Quote: Scarlet Pimpernell "I think the team today shows that Webster makes his team selection based on the opposition rather than a name or what some of our couch coaches think. I wonder if the usual suspects will crawl from the shadows to berate Mathers or Washbrook's performances today.
I notice a thread was started criticising the dropping of Walshaw at the expense of Lynne but we won so must give Webster credit for being his own man.'"
I didn't start the Walshaw thread to criticise Lyne being included. I was at the time I posted it merely pointing out that imo it was a harsh decision to leave Walshaw out based on recent performances.
I am sure I was not alone pre kick off in holding that view.
As it happens Lyne came in and had a good came as did Mathers and even Scruton looked better. All that said does not mean that previous criticism of those players performances were not justified. In fact, if anything them playing like that shows that past criticism was correct.
