Well were winning 2-0 until he came on but to early to comment and the goals were not his fault.

i think i saw battersby and rusk having a good natter in the centre circle during the warm up. must have felt a bit strange for them.

Impossible to judge him based on today, we saw basically none of the ball while he was on.

Braysons a fat lazy little sh*t who is a waste of space.

Elliott had a very good game spraying the ball around and setting Yorks tempo. He and Manny Panther comeplement each other perfectly in midfield.

Didn't notice Rusk.

We conceded a 2 goal lead when Battersby came on. TO be fair I think this was more to do with the player he replaced than he himself. Liam King isn't a stand out player or one that looks like he is dominating midfield but that boy really gets aboout. he's very mobile and covers a lot of gaps.

So were King and Senior replaced because they were tired, injured or the management team wanted to change the shape? If nothing had been changed might we have held on to the lead?

I think King is a bit like Bushell was when we first got him on loan. Nothing spectacular about his play but its great to have a composed figure in the midfield who makes important tackles and makes really simple passes.
