Virgo is a good defender but is just lacking form, Central defence is one of the few positions where you can carry a bit extra

exactly, people have short memories and forget the size and turn of pace of a certain Tank. Virgo will come good, he has the experience and just needs to compete a bit more for a place, no bad thing.

Not fussed about Virgo he has not put in the performances since him came back. Deserved to be dropped ages ago.

Quite. It's like he regards it as his retirement contract or something, same as Adams did when he came back. Big boned boy needs taking outside his comfort zone bigtime.

I just hope he (AV) can find it in his heart to give Gus the benefit of the doubt over this biz innit..

Central defence is one of the few positions where you can carry a bit extra (not that i think he does)

It's not a place where you can be mentally and physically slow and clumsy though.

Virgo, to me, just doesn't look fit. He looks like he's carrying a bit of upper body weight, which is clearly not acceptable for a pro footballer. He seems to be slow and lumbering this season. I don't doubt he's a great defender at his best - he's PROVED that for us at a higher level than we're at now. But a kick up the arse is what he needs right now I think, so I was quite pleased to see him dropped.

It's also a real statement of intent by Gus, to drop the captain for his first game. Just shows that some of our players who have egos mean NOTHING to a guy of his calibre.

As for Crofts, well I think he's been shit most of the season, totally anonymous and nothing more than a runner. Today was the first time where I can, hand on heart, say I thought he was excellent.

Well that last paragraph tells me all I need to know about your football knowledge. It is a game of opinions, but your opinion always seems to be at odds with most other fans.
