I just think after three fouls and a booking within minutes almost any other manager would have avoided Weir being sent off by subbing him.
I'm glad Matt's baffled by what we're trying to do, I'm so baffled I was beginning to think I was missing the very obvious sense of direction. Matt's young and if he's baffled it isn't just some old-age thing. Phew!
The trouble with O'Grady and for him too is that when you are a marquee signing (our biggest ever wage) you almost can't get dropped and every fan and the rest of your team can't help but load you up with all kind of extra expectations, you may or may not be able to fulfil in every game. If he had come to us without history or reputation would O'Grady even be in the team?
Then I look at the sad tale of Ricardo, unused sub for Alfreton. Exactly how does this help him? He's behind Craig Westcarr for fkkkkkks's sake! Anyone remember Jacob Hazel, on the verge of the first team, played, loaned out even to Norway. On Saturday he scored two at Buxton, one a cracker for fkkkkin Frickley. That's what we're doin' to Ricardo.
And by the way didn't we have Nana Boakye-Yiadom on trial? On Saturday he came on as sub for Dulwich Hamlet in the FA Cup and scored a hat trick (his first goals for them) in under half an hour. Another flame flickering as football extinguishes it? No-one wants him and everyone wants his brother? The black version of the Maguire family?
Not conceding is a good sign, but Hird AND Evatt really isn't. I've a lot of time for both of them individually, but time has given them the same problems to solve. They have more than enough on solving their own problems without covering their partner's weaknesses.
