Probably repeating what others have said, but for what it's worth.... I'll start with a positive - I was encouraged by what I saw in the 2nd half yesterday, I've not seen us dominate a game away from home like that for a while. The key to it was getting Varane on the pitch - was he really only fit enough for a cameo? That said, it does mean we need our better players on the pitch and playing in their proper positons.
What cost us yesterday, IMHO was team selection. I've no individual criticism of Morgan - he's promising young player and I like him a lot. He's being asked to play in an unfamiliar position and he's making a decent fist of it. But we signed a full back in the summer (Adamson) to cover Dunne. I don't understand why we played Putman at Plymouth If we weren't going to play Adamson here.
Also, taking our quickest CB and putting him at LB - why not play Esquerdinha? He's done okay so far and was also rested in midweek...If not him then why not Vale ?- who I thought was one of our better players playing there at Plymouth.
Some muddled thinking on team selection and it cost us yesterday.
Exactly! 3.5m for a player with zero goals in 23 appearances for us - seems a good deal from where I'm sitting. A shame he didn't sign a new contract with us as we'll never know how good he might have become, but such is life. All we have to do now, is spend the money wisely.......
So sorry for your loss Stu. It's 6 years since I lost mine - every time I'm at HQ I feel his presence...I'm sure you will experience that too. Thinking of you... Ian
Was it Scorcher & Score that had Jimmy and Jack Chelsey - Jimmy played for - I think it was Castleburn City and Jack for Castleburn United? There were other fictitious teams in their stories - anyone remember?
