I like it a lot, but I would have liked Atkinson in too.

I'd like to have Atkinson in and it would be good to see Houli given a go.

Really like the team!!! Keep it this way, have Prismall, Houli and Atkinson as fringe players. Keep the team like this for the rest of the season. Besides Pears I think there's a good structure to work on and develop.

McVeigh names in the midfeild
Stanton named in the half backline

surely that's not how it will run out?

Not a bad team.

Hille when fit must be brought straight back in too.

Paddy MUST fire up.

NO lacklustre performances from ANYONE (players or coaches).

We've got those 28pts to go after don't forget.

easily interchangeable into the side.

I can see how we have so many guys with potential. We definitely don't have a solid 22 that pick themselves.

Happy with all that except how Stanton is getting a game ahead of Atkinson is beyond me.
I don't necessarily think Stanton is sh*t, like many on here, but he's in rotten, rotten form. Atkinson on the other hand hasn't done a lot wrong (except maybe make a pass at Knights' missus?)

I don't get the Stanton bashing at all. Although, I didn't get the Prismall bashing at one point and changed my mind haha. I'll watch carefully this week.

Pretty good ins this week... can't recall Dyson getting injured last week though...

Our spine looks a hell of a lot stronger with Fletch and Gumby back!!

Is is a sad f****** indictment on our midfield that a twig of a first year player in Melkseham is not only almost an automatic selection, he is more accountable, harder at it and plays with more passion and skill than pretty much the rest of the midfield rotation, with the exception of Watson (alhough he is also more skillful than Jobe).

Sure blokes like Palmer, Rich and Selwood have come in and ripped it up from day one but they have been far more physically developed than Melkesham is.
