I know, I feel really bad but fk it, it's ridiculous that he's still around and getting games ahead of promising youth.

I'm not sure that we have too many promising youth. If they're good enough, they should be selected before Davey but I want them to earn promotion, not have it gifted because they have potential.

Your point is valid though, he shouldn't be on our list.

Ellard has a calf. Smith comes in as an emergency.

I think that Whiley is replacing Ellard.

Well he was in ahead of Holman last week, who managed to do more in a quarter than Davey did all game!

The return of Jamo might free up White to play as a swingman or even in the midfield like he did against the tiggers in round 1.

If White is not needed in defence he should be playing in the magoos.

Really?

I know it was a while back now, but remember round 1 where he played as a midfielder/tagger? Played probably his best game for the club and got the kudos from almost everyone. Since then he has pretty much played where he has out of necessity. Now he might get the chance to play to his strengths and you wanna send him packing?

If he could repeat that performance that's fine but I don't think he has it in him. For example if he was to play forward I would rather give Watto another crack at it TBH.

So would I, but Watto's injured.

With Docherty out, White has a chance to play as a smaller, more attacking defender. It should suit him more than what he has been asked to do in more recent weeks.

Yes, it will be interesting to see if he is given a more attacking role. He lacks the run of Docherty but is better overhead, particularly if he isn't matched up with a taller opponent. A few contested marks in the midfield would be a positive.
