Regarding what Custodian posted below, and to certain extent what 'anon' replied. Today was the first time I got up on a Sunday in two years and didn't want to go. Even during the first season, when we got mullered week in, week out, we stuck together. The occasional barney on the pitch was met by a quiet apology after and a pint in the bar where everything bar mistakes were mentioned.

What have we got now? Some internet warrior in the changing rooms who thinks he should be in the team (who doesn't think they should be? You wouldn't bother otherwise) slagging off people just because they are getting picked ahead of them. Slagging off a lad who gets up at 7am to get a train to Chester from Liverpool to come and pick a team that he has only played twice for so far this season, because he hasn't picked him. I would go back to that first season NOW, even if it meant having to apply for re-election, if it meant getting back to the original spirit of the Club.

Braz picks the team. End of story. As Custodian said, if you don't like getting dropped, ask him why to his face. If he doesn't think you are going to start, he will tell you. They don't come much nicer than Paul, which is possibly his biggest failing. He will give you a reason (when really he doesn't and shouldn't ever have to justify any of his decisions) why. As has been said before, on here and at various games, if you don't like having to fight for a place feel free to bring me a transfer form. I will happily sign it. I would ask you to stop slagging everyone off and creating tensions that the Club, and the team, do not need.

As stated below, I will tell Paul who has played well, and who has played less well, and who was shit (ahem!). Scott Morgans was superb today, Neil did well, and Burnsy is quality. Mellor did OK for someone who 'can only just walk upright' (still can't believe one of his mates, or team mates, said that behind his back). Others were not so good. The subs both did well when they came on. It will all go back.

On a more positive note, if we keep playing like we did today we will win (or draw!) more games than we lose. A bit more quality on the final ball, and a bit more cool in front of goal and we are as good a team as any we have played so far. Cheer up Anon, think about what I said about talking to Paul. His number was posted below, ring him. Let's put all the slating behind us and get back to enjoying the game. Again.
