richardson had to play all 3 else it would have ben a wasted time signing them,i heard that the sunderland pairing were decent types,as for the 3 that missed out well it is a fact that niven and robertson are not good enough,niven has had a really poor season ,the way he plays the game he can only get worse as the years go on imo,robertson isnt the answer for town either,he is weak and slow from a standing start ,probably why players get round the back of him,as for ward well he will be ok,but needed dropping as his play has started to go downhill the more fustrated he gets with his lack of goals
I liked Hartleys strenght but I to perosnally think Robbo is a better left back for us, having said that it's only one showing for the new lad and with Robbo definately out for a while we have time to see him more.
I to thought the game went against us more after Fletch came on and I would also have stretched them with the introduction of Wardy! It was crying out for him to rum at um as they were commited to getting something out of the game! Fletch and Jack where never going to do this in a million years and this was proved as I don't think we had a shot in the 2nd half, which in turn invited pressure on us, with Bazza saving us on a couple of occasions! Nearly made a clanger in the 1st half infront of the kop though, but reacted quick to snuff out the danger.
I also agree with MP, it was a very dull poor game with neither side mustering much in the way of chances! But the three positives I take from the game are that we took all three points for the first time in long time lol, battled as a team (at long last) and I got to see us win on my birthday
