Phil staley hit the nail on the head our centre halfs are great against big strong strikers but struggle against pace. Played very well today however really but himself about too.

Not a big fan of Phil Staley, but agree with the pace thing. Would've been nice to see Tunnicliffe get the accolade today after all the flack he's got (from myself as well and rightly so at times). Can't fault anyone today but Tunny must have thrown himself in there and blocked at least half a dozen shots and seemed more assured in front of Jones. His best game for a good while and showed a glimpse of his former self.

I don't think he hit the nail on the head at all. We've come up against strength and no pace loads of times in the last couple of seasons and got done nearly every time. It's a ridiculous comment. We had a good day and played well. Simple as that IMO.

Hardly ridiculous. So you think Charnock and Tunnicliffe are comfortable when up against pace?

No, but to say we're 'great' against strength or big strikers is laughable.

James Tunnicliffe did play well though and it was good to see him actually attack a cross and score. A performance like that though is so rare, we really need it to happen more often.

Yeah you're probably right "great" is over egging it a bit. Look more in their comfort zone is probably more accurate description.

Certainly his best game for some time he looked confident although didn't think there centre forward offered a great deal to be honest, definitely a lot better, quite like Duxbury myself looks comfortable, strong for a young lad doesn't seem to waste the ball either.

Agree 100% about Duxbury.He and Moses look our best fullback pairing for some time.Tunnicliffe looked more like his old self yesterday.The defence in general looked more secure and there was real commitment throughout the team. I also think we are a more cohesive unit with Jevons in the side. There is still room for improvement,but we look to be on the mend.
