That’s exactly what we need. When I was playing in the local leagues the aggressive forward always made it difficult for you. Still got the scars from Houghton Main.We’ve got one, Ironside.

Does appear to get caught out but then so often recovers well, looks in need a bit of fitness training ( or simply a good run of matches)And then Olowu came on delivered a hospital ball, passed it straight to one of their forwards then ran brainlessly into trouble, again just outside our area , that was pretty much his first 3 touches. Though he did do a very good long pass on his 4th touch. The poor lad needs to stay well away from a football pitch.Wondered when Olowu would get some blame, and here you pop!He made a bad pass, most L2 players do, its normal, yet you have no words for McGrath who gave the free kick away for the goal, you also had no words for him on Saturday when he gave the ball twice in succesion in dangerous areas, but you jump on Olowu straight away!In relation to the goal, you’ll actually see Close being incredibly weak (which sums up most of our defensive efforts over the years) and get easily muscled off the ball. McGrath showed some tenacity and grit (can’t remember much of that since Whiteman) , and in the words of the commentator ‘that’s a good foul, as the attacker was looking very dangerous’As for the wall and Jones positioning, well that’s open to debate, so no, no mention about McGrath, you’re right.

Jones set up the wall wrong and was flat footed yes but was poor from McGrath, he should’ve brought the man down a lot earlier than he did.
