However I would say that Curle is a complete and utter clown for keeping one of the best defenders in this league on the bench (Troy).

If he is one of the best defenders in the league why do you think none of the other 23 managers have taken a punt on him?[/quote

Probably because he's on £2.5 a week!

£2.50 a week is cheap to be fair

I'm willing to bet there'll be a queue round the block for his signature when he's a free agent! He'll be earning a decent crust here on top of that surely we'd be looking at a fee for him surely to god! I can well understand why teams aren't quite risking it!

Anyone who was there on Saturday will not be surprised to see that we shipped four goals again. I don't think there's out wrong with the defensive set-up but the personnel is all wrong. I did have my reservations when seeing Balanta&Osei; playing at WB when you would've thought playing so open put us on a hiding to nothing.

Then again this is L2 so you shouldn't be scared of anyone really.

I'd be amazed if we're looking for a fee for him.

Just read Curle's post match interview.

It seems that 'getting on/off the bus' is the new 'earning the right to play'.

So far this season in the two wing back positions we've played:

Miller
Brough
McQueen
Osei
Thompson
Balanta

Seems very much like square pegs and round holes. I don't mind Curle wanting to give players game time but we should be changing the shape of the team to fit the players rather than shoving players into positions to play the same formation.
Arise, Sir Jimmy

POP!! there goes the bubble of recovery.
We got out of jail on Saturday with 4 goals, unfortunately we aren't Brazil and can't score 4 each match.
If Ibere scored the header it may have been a totally different match alas he missed. When Ibere doesn't score who do we look to for goals?
With league 2 players we are attempting to play champions league tactics which is brave at best, idiotic to most.
There is a reason they are league 2 players, they can't play very well.
This brings a huge risk of miscontrolling in dangerous areas. Lo and behold we are shipping goals.
10 in 4 games now is that on a par with Kav's incompetence last season?
It's not all Curles fault, the players have to realise they are slipping etc and decide to change the way they play too. Last night was a good example, after numerous slips by players they should have gone into safe mode and try lumping it more.
