There has been plenty said recently about how our players are criticised on here and in the stands, especially our youngsters, and here we have a lad on maybe his second start and he gets pelters! I would love to replicate the days of yore where a player makes his break into the team and looks like he has been there for years, but its just no gonna happen. I hope Thomson gets another game tomorrow as once n oot again just does not work in this development model we now have. Was he caught out of position on Saturday or playing as instructed with Cudjoe doing the backtracking, something Cudjoe has been criticised for not doing, with the added security of Gallagher back?

Walton,
Thomson, Gallagher, Holt, McMann,
Grimshaw, Sibbald,
Cudjoe, Meekieson, Middleton
Moult.
