Josh is one of the better defensive Wingers out there, considering his age. He is immaculate under the high ball also. If you look at him from the 2011 season compared to now, you will see how far his defence has come.

In regards to his injury, nothing has been mentioned post match or otherwise, so I would assume he's okay with it.

Was he good defensively when he shot off his wing to defend Meli for the first try last night, leaving Swift with a simple walk in?

I give up, mods can you delete this?

any one else notice that even before the injury Josh hardly took the ball up at all? Thought he was very quiet, and possibly nursing something?

Did you see how Wilkin stood on his hand too?

Yes I saw Wilkin accidentally connect with his hand whilst making a tackle. And it was more of a kick than a stand/stamp.

So you are saying that Wiklin kicked Charley while on the floor accidentally? I thought you had played this game.

I've played it for a good 22 years.

Firstly, I am not sure who Wiklin and Charley are. However, what I am saying is that in the act of assisting Swift with the tackle on Charnley, Wilkin appeared to accidentally kick Charnley in the wrist area.

Look at Wilkin's eyes and where he is looking. That will give an indication of his intentions.

Those blades on modern boots are dangerous IMHO. Will hurt like hell.

I remember McIlorums eyes looking toward the play the ball on Good Friday, and colliding with Wellens, but there were Saints fans writing to every source saying that he had decapitated Wellens.

I believe you were one of the hanging judges.

I wasn't. I didn't see the incident at the game clearly and I didn't see any replays of it, therefore couldn't pass judgement on what punishment, if any, that creature should receive.

Put a good centre inside him and watch him become the greatest winger in the league, Josh is outstanding, Daz isn't.

Daz is clearly playing through injury. His defensive positioning is second to none in this league and imo his centreplay has been better than, say, Gleeson's ever was for us.

Oh look, the Wenger defense....

Goulding and Charnley are usually solid, but both appear to have been trying to play through injury over the majority of the season. Seems unfair that Sam gets rested when he has niggles but Charnley's still out there every game.
