MalcSB - Yes, but although perhaps he was a disappointment for us - his experience with us may have been a learning curve and helped kick his career on. Despite the disappoinment with us there were signs he had ability and a player of quality was there.

I thought that idea was for goalkeepers wasting time at goal kicks and free kicks?

I'm not bitter about him leaving or who he went to. But I do feel he was over rated. After his injury he wasn't everywhere and pressurising.

No it wasnt

Has an extra skill he shouldn't be criticised for, to our benefit

O'Hare 20 matches 2 goals 3 assists Rudoni 20 matches 2 goals 5 assists Yet O'Hare is in the better team.

No chance and knee jerk nonsense

They did the double over us last season, in similar circumstances when Viveash was coaching. Just for balance

We couldn't get automatics at the start of the season.

What about PVA's dead gran though?

It wasn't all bad tonight, lots of good points. WBA looked nothing special. They got lucky with the first goal massive deflection.

He pushes up and offers an outlet to the central defenders. No different to a mid dropping deeper. It's all swings and round abouts. But he offers options more consistently than others.

Bidwell always puts himself in a position to receive a pass.

Richard Shaw thought he was outstanding especially in the closing stages when our backs were against the wall. Let's be honest Richard Shaw knows a thing or two about good defending and coaching. He knows what to look for. He also said he was doing a lot of organizing of the defence.
