do you think you wrote kerry off to early ern ?

On what people are saying about him yesterday, then definitely, but he started off very well lasy year and then tailed off very badly. I hadn't been impressed with him pre season and was amazed he started if I'm honest. Let's hope he is a bit stronger than last year and can keep it up. Having Harsley there will obvioulsy be helping him. A bit of competition certainly won't do us any harm in the middle.

Harsley is a seasoned pro who has been around and has the mileage on the clock. You don't captain a side without having some abilities so I think his qualities were under estimated.

As for Kerry he can tackle and run and gets about the pitch well but last year he was just a light weight after the first few games and offered little.

What about Kerry, what did he bring?

Pretty much the same. Tenacity and tackling, but used the ball well when he had it.

Is Rob the new Nicky Law (the player)?

Yes.

He'll give Jack a run for POTS.

What about Allegro, he's come in for some stick pre season?

Fualtless yesterday. Big, strong, solid, great positional sense, well timed tackles. Great partnership at the back in those 2

He was strong in the air but rushed a few clearances and fluffed them and it could have cost us against a more clinical side.

His lack of pace was highlighted too by Birchill and the lad on their right wing in the second half when he cut across him.

Certainly not slating the guy but i think he will lose his place to Downes once he gets his chance.

From his debut at Gainsborough I've said on here that he looks Ricco's best signing so far.

He had a belting game on sat, in fact they all did, balance shape and organisation accross the pitch. It was nice to see.

Who's responsible for this "balance, shape and organisation across the pitch" thing?

LR, he selects the side.

They are all more interested in throwing bricks than watching the match so their views can be taken with a pinch of salt
