In our Defensive Foursome.....

[Greengrass]

I dont think you can blame last nights loss on Injuries. Only Braich made his Debut last night and hes been in the frame for weeks. We were missing our best centre back and forward and didn't have as much depth on the bench but to be fair the starting 11 still looked decent.

Despite being the managers nephew, why is Ricky Browne in the team? he was to blame for the first two goals last night and to be honest he hasn't performed all season. Our good spell came when he was injured.

Why bring Mark Bartley back? He couldn't cut it before and he definately looked like he couldn't cut it this time.

 

Is Browne finally on his way?

I thought Braich was our second best player at the time he was substituted. I see he was treated after leaving the pitch so I hope he was so injured he couldnt carry on - although he seemed to be moving freely enough. If not I cannot understand why Wilko who was our best player, and was dominating midfield, should be dropped back to defence and Bartley brought on. We totally lost the plot after that substitution.

Spot on Paul,

Braich certainly didn't look injured, and itall went to pot after he went off. Defence lost concentration, and we stopped creating up front as a lot was going past Wilko. Maybe I was being optimistic in thinking we were going to go on & win given our shooting on Tuesday, but they seemed to have no idea how to beat us.

I just hope someones bought some Lemsip for the weekend.

I think little Wilko (Rav) was also feeling the effects of a flu bug and was borderline to have made the side.
