BP1960 Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Avro v Ashton United cup final at BP tonight 7:45 Will probably be the best match seen this season and maybe some better players. Benny Couto should be playing for Ashton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It got me wondering has actually MM been to watch all our players out on loan? I've never heard of him doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've never heard of him doing that. Probably delegates that or relies on feedback from the loaned club. I'm surprised Benny has lasted this long at the club as he hasn't progressed at all despite being given chances the previous manager denied others.

How does he know a good player when he doesn't see them? It flies against his latest interview. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BP1960 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 Benny Couto best player on the field, but still light weight. I wouldn't write him off though. Ashton number 10 Cusani about 6ft 5" playing wide right is strange, but although lacking pace looks decent. 0-0 half time, a bit like watching Latics.

jsslatic Posted April 16 Share Posted April 16 Did Mellon go to this game? If so, why was he wasting his time there instead of watching Halifax when we play them on Thursday? If not, why wasn't he looking at available gems playing in his doorstep? I don't know the answers to these questions but I am angry about them. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know the answers to these questions but I am angry about them. I remember a story a while ago about our manager (possibly Wellens) travelling south on a Tuesday night to watch a game and getting pelters because he apparently should have been in Oldham training our players to play better.

BP1960 Posted April 16 Author Share Posted April 16 (edited) Couto had more attempts at goal (one hitting the crossbar and another cleared off the line) than Kitching has had all season- and defended well too. Some of his crosses were excellent. He should be given another season IMO. I know it was against Avro, but it was the ability and performance I looked at.

Ackey Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 Are you suggesting the quality of a fullback should be based on if they have enough shots? Kitching is flawed (he's playing in non-league, they all are) but surely he's been a better player than almost all the others this season? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed, but his form has tailed off alarmingly so Couto could have been an "interesting" late season alternative. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
100milesaway Posted April 17 Share Posted April 17 For me Kitching has been one of many disappointments. He never seems all that interested, when the opposition break he strolls back half arsed. can't kick with his right foot , can;t head a ball, and never gets a tackle in . Ok two or three times a game, he may get a cross in, but they never lead to anything . Just one of many with an attitude problem. I will be glad to see the back of him. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Agreed although it doesn't make Couto are more viable selection as some are suggesting. Fylde away he was the worse player on the pitch by a country mile, an absolutely shocking performance he's replicated with regularity since Christmas.

This was contrary to the Couto I saw last night who bombed forward at every opportunity, sent over some excellent crosses, particularly low and could have bagged 2 goals. Even against Mickelover and Hendon I don't recollect Kitching doing that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And most of all he couldn't possibly be worse than Kitching.. Lets at least have a look at the lad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
