He was rubbish. As a number 7 he should be setting up plays that involve a number of players. That way he would have options and then he just needs to pick the right pass. All we do is just drive it in or the odd drop off.

**** off

the guy is sadly playing under cack coach who is employed by a cack board

Fault lies with the owners of this club, the problems are deep rooted, very deep rooted, the aministration and owners of my club are a disgrace

Very well said!! Don't wish injuries, but Long just clearly doesn't want to play for us....

Obst has been far better in 3 games than Long in his entire duration!!

Nope cos hes employed by the club, EVERYTHING off the pitch is a joke, nothing on the pitch will improve untill the administration change

Long was thrown in tonight because of his name and not peformance.. whilst Obst has looked a better option at 7 in the last 2 games..

Should have stuck with him as long was rubbish tonight..no organisition,no leadership,crap kicking...awful.

Nearly everything went through horne, we seemed to only be capable when swinging it to his side. Long was OK in the first half but offered absolutely nothing in the second. The lines most players ran all night were dreadful.

Could his mind be elsewhere now Eastmond is in trouble

halfbacks need options he had very few

Agree, but why change a promising half back pairing, given more time I think Obst/Horne will go better.
We have no dummy runners to help out whatever half back plays.
Slinging long balls along the line is easy for a sliding defence.
What concerns me is the breaks we made and the way Wakey were able to turn and catch us, thus contributing to us making rash passes when in the clear.

With Long on the bench I think Obst and Horne would have had us in a winning position in the first half and help to ease Long back to match fitness, typical lack of thought from out coach.

Have to disagree there, Paul. He had glimpses in the game, played better in the second before he went off, had a half break to put Westy through and tried to take the line on a bit. But that's it. He certainly didn't do enough.

Horney for me played his heart out, but nobody was with him on his runs.
