But, consdiering we had Beattie in the starting line up, Stanley's corners were disastrous - get someone other than Luke Joyce to take them. His were abysmal last night. In fact, give the lad a rest; he looked jiggered and I'm not convinced he is the man to inspire the team when things get bad. It would be nice to see a Proctor or Hessey-like personality. I'm not suggesting we resign either; but someone who can organise and cajole colleagues appears to be missing.
And let's see least two players moving forwards into space and WANTING the ball at throw-ins.

Exile !...doesn't this confirm to a large extent my earlier posting regarding the lack of a true leader on the pitch ?,
not just someone wearing the Captain's armband whose concern for his own lacklustre performances must be uppermost in his mind !....not the ideal situation for one expected to drive and motivate others !...
I hope that my original premise: that in the absence of a true leader the best that a team can do is merely to tick-over and eventually stagnate doesn't happen as far as our team are concerned, but it is certainly one area which is causing me a niggling worry or two !
