with the ball and has not got any pace whatsoever,we lose a massive offensive threat by playing him and almost invite pressure,for me his role is as a ship steadier coming on to sew up games,its all well and good him making great last ditch tackles but if we pressured teams higher up the field we wouldnt need to make them.Lets face it we are bottom of the league and are playing a 35 year old in what is the key position in any team,for me its time for change we need young blood who are athletic enough to press high up the field,only then will the amount of set pieces and corners conceded be reduced.
