Message: [QUOTE="DoctahLexus, post: 5462069, member: 6798"] I am sure most of that was based on the strength of our starting midfield, but as hard as we were on the second midfield aside from Anderson, guys who are farther down the depth chart on a teams reserve middies often have similar stats. Cornell and MD had a similar drop after their top 3-4 guys, for instance. There appear to be very few 2nd line middies on the list that have points in the 20s. We also had guys like Birtwistle and Deere taking some 2nd line mins earlier in the season. McCarthy and Hottle were often able to rotate the defense with their speed, which is crucial in our offense, but the shooting left a lot to be desired. I think Hottle in particular has more to offer and will have a strong showing next season. Despite his small size, I would not say his issue was having too slow of a shot. McCarthy needs to figure out his shooting or he should be used more on the wing/ssdm next season. [/QUOTE]
