Red Skin Posted August 22, 2004 Report Share Posted August 22, 2004 First game of the season for me yesterday and I thought Bradley was poor. Seemed to give the ball away especially in the second half and (like Wilkshire) seemed to be off the pace of the game most of the time. However, he seems to get around the park effortlessly and harried the opposition pretty well most of the time especially chasing back to cover for Smith. Even managed a couple of Tommy-like interceptions. Ultimately I think he'll be OK. It's a big ask to expect someone playing reserve football (albeit for Prem side) to immediately slot in and make an impact. Don't forget he's settling into a new area too without (I think) the support of a long-term girlfirend like Gillespie has. I'll bet half the (experienced) players playing for the Prem stiffs spend most of the game just trying not to get injured rather than getting stuck in so you wonder how much real blood and guts football we see at this level the likes of Orr and Wilkshire have actually experienced. Give Orr time. Wilkshire to step in for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brady bunch Posted August 23, 2004 Report Share Posted August 23, 2004 And lita didnt score today... Should we drop him and try the Miller/Heffernan combination? ← Yes, this must happen, Lita does score, but also lose's the ball alot and cannot hold up or link play, he buts us under pressure too much.
