we are trying to fit players that are not up to scratch in key positions, walker is a good full back but is still learning and when he is out we have to pick golding as he is the next best defensively [ i'd even consider sutcliffe there as he did ok when required]
in the halves we simply do not have 2 players in the squad good enough to hold down the shirt in either position
would moving parcell or dwyer in at 6 or 7 makes us defend better and maybe partner one of those with ward when fit?
every team we play knows where to target, we are soft down the middle and really soft on goal line defence
while i can understand the furner out brigade its not down to him, he inherited a squad of players which are not up to scratch and we need to judge him at this stage next year once we have got rid of the dead wood and he has signed players he wants

I wasn't splitting hairs, I just thought it was too nice a word

No Hubris and arrogance are synonyms. They mean near enough exactly the same.

Whhooooooosssssshhhhhh.

You can write "Whhooooooosssssshhhhhh" all you like, you're not back peddling from splitting hairs now.

wish I had hairs to split......
