    I thought we were suppose to be playing an attacking style?

    We spend a load of money on young talent like Holmes, Marriot etc, I thought we were going to stick them in, let them off the leash and just try to be entertaining this season?

    Yet we are relying on cart horses like Ledley, Bryson and Johnson still

    Can someone please tell Morris to lay off the players and management and just try to encourage them to be aggressive ? I'm all for 3-3 scorelines with a young attacking side, let them off the leash ffs.

    This is like watching paint dry

    Ah him, I do remember now.....we didn't exactly spend loads of money on him though?

    All the same I apologise to DCFC and agree that it was an opportunity to blood some of the youngsters though it was also an opportunity for others possibly in and around the first XI to get more match fitness.

    Funny for some reason yesterday I thought about Malcolm Christie too, stacking shelves and playing for Nuneaton one week and tearing Boro a new one the next.

    They don't happening often but when they do it makes it all the more exciting.

    Plus the lad will have cost next to nowt and wont be on a huge wage. Every signing is a gamble. This is one that costs little and may just pay off big time.
