Once again we were undone by a side who were at least 3 inches taller per man than us. They must have had at least 5 players over 6ft 3in throughout the side against our mostly midgets. I know a good little 'un is as good as a good big 'un (see Jimmy Ryan) but the difference in physique, week in, week out, is very noticeable. I can't see how Coley can possibly start at Chesterfield with 2 such small, ineffective wingers as we did today. Neither of them won a single 50/50 challenge or beat their man EVER. Hopefully Ray Putterill will be back to give us some much needed power up front. I know Winnard had one of his more decent games today, but how anyone could look past Jimmy for man of the match is beyond me. Time after time he emerged with the ball under control through 3 or 4 tackles to get us going. Magic. If the coach doesn't run to Chesterfield I'm seriously thinking of going on strike if it seems likely we start with the two aforementioned players again.
