Royal RotherAlan PartridgeRoyal RotherStranded I like Long but he has not proved at all that he could handle 90mins at the top level right now. He offers an excellent alternative off the bench with 20 to go as his pace can worry tiring defenders.

Had we had another better option you could be right, we don't so there we go.
I just have found Lita so utterly ineffectual, in identically the same way each game, that I am wondering whether it is worth playing him when it seems pretty obvious that he (or the game he is playing at the moment) is so easy for top defenders to handle.
As you suggest though, he would probably be better getting on the end of chances in the box, but we're not really creating any / many so haven't seen him in that situation.
I just think we might as well see if something else could work for a longer period of a game. Okay Long was ineffective against Darlington but he was not playing with the 1st team squad. Small factor, but relevant nonetheless.
Incidentally I was just chatting to a Man Utd supporter who thought Doyle had a good match, far batter than Lita, and that Long also did very well when he came on. So there you go!

Royal Rother Of course it means something AP!
It's another opinion out there that is equally as valid as anyone else's.
Royal Rother Except you have to acknowledge that this one is completely untainted with any bias.

TBM Long runs funny - all stiff legged with no arm action.
I don't like him.

Royal Rother It is quite obvious that Lita took wise council from some old heads (bald ones, I'll say no more than that) and has worked at his game. Credit should go where credit is due. I thank you.
