I agree. I would however [as already stated on another topic] keep last nights pairing together. I may be proven wrong but on the evidence of what I saw, there may be a nice partnership being developed between these two players.

In my opinion, Sean Long when fit, he should have to 'fight' for his place. It is Obst who is in the 'driving seat' @ present & it is his to loose.

horne is class and only 27, 6 good years yet he,ll put his injuries behind him

He's 29 and has been plagued by injuries and illness for the last 4 years. There's also rumours that he's playing through the pain again this season and needs another op. Barring a good showing against the Crusaders, what is your basis for being confident that he'll 'put his injuries behind him'?

wether it be horne and long or horne and obst,its got to benefit the club to have 2 options at last at 7.lets just hope horne can have an injury free season now.

There's no basis to think he's over his injuries... likewise there's no basis to think he'll carry on picking up injuries.

I think most on here are just praying that he does keep free of injuries and from what i hear he brought a lot to our performance on Friday.

That is not a rumour, he does need another op on his knee

Seriously?

According to Martin Dunn, said Rich went back to see the specialist and the previous op had not being successful and he needed another op.

Dunny has told loads of people, he loves to gossip about FC

So it's still a rumour then, wether from Dunn or not.

Yes, started by RBA on this board he claimed Dunny had told him. Although interestingly enough when Dunny was asked he said he had not said that to any-one so who knows

whats your basis for saying he wont Mrs Rose Lee??

Credit where credit is due, Horney was good on Friday night. He now just needs to get a bit of a run of games under his belt and hopefully he'll get back to somewhere near the standards that he's capable of.

1000% correct! looked nearly there on friday !!
Last year even through a right drubbin at Wigan away Horne was my man of the match that night by a long way, lets hope he has another one of those world class performances this week !!!

World Class?

Richard is a good player, he's never been world class.

all about opinions but thanks for your imput there
