[mk_bha]

Passes attempted in career - 147
Passes incompleted - 147
Passes to opposition - 147


good tackler but passing is probably the WORST i have ever seen, he makes a 1999 Mayo look like a world class passer.



watson - come back.

I would persevere with AH for a bit... a little composure and more active midfield (there was almost never a good short pass available for him - where was Harty ?) and he could be a really useful right back.

 

[CHAPPERS]

Do you think Watson would have made up the ground to make that last ditch tackle last night

I f***ing don't.

Hinsh is doing okay, he is a centre back not a right back and IMHO is doing rather well.

Hinsh is much better than Watto in a defensive role.

If Watto was still as lethal at set pieces as he was 2/3 years ago it wouldnt be an issue, but the truth is Watsons distribution in general has gone rapidly downhill.

Hinsh is young, strong and doing a good job. Composure on the ball will come, and playing him at full back now will improve his passing and make him a better centre-back, his natural role.

I think Hinsh is a much better defender but that Watson is (or at least can be) a better passer. AH's passing as been very poor but his tackling has been excellent. He's only young - I'm sure Coppell will work on his passing.

I though Hinsh had a very good game last night, certainly his best yet at full-back. As Chappers says, he's really a centre-half and certainly looks more composed in the middle.

Watto would NEVER have made that saving tackle last night. I would pick Adam ahead of Watto.

 

[Cadman]

Why isn't Hinsh playing alongside Cullip with Pethwick at Fullback. It all seems so obvious to me, I must be missing something.

If Butters was man of the match last night then I know I'm missing something.

I must be getting old.!!

Is it me.?

 

[Hilton]

Robbie Pethick scares me at full back!

 

[Gritt23]

It seems that Pethick doesn't quite fit in anywhere. Was I the only one shocked to see him come on at Colchester? Was he supposed to be a holding midfielder?

Pethick has only looked good to me at centre-back, yet we bought him as a full back.

I agree that Hinsh's distribution is poor, but at least he can defend which is after all his primary function in the team. It is something he needs to work on, as do the the rest of the team, but IMHO he's a far better stopper than paul watson.
