There's a right moaner sits behind us. One of those people who seems happier when he's moaning. Today he was sitting with someone new. Someone who obviously hasn't been recently. So, from the outset, he's off, describing the team's deficiencies. Hammill not effective enough, Wabara useless. So by the second minute he began his anti Winnall rant. I was getting a bit fed up. Then up pops Sam. 1-0 . " Well, he's scored, so that's a surprise". Sorry pal, but that crap player has scored 9 in a struggling side, half way through the season. He's on course for 18 this season. Give the lad a break (and some of the others). He even didn't like Hammill's outrageous bit of skill to beat the full back.
There was an old bloke who used to sit behind me in the Ponty who was like that. Constant moaning no matter what. Every time the opposition scored, he'd shout "it's theeer" in a manic depressive tone. I remember one game, possibly against Stockport, where the opposition had a very speculative pop at goal which seemed to be dribbling straight into Kevin Miller's hands. "It's theeer!" shouted the old tool, and a millisecond later the ball hit a divot and bounced into the net. "Ah tooald thee".
I called Winnall dog **** a minute before he scored, so from now on i will continue to call him, dog ****.
This fella started on Williams the minute he came on. Too light weight, loses the ball too often - just as he crashed through two challenges, and came away with the ball.
Williams looks the business finally. Maybe that long lay off has done him some good. These little cameos we are seeing are showing what a player he is. Just needs a start now. Once he does, and gets a goal or two, he will be a cracker of a player. How Watkins is getting in ahead of him baffles me. Marley took his goal well today but didn't do enough to stay on once we started making changes.
Think Marley tired, later on, but thought he was outstanding in first half. Won the ball back time and again, harried, caused mistakes. My MOM. Do like the look of Williams though.
