Quote ="vastman"TBF we were so woefully short of a playmaker that George and Peterson never really got any wortwhile ball. In an ideal world we would have Southernwood and say Rooney doing that. We were also short of players who would add a bit more experience and backbone ie Bibb, Pitts, Murphy and of course sadly Leon Walker but they are due to injuries permanent first teamers.
Basically there wasn't one Academy player who looked anywhere near good enough for first team at the moment - our Academy looks weak especially in the forwards.
Of the first teamers...
Moore so long as he has no adverse reaction to todays game looks ready to return right now, which is quite miraculous.
Peterson and George never really had a chance.
So to Frank - 50/50 on this one. Obviously he is ring rusty and new to the team and probably home sick so we can't judge him too harshly. He showed some nice toches, very good hands but he was certainly blowing and did nothing that was WOW standard. I'd say a steady start but I agree there is no one I would drop for him just yet.
One thing that did worry me was the inclusion of the ginger tank. I know he trys hard and is quite effective in a fashion and fans love him. But I have to ask what is the point in playing him, he is plain fat and not an athlete and unless he radically alters he will never make it. I know it sounds harsh but we are not talking chunky or puppy fat here, he is at a modest estimate 3 stone overweight! Can we not find a more realistic project than this in an area that boast dozens of junior clubs?'"
Please can we not forget that this is the first game back after what I cannot even start to imagine they all went through in the last few weeks, I think like we said about last weeks match we cannot go on what happened today, I was not at the match as I had to work but I know how a few of the players were feeling prior to today
