Two 25 yarders... Unfortunate?

Wouldn't guess he was the direct fault, but I think it was a poor substitution, and I am confident Dean Wilkins will learn from this, and thought 'maybe I could of dealt it better'.Race said:So are you saying that Tank was at fault for the goals then?
Fragmented Badger said:No, not at all. I didn't go to the game, and I only had half my attention on the radio. He may have been nowhere near the goal, let alone the ball, for all I know when the ball hit the net x 3. My point is what the hell is Wilkins playing at throwing on a bloke who hasn't played all season, and is coming back from a reasonably serious injury at a time when:
1) The game is tight
2) We are DEFENDING a corner
3) He cannot possibly be match fit after such a lay off
4) Southend are a better team than us, hence are likely to provide not the most comfortable of returns
Now it just seems a totally ludicrous moment to put Butters on. It simply wasn't the right time, you cannot expect a player to return to such a vital position after an absence into such a high pressure situation and to still win the game 1-0. Also, we were 3-1 up against 10 men with 20 minutes to go on Saturday. Surely to GOD that was the time to give him a gentle run out. He could have strolled around against Orient, knocked the ball around a bit, and got back into action the easy way. Compare that to the situation we found ourselves in tonight, and I am shocked at that substitution.
As I said, I don't know who was involved in the goals tonight, but I do feel that substitution by Wilkins may have cost us. It's his first black mark in my book of judgment on him

Whereas McGhee....
No, McGhee would blame everyone else expect him.Withdean Wanderer said:Wheras McGhee you would be calling a 'f*cking pr*ck lardy jock arse clown bla bla bla bla'.

Kuipers would be my bet.

Since when has Dean Wilkins been the guy going around blaming other people other than himself?Withdean Wanderer said:So you are a mind reader now. Wilkins would "think" better than McGhee? And you know that McGhee would blame others, whereas Wilkins says f*ck all on the subject and so get's away with it?
Christ, you could be a rich man with skills like that
