......... Warne's statement..

I know/understand this but Mattock would have been the better option against Villa, he can go forward and isn't afraid of passing the ball forwards.
Best players on the day for that team isn't it?

Sorry your right, we threw the towel in didn't we so what's point

Sorry buddy but I don't agree. Mattock just isn't good enough anymore, its like he keeps going back to the well but there's no water left. It's a shame for him because he has been a good player. Purrington struggled against Villa and my worry is that all the defeats are affecting his confidence but he will do well next season for us and will only improve in the future.

Agree about Mattock Tony.

Come on topsy it's about looking at next season not picking the best team for the day , Purrington is the future, some players will have to be moved on unfortunately for Joe he may be one of them.

Saturday's game reminded me of a Sunday League match you might stop to watch for a few minutes whilst walking the dog. A game between two teams virtually devoid of any quality but offering the bystander lots of honest effort and roared on by enthusiastic diehard fans. Villa were terrible considering their outlay in transfer fees and alleged wages. yet we simply never looked remotely capable of scoring with so little cutting edge. We do have one or two players who should more than hold their own next season. However, on the flip side, Yates is starting to bother me, most fans keep on banging about how good he will be in League One next season. I'm not sure and still wonder if he will make the grade at all. he might just drift off into non league football unless he seriously ups his game. My opinion here and we all are entitled to those.

have to agree m8. it looks as though the negativity around the squad is seriously effecting his game. on a slight positive. a couple of times saturday he spotted where the ball was going to be and set off (into his 2nd stride) before the defender had even moved, sadly by the time he reached his 4th stride the defender had caught up... derbyshire was great at this, he read the game really well and he wasnt blessed with pace.

Do we need to worry about Yates when JCH is nearly fit. Just think about that penalty miss - never mind it won't be a problem as refs don't give us penalties anymore, it's this seasons new rule
