Torquay United v Ebbsfleet 18th August 2008

Just out of interest Leroy Rosenior was not at the game with Setanta last night. It seems alot of people thought they saw him but it could'nt have been. He was summerising for the BBC today on the olympic Brazil v Argentina semi. You can view highlights on BBC. com I did'nt know how to put a link to it but it was definatley him.

Summarising games in China from a distance is right up Leroy's street.....................remember how he tried to manage us from Bristol?

I must admit i thought it was Leroy.
'He' was stood in the area between the the dugouts, in front of the stand.

We've got to get rid of the notion that we can get away with playing TWO weaklings in a BSP side so Stevens has to go - he's hopeless playing on the left, no way can he hold the ball up and to me he's just a pint sized novelty act. Ditto Benyon, until he gets down to building himself up he'll continue to cost us possession in three out of four games. This is a tough old league and he just doesn't cut it. The only way to maximise Sills is to play the ball to his feet, he has the "pace" of a tortoise and what with having to carry Benyon his task looked hopeless last night, but he does have obvious strengths and as with all strikers we can only maximise them them if we play to them and likewise we need to accommodate his weaknesses i.e. with his lack of pace DON'T put the ball five yards in front of him!

You can be as fit as you like, but constant losing of possession will render the fittest of sides puffing and blowing as they constantly have to chase the ball. Likewise if the ruddy thing keeps coming back because of the ineptitude of Stevens and Benyon in attempting to hold it up the same applies.

Hi Stew you should have read the thread don't think there is much whinging mate, some moans perhaps but mostly views on what is wrong and what needs to change.
