Unbelievably OTT reaction.
We didn't play especially well, but under the circumstances it was to be expected. The two lads who'd never played before looked like they were just finding their feet. They didn't let anyone down at all, but didn't really affect the game. Dale didn't look right from the start to me. He's had a terrific start to the season, but I thought it was obvious he was either very tired, carrying a knock, or both. Col then gets crocked. We end up with Clee down the right and Heffenan up front FFS - to get a draw in those VERY difficult circumstances isn't bad at all.
I concur with the points made about Clee - he did well. That throw is brilliant as well, it's really quick/flat as well as long. Just shows, the getting on his back in August of his first season was f**king ridiculous.
I'd like to see GH get in a left-back on loan if at all possible. I like Doughty at left-mid, but not left-back. Young is brilliant, but I don't like him at left-back. With our current squad, one always has to play in their less useful position. I also think Smithy is a good defender, but a bit short and prone to fouling for a centre back. Ideally I'd move him to the right, Young and Williams in the middle, and then a new left-back.
I appreciate all this is very difficult to achieve on our budget, but if possible GH should do it.
