Legod Third Coming

Cortese needs to move on this I fear. I have the utmost respect for him and what he's doing. But football clubs are nothing without their history. And whatever his differences with Le Tiss, he needs to bury them because it would make sense to use Matt for the good of the club, not leave him outside of it. And for those who criticise Matt, wash your fecking mouths out! He is not above critisicm, but you have HIM to thank for not being relegated years ago...

There was a good quote from Martin Johnson on Saturday saying that a pat on the back isn't worth a great deal to help win the Six Nations and what they will do is to anayse all the weaknesses to put them right for the next game. I'm with you, I don't like slating players, but we blow a lot of smoke up their arses when they win, they should be able to take a good critique when they don't. And I don't think any serious observer would say Kelvin's form this season is a patch on his form last season. Now maybe he was just at his peak last year? But a few times this season while not always wholly at fault, I am sure he has caused nervousness in the defence with his lack of command of the back four/five and box.

Do you read any of the posts or only choose to reply to the nutters?

This is my feeling. Bart will come off his line more - maybe because he is younger and more malleable from a training perspective. He is not a bad keeper as all our cup games proved - and he could hardly be considered at fault for either of United's goals... So why not let him prove himself in the league? His kicking isn't great but the whole point is he shouldn't be kicking anyway - we should be WORKING the ball out from the back. What's the point in having him if he's not given a chance when the usual goalkeeper is below par?? If you put him in for one game and he has a mare then so be it, at least we know. It's not like Kelvin has been on top form is it?

That would do for me. Too many people are allowing Davis to play on the basis of last season's performances... I don't want him sent to the goulags FFS (although some of the more idiotic drama queens on here seem to be suggesting I do), I simply want players out of form to be dropped for a game or two to work their way back into the team. Isn't that what every successful team in the land do?? What has Bart done wrong to be left on the sidelines while our keeper underperforms??

For my money that was the only poor decision the ref made. The last penalty most of us would have given. If Oxo jumps with his arm up then you're asking for trouble...

Really, how would we have got our third goal then?? Given that Chaplow could have scored 9.5 for artistic merit...

That's the sort of game we would have won last season.

Comical defending.

This is so fecking amateurish.

Oh FFS you bunch of K U NTS.

FFS! Just get hold of the ball and KEEP IT. It is such a simple game.

Unlucky Rickie... bugger.

Sorry but Dan Seaborne scares the cr4p out of me....

Yep seems to be what our defence are doing!!

Card happy ref bit of a worry...

Mars crossing Venus with Pluto rising.

We just need to keep hold of the ball and move it around. And DEFEND.

Searborne you are hopeless. Fecking hopeless.

Come for the fecking BALL DAVIS!!!!!!

Because it's on TV and a Saturday night so most people will be in a pub surely?

And there's one of 'em.

We need at least two more here.

Really? Why can't he come five yards off his line and catch the ball? Keepers all over the world can use the WHOLE box. All of it. Honest.

First goal keeper beaten at his near post. Second, ball dropping from height in six yard box. Blind to his faults I'm afraid you are. I've been a huge supprter of his for years. He's been good for us. Today he's not good enough. When a player is out of form, drop him. End of. That's how you win a league. Sentimentality is worth nothing in the trophy cabinet.
