Yes I thought the same. Micky has been a bit hard done by arguably….A penny for Mellon's thoughts reading that.......

Adkins was present, sat next to PaliosFairly mundane end to the season. Taylor looked promising, Tom Davies strong and Hawkes and JDC looked good in patches. Bristow had a day to forget, although think he was involved in the ball across the box needing a touch to get a goal.
Hemmings was manhandled by their big no 6 in the first half and given no protection at all by the mediocre referee. Doesn’t really look like scoring or get into a position to score in games like this. If we are able to move him on, I wouldn’t argue.
On the age balance we went from being the oldest squad to one of the youngest. Hoping we can strike the right balance, but will need some youngsters to maintain the development model. Need to find a decent striker for this level, pay the going rate and get them embedded early, we can do the thrift elsewhere.
Was Adkins there today?
Yes, absolutely crucial that we bring in a decent centre forward or next season will be a case of rinse and repeat.Need to find a decent striker for this level, pay the going rate and get them embedded early, we can do the thrift elsewhere.
Based on today's showing there is a stong argument Taylor should have been played much earlier this season by MM.A penny for Mellon's thoughts reading that.......
Mellon blooded numerous young players this and last season, several of whom will probably be sold for money in the summer.Based on today's showing there is a stong argument Taylor should have been played much earlier this season by MM.
Very unlucky not to score his second in two games and was in space so many times it was unreal. Looked like he needed better playes to find him! We will find out next season but locking him in for 2 years might prove to be a lovely piece of business by MP given we sold Doohan for £100k. He could do very well for us.
I just don't get how inept Mumbongo is. He must know what his attributes are and what would be expected of him, but he just doesn't make or have any physical contact with the opposition CBs. What does he think he's there for. At least Hemmings was there backing in and battling without the same physical attributes of Mumbongo.I know it was experimental time but players such as Taylor, Mumbongo and Burton should be nowhere near the first team. We have to strengthen a hell of a lot over the next few months. I'm not convinced.
As the development project is going to continue, we are going to have young inexperienced players in the mix though Ian. There’s an argument that even without the project, there’s a need for some young blood in a team for the energy it provides.Taylor has done fairly well in the last two games but I don't think we should get carried away. He's very young and inexperienced. We do not want to go down this road again. We need experienced pros that can do the business.
