Both Hoole and Gordon have to improve, especially the ability to find the inch perfect cross to Martin as he is often the only Rovers player in the box and marked by 3 defenders.
We just don't have an "out ball". When Joner was in trouble and didn't have a simple pass to Percy, he hit it towards Big Dev and we had a 50/50 chance of getting the ball.
When Gordon is in trouble he nearly often keeps possession but it is sideways or back.
How many times has Finley or Evans been one of the last two players and adopted the quarterback position - only to pass it sideways themselves?
I suspect we will have more options for the defenders to pass to next season.
Personally I would have played Jones the tail end of last season especially rather than wasting money on the 6mth loan at full back we did get. At least we could have seen if he was capable. Despite being rated by the fans, you have to ask why have the last 3 managers rated Gordon higher by selecting him.
