Robertson made a big difference when he replaced Palmer sadly, I’m not sure if Palmer will be the same player after his long layoff - hopefully he proves me wrong

No doubt a fair few heard the Morecambe commentators comments about DC? Apparently one of them spoke to DC when he was there and asked why he kept turning and holding onto the ball and slowing play down. He answered that he was too good for the rest of the players and they weren't in the positions he wanted them to be (sic). I did notice yesterday that he was doing a lot of arm waving and at one point Tsaroulla didn't know what to do for the best because DC had *******ed him the move before. It goes to show that we are still a work in progress as regards understanding player movement.
I have seen the comments regarding Grant over the weeks and didn't really agree with them but he was poor yesterday without doubt.
Just a reminder that I'm still updating match and season stats on NCS-News website. Not had the time to write any real analysis last few games but the stats tend to tell their own story. The difference in the Gillingham and Morecambe games is quite startling. We clearly did enough to beat Gillingham but were too wasteful, We should have lost at Morecambe but somehow grabbed a point.
