Yeah and how many people on here said “no thanks” he’s got an attitude problem or some such like comment. We got dross and are looking over our shoulders and they are top looking down at us.

If you want to get promoted this season or next then the appointmet should have been an experienced person, instead like I said back at that time we will be going nowhere anytime soon.

Widdowson is the best left back
The west ham lad is obviously not really a right back
Dayton is in a league too high for him
What does Wilkinson actually do, also so one footed, all the defender has to do is show him the line get him on his right

You could see towards the end coulson, mcnuff, widdowson where getting really annoyed
Brophy is our best left back by some way.
He is not. But to be fair he has done OK of late. But that is not the issue. Brophy has pace and can be good further forward so why not play him where he is at his best. That’s not FB, that’s further forward. He is being wasted at LB, especially when we have a decent experienced LB available.

Don't you remember that his references didn't check out for us? He's a bad apple apparently.

I can imagine what Kent and Nigel must be thinking now.
