Re: FAO Bat

I was at the game and up until 75-80 minutes he was absolute gash.

In the last 15 or so he was going up for every header from our back 5s hoofballs and winning them all and he was guarding the back 4 (not very well considering we let in a last minute goal).

The first 80 minutes though he was absolutely awful. He really played like that kid in school that was so terrible at football but did try.

- If a Leeds player was coming near with the ball he'd stand 4ft away and stretch a leg out to try and toe the ball away without tackling.

- We was attacking and we played the ball across the box to him where he controlled it with his inside heel and it bounced to a leeds player so hard that it bounced off the player and went straight to Boga to play in Colin.

- We was attacking and the ball fell to him on the edge of the box with 2 defenders near him but really only the keeper to bear if it was any other player. He swung and missed the ball and it bobbled sideways out of danger.

- About 3 or 4 times he got a outstretched toe on the ball and all that did was lay it off for a leeds player to make a better run at goal.

- He didn't win a header for the first 60 i think, he was so bullied aerially that whoever was marking him didn't bother at all and doubled up on Boga instead.

- He mishit 2 passes back to his defence which they had to track back to collect and put themselves under a lot of pressure with Leeds pacy runners coming at them.

That being said i agree for 10 minutes at the end he greatly improved and i am hoping that was a glimpse of what is coming.
