I am pretty sure they said Ratchford. Smith seems to have bulked up a fair bit...he looked like a rag doll last season.

It looks like a few players are carrying knocks after today's game. Next weeks game should see a rest for a few players.

I think it was Scruton

Not much from Roberts ..... again

Roberts is still not justifying his salary nor the fanfare that preceded him. His presence does however seem to have given Brown more time and freedom to show what he is capable of.

Ben Kavanagh I think.

Given the rumours about Roberts being homesick, I can quite honestly say I don't think the team would miss him all that much.

He isn’t doing much individual stuff but when he has the runners he is picking the right options. I’m worried that there is no one ready to replace Roberts who has the experience of picking the right options. I’m as disappointed as anyone that he isn’t taking on the line more but I really don’t know where there is a suitable replacement available.

Let’s give him a chance as the team slowly gets into the groove attacking-wise... by the end of the summer we’ll have a better idea of what we are capable of. We are third in the league and probably the fourth best team at present. If someone had offered that at the end of last season I think most on here would be pretty happy, as frustrating as we can be...

Roberts was very close to going off after two minutes. At one time he was going to be replaced but they then had a change of mind. He then had his ankle strapped up but never looked happy. He was trying to keep out of trouble and he did lots of high tackles. He's obviously also got a knee problem.
Currie is another who looks like he's keeping out of trouble for obvious reasons.

We should stay patient.

Aha... Poor old Sean O'Loughlin must have been suffering from that ankle problem all his career
