I expect them to stay sober not get drink driving bans and i mean quite a few of the team here but i expect you will all defend them oh and yes the latest one huby banned from exscape for three years for fighting this is the way to set examples for the younger generations isnt it.

All players drink. Are they not entitled to in their spare time? Put it this way, you put your body on the line for 80 minutes, getting battered. They play in a sport where the slightest hit could ruin their careers. They deserve to have a break once in a while.

never said it was, I was refering to the drink comment

Well i have not commented on here for about three years as you can tell with my avatar but i feel i have to say something on this one
i agree with bambam the players are paid proffesionals and should not be drinking until the end of the season terry matterson is too soft they need someone with a bit of fire like carl harrison now he would sort them out, i know they have done really well this season and i for one am really chuffed but imagine what they could do if they stopped drinking and fighting and concentrated a little bit more on there fitness well thats it from me i am going to change my avatar now for something a bit more up to date

Well back on topic. Ryan McGoldrick, absolutely useless.

No I just think he needs to be taken out of the halves, he just seems to take other players out of the game when he's playing SO.

Where do we play him JF, his best position is FB. He'll never play Centre so we are stuck.

Last night i would have changed things around after HT goldie would have gone to FB richie owen to wing and sorry but wainwright sub'd.
We could then get rangi and sherwin back as a partnership......TM tactics were beyond a joke and to put joe on the bench was pathetic.
TM needs to sort himself out never ming mcgoldrick.

And punish Wainwright who did no wrong just so we don't have to take off someone who has played poorly? I don't think so, Wainwright was one of the players yesterday who showed a bit of heart and passion.

Neither McGoldrick or Sherwin did anything to justify being on the pitch yesterday, it's a shame we had no option that included neither of them.

All McGoldrick did for us yesterday was earn us extra defensive practice by giving away stupid penalties.

Another thing, McGoldrick is perhaps the worst fullback I have ever seen when it comes to defending and as I recall, Richie Owen made some fantastic tackles last night to prevent Wigan scoring when they looked all but certain to. We'd have conceded more with Goldy at FB IMHO.

Ryan is a centre, thats what we brought him in as and thats where he should be playing.

Yet again he is put in a half back role by TM wher he's either asked to do way too much, or simply can't help himself getting involved in everything, in which case, TM needs to tell him.

Personally I cannot see what Evans offers us in the centre, Shenton and Goldy is a must for the start of next year. Sherwin to second receiver-where he gets more time on the ball and looks much more dangerous and turn Rangi into a tricky little srum half, for which he has all qualities.

That, my friend, makes perfect sense!

We should have hauled Goldie off and put Netherton in at hooker last night, with Chase & Sherwin in the halves. I've never been a Goldie knocker and have reserved judgement on what has been a disappointing season, but against Celtic he played like a headless chicken with the same amount of brains and last night he was just a liability. I'm not going to demand he gets shipped out or whatever, but he needs a dramatic improvement next season, and if that means putting him in at centre, where his running game can be utilised (and he won't have to pass the ball!) so be it.

As I've just said on the other forum we need to find somewhere for him to play and soon. We've given him a 4 year deal and as far as I am concerned, we play Richard Owen at fullback if fit and we play Rangi Chase at stand-off if fit.

Taking into account that we are missing Hudson, yesterday I would have been tempted to start Netherton at hooker for 20 minutes with Chase at SO and Goldy on the bench, then when Netherton went off we could have put Chase at hooker and brought a fresh McGoldrick on to link up with Sherwin.
