So it looks like Kenny has walked out because Norburn after all the pomp and ceremony of signing him has to be given the starting place in front of a far, far better player. This stinks. So much for loyalty too.
That first 40 minutes for me was as bad as we have played this season and we've had some shockers! If it wasn't for them 2 Albie Morgan strikes we could have seen another, turgid, negative 0-0 against the Grecians.
Coulson looked OK, a few good gives and flicks. He does, as the Boro fans said, fall over for no apparent reason.
Casey did everything right, nothing wrong. What a talent he has become.
Connolly did OK. Husband mediocre. Grimmy OK too.
Rhodes had another off day, Joseph too did his usual dashing all over the place without ever looking like a striker. I reckon he needs dropping, but that won't help either. We are missing Beesley. He can play the no.9 or no.10 and he scores. He holds it up and has physicality. Joseph is way off still.
Dembele too was nowhere near as effective as he has been. CJ won't make a challenge.
Yes it was a win but we were not convincing at all. Drop Norburn for Virtue and at least we won't be going back to the keeper when we are on the edge of the box attacking.
