Some interesting thoughts on the game.
Swift looked a real handfull with ball in hand. Reminded me a bit of Tomkins in that he is built like a starving sparrow yet ha the ability to bounce out of tackles. His fielding of bombs was exemplary. Could he turn out to be our future fullback??
Josh Jones hard to think that he is only 18 years old. He is a real handful with the ball in hand and defensively sound.
Lance. Looked like a deliberate tactic to keep him out of the action for the first 20 mins then introduce him into the midfield. Suspect he may be playing with a knock.
Clough a one man yardage machine, our best forward along with Lafranchi.
Roby playing well but then committed a complete brainfart that nearly lost us the game.
Overall performance, pretty solid in a going through the motions sort of way for the first 65 mins. Then Roby went off and we collapsed.
Paul Wellens. Not captain material at present , spends the match screaming abuse at his fellow players when a mistake is made making wind mills with his arms. For me this puts undue pressure on the other players and distracts them from the job in hand. Paul is a passionate player but need to temper his emotions when dealing with his team mates.
Joynt was a great captain not because of what he said but what he did. For me a quiet word in the ear is better than a whirling dervish
He just lived up to my expectations of him. Apparently he knocked on against Cas too. But he was also back to his old tricks of passing the ball to someone else to take forward. It was only a matter of time with Meli. I do so hope he is not offered a new contract.
