[Bear Town Robin]

Rod has consistently looked the liveliest player when he's been on the pitch whether he comes on from the bench or on his rare starts. This also seems to have a similar effect on other players and we look like a team that can create more. If it is simply down to havinmg Colin and Joe up front then he has proved more than capable of playing a useful role on the wing. Alternatively, is it simply down to fitness? This is the only reason I can think of that would prevent him from playing more but I would've expected him to be one of the fittest players we have giving his involvement with that side of things for Utd and England? Can anyone shed any light on this?

[Leighton_Alty]

that is exactly what i think, he is a quality player for the confernce, like when he came on against tamworth the team just started to play football, i dont know what it is about him but he always seem to get the team going!

[Bear Town Robin]

Also, forgot to add that if its simply so we have someone who can change things from the bench...we have proved this season that we are more effective at holding a lead that chasing one!

[Leighton_Alty]

true true

[Bear Town Robin]

clutching at straws here but does his job at utd prevent him from attending training?

[Leighton_Alty]

ermm maybe sometimes, because utd have training everyday dont they, so maybe

[Cadiz Alty]

he will have a chance on sat against aldershot
lets hope he does not blow like his one on one chance with the keeper yesterday

Re. Thornley

(a) He is never fit enough;

(b) He rarely lasts for 90 minutes when he starts;

(c) his finishing ability has been in decline for some time, as demonstrated by his poor control when clean through on goal at Tamworth yesterday;

(d) recent injuries have deprived him of that key burst of pace that he possessed when he first arrived at Moss Lane.

[Alty Dave]

I think generally the Cult is correct.

He cannot last 90 mins, but I would consider giving him 60+ agianst the shots, we will need to win.

The injuries have deprived him of pace, but your touch only comes when playing more often.

[T.A]

Rod and colin should start on saturday because we seem to get more chances when rods playing

[Bear Town Robin]

My question then is "why is he never fit enough?"

[bighairedmike]

ermm maybe sometimes, because utd have training everyday dont they, so maybe

i heard that it is only during the day and finishes about 6 (ish). dont know wot time our training starts but i dont think missing training becoz of involvement at utd is reeli true. i may be wrong though.

[Altysmiffy]

My question then is "why is he never fit enough?"

Maybe just too many injuries.

[lukealty12]

United train 10 untill 12 i see rod there all the time.
