    Ahhh, so that's about 8 minutes extra or so?

    I'm not talking age, experience, what they can offer for the future- just interested that on face value, and what they offered in respective games, some people see Patty as offering more and not deserving to be dropped whilst Nicky apparently did.
    I knew him as a gentle young man, I cannot say for sure the reasons for his decline
    We watched him fade before our very eyes, and years before his time

    I was at both games and Vespa, given his youthful enthusiasm, made the forward line come to life on Saturday.
    I think you'll find it has a lot to do with attitude and personality.
    You'll find one has, and one hasn't the above.

    Its team selections like these that make me reconsider renewing my membership next year. I'm more than willing to pay a full membership and see us sit 3rd bottom if we are building and blooding youth. But to cut Vez after his performance last week is just crap.

    You're dreaming.

    The reality is Veszpremi is part of the future of the club, I don't think Davis is.
    (Mind you, I'm not on the Anti Davis bandwagon, I'm just hearing not so good things)

    I won't argue that at this stage of their careers Patty should have more football in front of him that Nicky, I'm talking about what they offer in games right now.

    I know you're not, I'm just being an arse

    As always.
    It wasn't put there for your sake, others like to jump to wrong conclusions.

    If you're talking right now. Then Davis offers nothing.
    Uninjured and firing, Davis would be in the 22.
    However, he has not been in the 1's for most of the season. Players of his quality, aren't dropped for no reason. There has to be some consideration given to the fact that, as outsiders, we know jack @@@@ about the goings on in the club. I'd love as much as many other people to see Davis in the 1's, but the fact he was not able to get back to the standard required. Whatever that maybe.
    Veszpremi got some games, which indicates he has met the criteria the club has set for the players.
    Both playing at their best. I reckon Davis would get the nod above Veszpremi.
    However, we have to look at the reality.

    That said, I'm extremely dissapointed that Vezpremi was dropped.

    That's assuming he was dropped, he's listed as an emergency so I guess he is injured? It will be interesting to see who lines up for the magoos.

    Que?

    If he was injured, surely he wouldn't be listed.

    True with the magoos, as they play earlier that afternoon.

    I cant believe the hysteria in this thread.
    Surely it should be reserved for the final we play?

    What difference does a dead rubber make? Maybe they would prefer to rest Vespa before the finals? If he's fit he will certainly get a run next week.
    He ate more cheese, than time allowed
