P...p..per..perh!! I wouldn't say he was a weak link, or even an under-performing player. Just he couldn't organise a piss-up in a brewery!! How much evidence do you need??
I've only ever been to one piss up in a brewery, at Mansfield Breweries. It was organised on the afternoon of our 0-0 draw in the 1st Leg 2nd Round tie at Mansfield Town in 1980. I remember nothing about the game.
Well that sounds like it was written only with reference to somebody who half-watched the Donny game last weekend. That being the only game they've seen of us this season. Very poor effort.
You have to give the report some credit, as they've identified Frank Nouble as Ipswich's weak link! Actually, I personally don't think Crainie is as good as people make out. Wouldn't go as far as dropping him for M'Voto though! He gave the ball away twice trying to dribble out of the box yesterday when he should know better and as Mr C says, to say he's the captain and has played at a good level, the defence looks shaky whenever we're defending a cross or a set piece, when he should be organising it. He certainly needs to give Frimpong some idea what to do when we're defending a corner, because it was comical last night watching him wandering round not knowing where to stand, whether to mark anybody, etc. Hopefully they will have identified this and are doing something about it, but if Millwall get a corner on Saturday keep your eyes on Frimpong!
I'm always intrigued by the notion we Brits have of 'the captain' it's very much a Britishbthing stressing the importance in most of Europe it's an honorary position pretty meaningless. I know Capello was very puzzled by all the fuss.
