3-1 down

[floyd__streete]

3-1 . With our saviour Sean Morrison at the heat of the defence we are shipping goals galore to Eastleigh. Eastleigh !

[Libertine]

We pulled one back late. So close to knocking that powerhouse Eastleigh off too...drats, mebbe next time.

So out of the ranks today we'll will be finding the replacements for the players we are selling?

Text upd8 from Handbags Harris:

Swindon Supermarine 0-1 Reading. Brett Williams pen. The only way he was going to score. He's been utter turd so far.

Good to see your levels of literacy improving Floydster with the description of our new hot-shot striker as "utter turd".

There's nothing like giving the kid a chance is there?

Tell that to McDermott.....

[brendywendy]

wha?

[andrew1957]

Must be hard for Williams. The only player aged over 19 in the reserve squad as far as I can see.

Still he will either step up or fall by the wayside. Cummings proved that McDermott will give players another chance if they step up.

[Hoop Blah]

wha?

That aimed my way?

McDermott clearly doesn't think he's quite ready (or in Floyd/handbags parlance 'utter turd') and so he's left him at home with the kids whilst the first team squad go off on their jolly.

i just wasnt sure what it meant.

thanks for sort of clearing it up.
though it still reads like you think he deserves a chance.

[Hoop Blah]

Nah, not at all. I think he's utter turd and a waste of a gamble to be honest!

[andrew1957]

Nothing like giving someone a chnace!! Two reserve games and you are writing him off.

I suspect that there is only a 25% chance he will make it with us - but at £50K surely worth the risk.

In many ways I would rather that we spend a few hundred thousand on a number of lower league players - some of which will make it - than a few million on one PL has been.

[Hoop Blah]

1) It was tongue in check

2) He's been here six months and has played in more than 2 reserve games

3) I wrote him off six months ago!
