    I wouldn't write him off Jimmy, he obviously has talent. There must be discipline & I know for a fact that Danny is very keen on that. For me Digby if fit should
    have the shirt & Frimpong needs to work to win it back. Simple as.

    No. Just factual.

    I personally think he may be on the sidelines for a while, with the players we have brought in. He will miss 3 for the straight red, unless it's appealed, which I doubt.

    In a 442 formation I'm not sure where he fits in. He can't play wide, his passing is hit & miss & he can't tackle.

    You say all that, yet today is all Frimpong's fault? Bizarre.

    Not really. If Frimpong had been on the pitch he could have made a tackle, cleared the ball off the line, even made a last ditch fowl on the edge of the box & then walked.

    Those would all have been facts IF he had been on the pitch.

    Mellis is a better player when he's not in the team, when we actually watch him play we realise how little he does.

    No, they are purely hypothetical.

    I generally agree. For me him & Cwyka are only impact players at championship level.

    Championship level defenders know how to read them & its only if they come on in the last 20 when legs are tired that they usually score / create.

    Mellis is a footballer, but his all round game is lacking.
