We play 16,17,18 and 20 in the league. If we get on a roll then hopefully we can get 7 points or more. Really hope for 9. McCourt left, o'brien right. Much better look to it. Plus we have nyatanga and ramage to return to challenge in defence. Fingers crossed we are turning that corner!!
I think the team are starting to gel now. We've had the same side three games on the bounce and I finally think its starting to click. I would play O'Brien instead of Mellis, but I reckon that's the only change I'd make for now. I said we needed at least 12 points from this stretch of 6 very winnable games, Okay that's still 2 wins and a draw away, but we're certainly starting to look the part again. If only we could go for 90 minutes.
After tonight think it will take a lot of people a long time to forgive/forget looked like he lacked desire and quality. If he comes back as good as he can play I'd say he could be a home option instead of fox.
It's strange that he went off after making a tackle. I've said elsewhere he should dye his hair or change his name to Paddy McMellis
He did put a few challenges in to be fair before he went off. I like him when he's on his game but he hasn't been this season. Let's hope he improves, as do a few others. We need all reds players in it together. Let's hope a bit of a run, support and confidence can help the whole squad
Unfortunately Mellis is made of glass and not really upto playing as part of a 2 in the middle. 3 yes but a 2? no way!!!
Keep playing someone out of position where they are not comfortable and unsurprisingly they don't look particularly good. Aye drop a creative player for a toiler. Worked earlier in the season when we had 3 in midfield didn't it... RNL would be a better option than Jim. Don't get me wrong he played very well last night but nothing I've seen in him (and I think I've seen every game he's played for us) indicates he can sustain that.
