Agreed, and part of the issue for some is lack of consistency. Sweeney, for example, can be so reliable and then unexpectedly cost you a goal or cause a panic through dopey play or switching off and it looks as though it will cost him his place at the club

I still think he’ll go on to have a good career if he can cut out the mistakes.

Don’t think so! He may end up in the National League as he is not good as Football League defender.

He dithered on the penalty at Salford last week as well .
It looks like Sweeney may not get offered new terms . I don't think it will b because of that as the manager is clear whose fault it was.
Personally if the terms were right for the club , I would keep him as a back up centre half .

And yet all have had outstanding games, somewhere their is a answer and perhaps possibly 5 departing sends it own message, we need to do better.
Leaves one question will Menayese and Stech see out there contract, with 8 coming in i doubt it

Nigel said, after the Rawson collision, that the players do not communicate enough. This is an example of it. A clip to show all those that kick a ball from the age of ten.
If the Keeper doesn’t tell you where he wants it, put it out and defend the next phase, whether it be a throw in or goal kick. Sod waiting for it, deal with it and give the keeper an almighty round of abuse, the sort of language Bellwiff would be proud of, afterwards.
If he does tell you, stick it exactly there or if you don’t hear him clear it. Dithering doesn’t help.
Those two dithered and neither took responsibility so they both take the blame.
In short if those two were after the same woman in a night club it’s no wonder that the lad from Oldham walked out with her for the kebab and taxi home.
