Mansfield Town v Exeter City MDT

[The Proper Chap]

Matt Taylor mentioned the spine of our team several times during his interview.

Has he been reading Exeweb:

Spine of our team this season.......

Question marks over: Centre backs, jury is out on McCardle, Dean has some decent attributes however I think he would be better as a holding midfielder, as a centre back he isn't quick, he isn't big or great in the air, his main assets are his passing and composure. Could he do the job Collins...

Yeah coz no-one in football has mentioned a spine of a team before, egotistical meaningless drivel, from an egotist meaningless poster.

Sorry pb. I just immediately thought of 'life of Brian'.

Pretty decent performance and a much better balance to the team with Jake in the middle and Williams back in the side, Key was outstanding like was said in commentary...Joel Randall also grew into the game and kept the Mansfield defenders busy, I really liked the way he’s able to shift the ball around the edge of the opponents penalty box like he also did at Salford...Overall a tough start to the season against three of the more fancied teams and we look very competitive side.

Collins shouldn't be in our strongest side.

This is absolute rubbish.

You still missing your comfort blanket Pobby, i.e. Paul Tisdale ??

This is absolute rubbish.

Why ?

Collins isn't offering enough defensively to be playing in front of Law.

If Collins was a rock solid defensive midfielder you would have a point, he isn't so you don't.

Playing Law instead of Collins would not weaken us, Collins gives the ball away far too often.

Collins is a good dribbler, passer, and his positional play is up there. Just because he’s not making big tackles it doesn’t mean he can’t defend.
