I was more surprised that he took one so late rather than actually missing. He was the pantomime villain to the FGR fans after a couple of minor skirmishes, so it was all set up for him to miss really, but as an experienced senior player, in a fairly meaningless competition, I'd like to have seen him take responsibility a little sooner. Perhaps not in the 5 if he's not so proficient (although any player should really fancy his chances in a shoot out) but perhaps in at eg 6th.
He took some unnecessary flak before that, I guess due to the last couple of mediocre performances, but although FGR didn't offer much by way of an attacking threat, he was far from the worst player on our team last night. The front three were woeful. I wont hang some of the kids out as they're still learning at this level, but Baka really should have taken this chance to stake a claim and he was again dreadful. I also expected Kelly to boss the middle and dictate the play in there, but he looked a bit short at times. Wakefield before his injury (made of glass!) offered very little and I fail to see what he adds, I can't see him being here past this season unless he really steps up. Zain was probably the pick of the bunch in the middle and Wilson did nothing wrong in goal, but I'd like to have seen a few banging on the door to try and be included Sunday.
