Exiles thread vs Morecambe 2/11

Post by EliotNes »

Well cheer me up O’s after that disappointing Rubgy World Cup final.
Though if the wind on the Irish Sea coast is anything like it is here in Suffolk - where the Orwell Bridge is now shut and there is gridlock in and around Ipswich - that might make it Interesting if the ball goes up high

COYOs make us all happy

Fletch don’t seem to want to make too many changes, guess he’s still feeling his way in.
But Wilko not starting is a bit surprising.

Wilkinson back,on the bench, in place of Judd, so Alabi keeps his place on the bench.

Hello from Bergen.

No Wilkinson???? It would even make sense to play him on the right instead of Dayton.

Only explanation I can think of for putting ''Wilko'' on the bench is that the powers to be might think that after his time out, that he might be lacking match fitness ? Surely though, must be a first off the bench for a change up front ?

It looks like Fletch is getting his mistakes in early. Unless Wilkinson is not fully match fit, not starting him is a poor decision.

No Wilko is a bit of a surprise but, to be fair to the front three, it would be harsh to drop any of them. Even Dayton, who I thought did OK against Carlisle.

It seems the Morecambe players who took over the management job left by Jim Bentley have both dropped themselves.

But if you bring him straight back in does it not suggest his behaviour was ok when he got sent off? He has served a punishment, but again what message does it send to the squad if he walks straight back in the team?

I think it's the right decision actually, even though I believe he is a automatic starter at present based on prior form.

Wasn't Wilko suspended before Fletch took over? First time to have a look, be on 2nd half. COYO's!!

Surprises you! Shocks the hell out of me. If he ain’t match fit, not playing aint gonna help.

Still, when we’re two down I dare say he will get the last 10 minutes. Though I doubt even we could lose this one.

For sure. They have been scoring bags of goals in open play.

Dulcet thinks it's a scrappy game, it looks OK top me, everyone is challenging for everything at the moment so we'll have to wait a bit for some space to emerge.

It was a nothing red card. Suggesting he deserves further punishment from the club is laughable.

In France. Didn’t think anything could be worse than being at the game. I was wrong.
