Loaning Walker out was not a mistake 24 hours ago. We've had 3 players drop out of the squad since yesterday ie Kirmo, Allgood and Bill T. That's the reason we had to play t'other Walker tonight, when he wasn't fit.

Kirmond & Allgood were major doubts all week.

One joker at tonights game continually picked on negatives from Keegan Hirst. There were 16 other players out there tonight. Can't just blame 1 player.

Were still in contention until yesterday when they failed their 'fitness tests'.
Apparently the 17 tonight were the last men standing.

I think we were around 30 nil down before Crowther came on to pitch.

How the hell can you point the finger at the kid for that !!!!

Should be enough for slacko to soak in and understand It might have been how he was wearing his subs coat for 50mins that did it

I'm not sure whether Crowther will ultimately make it but he doesn't miss tackles and is still developing so he's a good one to keep for now.
Walker I quite liked but was probably 6 prop and even lower if you include Arona.
Granted we have an injury crisis but you can't keep everyone and I should think he wanted first team time. He'll go great at Rochdale.

And as said plenty of times tonight was nothing to do with Crowther.

Re: Why : Fri Jun 16, 2017 12:55 am  

I'd give Crowther a run at loose forward, and bench Sio. There were some poor performances tonight but I accept we're in a spot with injuries, not sure why some feel the need for the blame game.

Re: Why : Fri Jun 16, 2017 6:32 am  

Not too long ago we wouldn't have had Crowther, or any other decent youngsters, to back up our first team - they'd have been picked off by the 'big' teams. Slagging them off when they put their hands up, and their bodies on the line, to play for the first team is bang out of order. Young Crowther was gutted at the end - he didn't need to be, he'd tried his best against a team of seasoned pro's.

Agree with op letting go a forward at this point when already down on troops before 3 dropping out was a weird one but Jordan not to blame as others played worse last night. I would have written the game off and drafted a few more kids in if we had more time.

I wouldn't even bench Sio - he's been poor all season and if he were out of contract I wouldn't need re-sign him.
