It's not just our catching at full back either from bombs. We seem really laboured when chasing a long kick back from them, mostly we allow it to bobble and bounce. Most other sides would stand 10 yards deeper and come forward to meet the ball on the full.

Couldn't agree more with all of that. I for one think Horney is playing well and improving in every game. I've liked Phelps so far but for me we need a little bit more from our FB. If he improves and provides this then he may change my mind.

About time we pushed Cunningham/Kent/Green into the 1st team and see how their full time contracts have progressed them.

Exactly my point - we looked awful ; painfully slow and not what you would expect in SL.

Having watched it back I'm wondering if Whiting missed the ball bouncing and thought he'd get head and feed by catching a ball 'out on the full' as it were. He has both feet squarely over the line which seems odd to have happened by mistake.

I think you are spot on there kosh

Does he protest the decision though ?
