However - not too pleased to see Seamus keep bollocking the kids around him. He's club captain, he should be the one keeping his head and encouraging the younger ones, not so obviously trashing them on the pitch.


I thought Mancini was our best player by a country mile, superior control, balanced, able to play with his head up. Doesn't always pick the right pass, but he has the quality that we need more of. And we still haven't solved the conundrum up front. Aaron's a grafter and has presence, but at the moment doesn't have the sharpness to find space, whereas the lads who came on, Nathan and Korede gave us more pace but had no real service to feet, which is what they need.


And unless bridges have been definitely burned, we must surely recall Toby. Everyone could see the last goal coming last night, all he had to do was get the ball over the wall, there was no way Liam was going to get across. I'm sure the lad's had the size thing thrown at him all his career, but this is the third tier of the national game, it's brutal.

It wasn't long ago that the Captain was getting pelters for not being vocal enough ............... can't win. Also if you're on a pitch and can't take getting it in the ear every now and then why are you on there ? Next you'll be telling Coley Jimmy and Co to back off.
