Do you have an elephant gun? Fielden is very average but Coley and fat lad are in good form. They will take some stopping.

Warrington stopped him in the semi by running at him every time they had the ball. I don't think he had a run in his first spell.

Granted they were able to keep the ball for a long period which allowed them to do that.

They made a right fool of him, he was almost immediately subbed after making 0 impact.

I would rather Brierly plays the remaining games this season whether we win or lose than continue to upset the entire balance of the team by playing people in makeshift positions, which adds no value in the longer term.

Sure, if we lose the remainder of our games, we will finish 10th and that'll hurt - but at least we will have gained something for the future.

Although 8th would be a great achievement, it is not the answer to our problems and would to some extent gloss over something we know already; we are running thin and need some players to be pushing for a spot but not yet in our first 17, and if this helps Brierly to start building a first team presence and confidence, so be it.

I hope he gets on and gets the kind of reception a local lad should who needs ENCOURAGING on the start of his journey..... I remember Tomkins and Robinson amongst others getting coated when they started out when they broke through young and even Danny Orr got some flack at our place, everyone starts somewhere and will make mistakes.

Aye, my mistake - but the point stands, there is no future with Widders at Stand Off we get a fist full of f@ck all out of that - so lets play him and you never know, we could uncover Kyle Eastmond, or Kyle Warren, but at least we know for the future.
