Hendrie is back up only. Let’s be honest our defence , with the exception of Platt was makeshift in reality. Three of the four, one could easily say, were playing outside their natural position.

It took 20 mins to suss both fullbacks were so far out of their depth it was untrue, I posted as such at the time. As a result it did put added unnecessary pressure on our two centrebacks .

I was really impressed with Lewis, by the way.

 

That is why I asked you why you think Hendrie will be the scapegoat next season. Players that give their all and try their best don't tend to be scapgoated, but that doesn't mean people aren't entitled to point out their weaknesses and suggest we need better as first choice.
As for your point about our budget not matching our ambition and us not being able to afford anyone better, what exactly are you basing that on, when we've brought in the likes of Smallwood, Chapman and Walker?

 

We said exactly that about a certain Wayne Jacobs at the end of every season he was at the club and season after season he proved us wrong, if Hughes can get a better RB in then fine but Luke will do a job and with better players around him IMO he will improve, but its good to debate and get other fans opinions of players.

 

Hendrie has played right back for us but he was playing centre back at Hartlepool.

Sure, he can "fill in" or "do a job" but can we just get a ruddy proper right back in?

 

He didn't go it was only a friendly those who went were wasting their money.

 

Based on a game that was pointless ???

 

Defensively he gets by, his real weakness is getting good crosses in. 30% success rate would be acceptable for a L2 full back not 10% success.

Ridehalgh is easily better than 30% successful rate imho.

 

I was in agreement with your original post about crosses because I felt that last season our runs into the box were poor, although that was by no means our only weakness.

 

Only the 3????

 

It's fine, had the PSA tests, it just processes beer (and coffee) quickly.

 

Reception was awful, but the picture was superb

Going fishing tonight Trev?

 

I remember them having the Kop - had to move to West Stand myself that day - brought my housemate who was a Rangers fan - it’s the only half’n’half scarf I’ve ever bought!!!

 

Sitting outside the Ling Bob with a pint of Boltmeker?

 

Your not daft taking a nurse with you to a game like that .

 

City will get a share of the overall revenue. I assume the reason Derby are showing it and we aren't is because they have their own dedicated TV site whereras we are reliant on Ifollow, who don't as a rule tend to show friendlies.

Hope you are feeling better soon btw. Enjoy the game.
