There was also the 6-1 at Hull where Whitmore ended up in goal.
Even in an irrelevant competition like this, getting hammered isn’t good for us, how could it be? We kept the scoreline more respectable against Walsall. Making allowances for a rookie keeper and Sutton and Harris coming back from injury, you still have to wonder about some performances. Ellis and Caprice have seen a fair bit of action this season, but can’t have advanced any claim for a recall here. Williams has been with us for a few weeks now, only staying until January, would have thought he’d be closer to match fitness than reported. Assume he played in central midfield? What has gone wrong with Tollitt since that promising cameo at Stevenage and why is DMH seeing any action on current form? Neither forward was taken off, even though Mullin unlikely to start on Friday, presumably means they did ok, despite no goals.
BBTC asks about keepers. Luke Pilling is loaned out at Ashton United until January, player of the month there. Don’t know about George’s situation any thoughts on the comparative strengths of him and Wharton?
