What's with all the PC crap about fans not being fans if they single out a player? If a play plays crap, then he plays crap. If a play plays crap 8 weeks on the trott or like Lochhead has, consistently all season, then the question needs to be asked, why is he still starting? Very poor crosses, being caught out of position and giving away possession time after time.
What a complete load of bollocks.
As a die hard 'nix fan, I'm getting frustrated by the obvious fact Ricki has favourites within the squad. Lochhead should have been dropped weeks ago to give the lad a rest, a refresh and a chance to come back with vengence. I believe the other defenders work a lot harder, and sure make mistakes too, but not with the consistency Lochhead has this season. If Ricki can sit on the bench and happily watch Lochhead waste possession or fluff cross after cross, then jog back into defense without a care in the world - then there's something wrong in Ricki's player performance evaluations. A couple of decent headers in a game (that any left back should be making anyway) doesn't balance up with 3 poor crosses and half a dozen stray passes. THe guy then made the mistake that made them all look bad and put Durante in the position he did.
I'd have liked to see Durante at Left back with Sigmund and Dodd in the middle, and Manny on the right. It's probably too late in the day now with the suspensions and injuries.
More shots required x 10!
Oh yeah - top-value in that comment. So you reckon Lochhead is top of his game then...?!
Until you start making sense, that's the kind of response you get.
Lochead is the best lef back we have, and he deserves the place in the team. His standard this season hasn't been as good as last (particularly in regard to going forward and crossing), but overall has been solid.
Oh yeah - solid as the last 2 mins of that game. He's been caught out of position in every game this season.
Less of the arrogant crap mate. You've got a soft spot for him obviously, let it go.
