Early in the season, with my new iFollow, I went out on a limb and called a few matches opposite to the "regular" match rating posters, simply because I dislike the continual use of the long-ball even though it was getting results...... so now I rarely post a rating of every player, preferring to summarise matches at half-time and full-time on the Match Thread, it's safer!!
I also think everyone has their "favourites" ie I love to watch Jones or Toots bombing down the wing, so if either do cock up a defensive tackle, I tend to mentally ignore it as the price to be paid for exciting wing-play....I think this is a normal human reaction that we all, even Nolo, suffer from ie refusing to give Forte a decent run in the side until every other alternative had been tried.
Not a criticism, just an observation BTW.
