for me any player who is quite willing to walk up and down the touch line and watch the other members of the team play their hearts out while scratching his lazy ar*e is not a man I want to see at Saints.

Not commit two defensive howlers per GF?



I can just imagine it now. Gary Schofield readying himself for the start of a game [iwhilst mulling over whether looking for the ball inside could realistically achieve anything.[/i



Did you tell this to Martin Offiah, Jason Robinson, Alan Hunte, Phil Ford etc. who when not scoring outside for fun often came inside for the ball to case havoc?



The spotlight IS on Moore. But Moore can at least claim he hasn't dropped a (try-conceding) clanger in every prior GF against Leeds.



You're confusing playing well with [iplaying to win[/i.

The other games are irelivent this thread is about tonight


Meli isnt the cause of our loss tonight,our forwards didnt play well enough,after an outstanding your for Lomax and Gaskel they lacked ideas and spark tonight and lets not forget stupid penalties ( Moore,Soliola and a couple of others ) also injuries.There are lots of reasons for tonight but lets just lump them all on Meli huh.I suppose that makes it easier than actually having to deal with what went wrong.

Meli - useless at Old Trafford and has not looked interested foor 3-4 weeks.

Why did we keep Flannery? Could have let him go and brought in a cheap back a la Carmont style

Said by you on the Moore thread but also relevant here.

I think we kept him because he's cheap, non quota and the is a lack of quality players available.

Who could we of signed bearing in mid it would have to be a british player ?

Is not good enough now.

Nor Flanno now

Let him go

We cant just bin him without paying him and we cant afford to do that.

And he's makes up the squad. We can't just have 17 players and bin everyone else.

Flannery will be squad player as the is nothing else out there.

Is this where the wheeler side thread starts?
