Fantastic  result today much down to densmore picking the team I expected  a hamering
So something to build on we look better already

It's come to something when a 1-0 defeat can be described as fantastic....

Best performance  of the season what's up with ya

[Eightiesrobin]

Well, I suppose so, but that's defining good as the absence of bad, which is, by definition, not good.

It is too. At least half full.

First time I've seen us play this season today and we exceeded my very low expectations:

Dawber: one decent save and one good clearance coming off his line but absolutely no presence in the area and too small to get hold of any crosses - I think he caught one cross all day despite them having numerous corners.

Sumner: Woeful, too slow and poor positioning, skinned every time - I'd play anyone ahead of him
Heathcote: did OK, drifted inside slightly too often but only to be expected of a natural centre half playing full back
Cyrus and Moran:  Looked OK today

Lawrie: tried hard, made a good tackle at left back - we all know what you get from him
Richman: again what you would expect, lots of energy and good defensively but nothing creative and not a winger
Moult: MoM took on their midfield single handed
Lynch: totally anonymous, I didn't see him do anything wrong but then I don't remember him doing anything at all which is terrible for a central midfielder

Reeves: again what you would expect, ran his heart out but no service
Sinclair:  you a couple of headers but again no service so not sure he can be judged on that basis

B H-C: looked OK but as others have said very lightweight
Hattersley won some flick ons but not enough to judge

Overall we held our shape OK and looked reasonable defensively.  Going forward we created absolutely nothing.

We need a new keeper, left back and a creative winger (although we may have one of those on the injury list)

I didn't make yesterday, but it's good to know that somebody whose judgement  I trust agrees largely my previously expressed views....particularly with regard to Sumner and Lynch.

Dawber's size shouldn't be an issue. Your Dad (give him my regards) will remember the diminutive Willie Mailey, who could leap like a salmon.
