Horne didn't play HB. He played hooker.

Horne has been average for a long time now 3yrs at least (when you can get him on the field). I agree with you about playing him out of position but clearly our 6 and 7 situation wasn't that bad if we didn't put our 'first choice' 6 there, so we shouldn't have risked it.. And no, i'm not basing it on one performance. check my posts. You'll come back with the point that IMO Richard Horne is no more than a outside squad player on an international wage. But opinions are what this board is here for, that's mine and you can have yours. We posts on here, have a light chat about it then in the end decide that i was right and we move on.

I know, i was just speaking in general... a fit player who usually plays a similar role is better than an unfit player in his actual role!

He was playing for short spells in a unfamiliar position on sat....like i have already said if Agar had another halfback to choose from ie Longy then Horney would have had a run out in the reserves but he hasn't so i think he will be at HB in the 1st team on thursday as there is very few options available......but Horne was not responsible for the poor performance on sat and was not the only under performer out there at least he had an excuse to be rusty unlike some of the others.

I agree with the general point. I'm not a fan of rushing players back or playing them when not 100% fit - I think it leads to more problems both short and long term. I understand that occasionally this is necessary but I don't like it. Ironically I think that Horne is a player who has suffered from this more than most in the past, and some of his recent fitness issues may be a direct result.

Regarding Calderwood I seem to remember something about him feeling some tenderness in his calf following his first run in the U20's. Given the severity of the injury it's possible that not playing him on Saturday was justified on grounds of not wanting to risk a setback.

Thank god....sense at last

a 31 year old winger on a 2 year contract would be a cr4p signing. He'll be nicking fitz's zimmer frame

I don't think you know anything wolfster. And if you're suggesting that agar has a massive army of adoring fans then you're mistaken

you would be surprised what i know jakester.

and im not claiming he does have a army of adoring fans,didnt you listen to sports talk earlier?

No, it's rubbish. Why, what happened?

I am listening to it now Jake because Wolfie piqued my curiosity So far it is like an Agar out thread on Radio
