And cant you tell Stains lost a game, with all the usual suspects resorting to the same old sorry cliches!

Kyle Eastmond's facebook status yesterday - Kyle Eastmond just loves Pat Richard's kick-offs.



Seems as though some of the lads are jsut shrugging this off.

As for Eastmond it's a tough game to judge the lad on when he's being asked to play at fullback but he didn't have the best of times.

Sensible veiw. I'm dissapointed that the original poster got a bite.

I really dont think it'll do him any good to play him in a position that he isn't expected to take on. Either drop Long and play Eastmond at 7 or dont. Playing him at FB helps noone

Is there any explanations yet as to why he came on at fullback and Wellens went to centre?

why play 2 players out of position? when Sean Long is playing like a one legged mong, why not take him off and play Eastmond in his true position?

I thought it was the beer! All this messing with positions is madness. Wellens at centre WTF Eastmond at FB behind a beaten team, that'll help his confidence! FWIW I think he did a decent job there though

i agree, he did a decent job there - but unless there is a reason behind him playing at FB it is a complete waste of time. If Wellens was injured, fair enough - but he wasnt. If a centre was injured, why not play Eastmond at centre?

A forward went off, Gilmour moved to 2nd row, Wellens went to centre and Eastmond went to full back. As it is, Wellens has never played centre, Eastmond has only played full back a couple of times.

All that also ignores the fact that Long was the worst player on the field by far, and should have been removed after about 10 minutes.

Correct. He should have put Eastmond at centre if we were desperate.

In my veiw slick should either play Eastmond or not have hin in the 17, the place is needed for a forward, Graham is going to burn out sooner or later. Have the balls to play eastmond from the start and drop long, or the other way round ,but not both
