Agree with you on whiting, being saying all season he should be in the 17, that preformance puts him ahead of the likes of Sa, Hadley and Thomspon for a bench spot.
We've had worse halves but we just looked really flat in attack and our defence looked a lot less solid than normal, did a lot of scrambling. Can't complain too much when we won though.

I'm frustrated because you see the same errors time and again, not just player errors but stuff like misuse of the squad, misuse of the bench, player disharmony, utter failure on the field like they've come out with completely the wrong mindset, all of which the coach is in charge of. I've given praise every time we've played well and likewise I've voiced my opinion when we haven't, that's being the case far more than the former the last 2 seasons, if that comes across as 'complaining' then that's totally misunderstood. Rightful criticism of how we are playing, how we are coached and what is going on in the background at the club. If people can't differentiate that's their problem not mine. As I said there are plenty of things going on in the background that isn't down to LR (though it appears he has influence in certain areas) that are just beyond a joke. I find our incredibly poor form over the last 2 seasons under Radford sickening, I find AP to be doing as much damage as he does good, if not more so. So when you have posters on here going into one swearing at you, calling you names, deliberately baiting because you voice an opinion one reacts. You yourself are guilty of it albeit not as bad as some clowns. As far as I'm concerned LR has outstayed his welcome, he's not good enough now, he'll never be good enough his attitude stinks, he is unable to take criticism and/or accept that the buck stops with him, I find him to generally be an unsavoury character with his bully boy tactics with the younger players that's my opinion based on what's happened nothing more. So when you have posters stating that he (LR) has outcoached (the god) Powell and given that particular posters taste for a bit of brown nosing amongst others on this forum whom can barely acknowledge if at all Radfords failings one feels obliged to point out the error in their thinking. I do it objectively from what I see on the terrace and how he handles matters, or rather doesn't. It comes across as ridiculous that where we are now compared to the upward trend under PG as being acceptable, a couple of great performances & a few good ones apparently is enough to slake certain fans. I'm not one of them and I'm prepared to vent my feelings
These bully boy claims are obviously facts.

At halftime I was ready to call it a day and settle for playing Fev, Halifax etc after what I thought was an abysmal 40 minutes. The second half, although we went hell for leather, still had the same old same old about it. No dummy runners and the inside ball drop off getting us nowhere. Not a real lot to get euphoric over, imo, yet we showed plenty of glimpses of what we are capable of. We need more of them `glimpses` to really threaten and frighten the others in the top 8. The big plus for me was the effort put in by our young guns. It seemed that they had said `Sod the play book let us do it our way` and it worked, in the end. Massive massive confidence boost for the Derby and hopefully the playoffs.
Life should not be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out and proudly proclaiming `Wow, what a ride`
