Scapegoat Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 Our worst performances this season have come against sides that hustled well, never giving us time to settle on the ball and build moves on the ground. Given some of the more..ahem...'agricultural' styles that we will come up against, this is something we need to improve on. We will do OK against sides that want to play, but more sides than not are likely to be in our face. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
razza699 Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 I like Beckett, 24 goals for us in just over a season. Have him as back up for Hughes and I wouldnt worry if Hughes got injured. that was when he was at his best though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lags Posted September 28, 2008 Share Posted September 28, 2008 He hadn't been booked previously. The ref had a word with him for his first bad challenge (which in my book was a booking all over) however, what saved him, it was the first of the match and early doors. He was booked for the challenge on Whittaker. I stand corrected having watched LW extended Highlights. He was booked for the challenge on Allott but not on Whittaker. However there were two Hudds players involved in the Whittaker incident. He was involved early doors in a bookable incident thou that did go unpunished.

danoafc Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Happened right in front of me ... no chance it was a pen. Dickenson was a handfull by being plain dirty and diving all other the place. Didn't think he was anything special ... quite the opposite. Completely agree MArk. Didn't think he was interested in playing football, just grappling/drawing fouls/throwing himself on the floor/throwing himself into the defender instead of the ball any time he we for a header. Thought he got almost every single decision from a VERY weak ref. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

All the more surprising there for the very first time the ref got it right and gave the decision against him (to late in the game mind!) he booked him.

boundaryblue80 Posted September 29, 2008 Share Posted September 29, 2008 Yep, no way a penalty. If fact I can't believe he didn't book him for diving. He'd also pushed Hazell in the build up so should have been a free kick. Very happy to see I'm not the only one who spotted a ridiculously blatent push on Hazell...shouldn't have got anywhere near to whether it was a penalty or not.
