I love Quinn but I don’t think he offers enough anymore to warrant him starting every game.

Laps was my motm tonight,, worked his backside off throughout. Mecca a close 2nd.
Can't agree in Gordon, he doesn't do it for me. First game back so maybe needs time but he still can't beat a man,, can't cross and is positionally weak. That said, I'd still sooner have him at RWB than Bowery or Akins.

Gordon skinned for their first goal and nowhere near making a challenge on the scorer of the second . O'tooles reaction towards Gordon will be the same as Cloughs . Look decent going forward but does not get back anywhere near quick enough to defend .

I have to say I was thinking the same, I think he had a part to play in both their goals last night, typical Gordon performance for me, promising going forward but doesn't do the basics defensively.

He’s 36 tomorrow. I’m not sure he would give us the speed and agility we are desperate for at centre half and appears to be similar to what we already have.

Gordon didn’t get skinned for the first goal. His positioning can be questioned, not sure why he felt the need to tuck in when he did. Macca and Hewitt got skinned for the second goal but no mention.

Gordon plays.
Rip him to shreds. Great stuff.

Even if you don’t rate him, we literally don’t have any other natural right wing backs.

The ‘unnatural’ wing backs will all do better than him for me, he’s not going to be here next season anyway.

Lots of absolutes there. He’s clearly our best RWB. I don’t know how you could have watched him lasy night and thought he didn’t have a great game.

A number of times Bowery broke up play, intercepted the ball, passed the ball out well and generally was defensively sound.
Just got done by misjudging the bounce of the ball and the rest is history.
