Tunnicliffe - Why on EARTH is he not starting?

Right here, right now
He isnt in the team because he has made some bad mistakes and got caught in possession and is still learning and despite what many on here say he is not yet as good or reliable as Virgo.

Having said that when 1 -0 down I would have taken El Abd off not because he had -played bad and played 3 across the back with a 5 man midfield of Bennett Croft Dicker Cox and Tunnicliffe with Dicker driopping deep just in front of the back 3. This would have stopped them attacking down their right and we may have been able to pull Sean Gregan out of the middle by Bennett and Cox/ Tunnicliffe attacking their full backs. The added bonus of course would have been his long throw.
Why on earth would you put Tunnicliffe in midfield?!?! On the wing FFS?!?!?!?! Are you Micky Adams?!??!

Put Tunnicliffe at centre back where he belongs, with a fit Jake Wright next to him. They couldn't do any worse than Virgo and Elphick.

When all are fit and available, and the blow-ins have all f***ed off again, I'd like to see a back four of

Whing - Tunnicliffe - Wright - McNulty

They couldn't do any worse than the Anthill Mob who played today

Virgo is slow and clumsy, Elphick is slow. Neither can pass the ball or mark, other than that then they are almost good enough fo Newhaven rserves.

That was for today after about 65 minutes as we had nobody at left midfield and were never going to get a result so we needed to change to something unorthodox that they wouldn't have expected.

Why Whing , why not try to keep Hoyte a little longer as he is 10 x better and why Wright he is not in the same league having already failed at other FL clubs he was a panic buy and not good enough for div 1

They wouldn't have expected?!?! No doubt Tunnicliffe wouldn't have expected to come on and play right wing!!!!

I'm not really sure why Tunnicliffe is being played on the left hand side of our midfield. Obviously, the ideal team (including some players RIDICULOUSLY released in the summer) would be;

GK: Tommy Fraser
RB: Kevin McLeod
LB: Adam El-Abd
CB: Colin Hawkins
CB: Dean Cox
RM: Adam Virgo
LM: James Tunnicliffe
CM: Steven Thomson
CM: Robbie Savage
FW: Joe Gatting
FW: Jake Robinson

With that team, we'd be nailed on.
