I'm amazed Ched Evans is doing so well after 4 years off. I thought competitive games were bound to find him out. Maybe he's not at his best yet, but he's obviously worth his place and more which is a real achievement.
I worry for and about Fulton. It can be hard for a young keeper to make the jump to a higher level. If our defence were mega then that would help him mentally ..... but if he feels that a lot is resting on his shoulders it could become too much of a burden. Most of it is mind games ....... and maybe Allinson, who is three years older, might be better able to handle it. Equally maintaining faith in Fulton might be exactly what he needs. It is s difficult call and one we created for ourselves.
Glad Ariyibi shone as is now expected, surprised to be saying this but I'm glad Jones is fit, but most of all it does seem noticeable that with Nolan in the team that not only is Liddle better, but the whole team is better. Would we have surrendered the lead at Rochdale with him on the pitch?
Top six? Dodgy young keeper, slow, aged centre backs, midfield reliant on one player, attacking potential of a striker who might soon have more than football on his mind, a winger who richer teams might covet and a very talented attacking midfielder whose other talents include inconsistency and invisibility. Just playing the devil's advocate. Bournemouth had loads of negatives and look where they ended up.
