Duncan Watmore is an 18 year old lad playing in a physical League.
.....Today we played at Vauxhall who are always a very robust physical team and less than 48 hours after the completion of this game we kick off again at home against Chester.
Resting the 18 year old today and replacing him with what some people might consider a more physical player seems to make sense to me....
Ah, I see. So we rest Watmore today and hope the rest of the rabble get us three points cos Vauxhall are sh*te and we bring him back against a good team on Monday and hope to scrape a win. 6 points in the bag! What a genius Len Snottie is!
Realistically shouldn't we have gone all out today to bag the three points and worry about Chester once we've got said three points in the bag? The plan you allude to has no fall-back position once the 3 points are lost today and Duncan is even more knackered having played against grown-ups for 30 minutes today.
I'm thinking of the whole season rather than Monday in particular. Monday was just an example of us playing a theoretically better and less physical side. Incidentally where did I suggest that Vauxhall are sh*te, your words not mine. My issue was Duncan possibly being less suited to the battle than Richman.
However it does seem that you, like some others, intend to twist the meaning of another correspondents post to suit your own agenda. Have you thought of becoming an MP?
The Clitheroe issuse is, IMHO, nugatory. Duncan's pace and movement would enable him, nine times out of ten, to avoid the agricultural centre backs at Clitheroe's level.
Remember please that this is the second level of Football outside the Football League and that Watmore has very limited first team experience
