Donaldson tackles very well, unlike walker ,but offers nothing else

Time to let both go

If we are calling for Donaldson to be brought back into the team we are in trouble

We were shown up tonight all over the field

Quote: Bull Mania "Thought i was watching Mike Worrincy again. Awful defending yet again from him!!! 3 weeks in a row Walker has produced non-existent defence. Him and Olbison were like the chuckle brothers in the first half. Totally unacceptable that at this level they produce defending like that. Cummings NEEDS to bring in Donaldson, drop Walker. Hopefully Batemans back as well to replace Olbison'" CUMMINS en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Francis_Cummins

Disagree, Donaldson runs hard onto the ball, how often did Walker and Olbison take the ball in?

Agree with this - how can you say all he does is tackle well when its not exactly like he's been given a chance to do ought at the minute is it !!!!

Give him some game time and would be a good player for us

Let's agree to disagree,I don't rate addy or Donaldson, obviously some people do

No problem

I think Donaldson has the potential to become a very good player as long as he gets game time,

but as for Addy i too dont really rate him - i think Addy seems hot and cold but mainly just seems to play well against the lesser/lower league positioned opposition and doesnt really bring much when we play the big guns (mind you saying that neither has anyone else really have they LOL)

Given our lack of funds and late start to the recruiting this season it seems clear we have several players who would be considered "good squad" members who we seem to expect to be front line stars and match winners. Cannot say I enjoyed the score last night but as in the last two matches we have just about kept some respectabilty and not ended up shipping a 40+ drubbing.

Chev has been poor these last few weeks but last night he was dreadful.

On the other point about Addy and Donaldson, it would be a huge mistake not for the club not to keep faith with these lads in the mistaken belief that we could go out and sign better. Donno hasn't had enough game time since the injury and Addy has done nothing wrong covering in the halves.

Addy should be given a chance at LF and drop Chev, Has that man got some photos of Franny the world must not see. Donno needs a chance to prove himself he runs his blood to water for the club.

Chev Walker needs to be dropped along with Diskin, as soon as Stranger came on we looked far sharper in attack (maybe not in defence) It`s time to clear these over the hill players out. Why Franny wont play Donaldson is baffling, he is the only back row forward who knows how to tackle, also he tears into the line with the ball in hand.
Our marking at the play the ball last night was abysmal, Burrows constantly made 15 to 20metres from acting half putting us constantly on the back foot. Olbison had a nightmare but he is young and should be given time to develop. I just can`t figure wether Addy is a SL player, his defence is poor and he does not think quick enough with ball in hand against the better teams.

Agree with nearly all of the above

At the beginning of the season Chev was on fire, I am not sure what has happened in the last few games.

I'm not sure getting knocked out twice in the same game and playing on helped!

I can't understand Walker, to be fair. Earlier in the year I would have said he was one of the unsung heroes and was running around, well maybe not [iquite[/i like a spring chicken, but certainly with a purpose and looking a real asset. It does seem to have gone downhill though.

Agree about Addy and Donno, both need time. Donno, in particular, has had some horrendous injuries but seems to be coming on steadily for my money and Danny's immediate problem is that he has been playing out of position and he really needs to get back to what he does best. Like you, I think the idea of letting them go and recruiting 'better', for the same money, isn't a viable proposition.

Walker did play well but he appears unable to ride the knocks the game gives. When discussing him he is nearly always carrying some injury or other.

Agree on Addy and Donno and also Olbison who is getting a bit of stick. A key problem we have is that we don't have enough players and against the better sides the front row gets pasted. If you look at the number of tackles Addy has made playing in the halves it's actually a very good stat. These lads are not the problem.
