[Beefy 1965]

Personally, I wouldn't mind too much if Irvine wants to continue the narrow, compact approach away from home - it's given us a good couple of wins and some decent performances - but on our own patch, we NEED to start taking it to teams, and that may well require sticking on players who don't run ten miles in a match or stick tackles in at every opportunity, and may well even loaf about aimlessly until the time comes for them to conjure up a bit of game-changing magic. I get the feeling Irvine doesn't like or trust players of that ilk, but used wisely, they'll win you matches, entertain crowds and keep you in this league. If he keeps snubbing them in favour of "hard workers", we'll have a long and toothless season ahead.
