One week we're slagging off Plowman, another week Jones or SPS, this week Willo.
Can't we just accept we luckily got the chocolates after a dire game in dismal conditions.
And look forward to the next game.
Willo was no worse than Weitering, Doc or Samo yesterday.
I thought that those four all had solid games.
At the start of the game Samo seemed desperate to get his boot to the ball; under instruction or a hangover from the two terrible frees paid against him last week? He settled down as the game went on and created opportunities with clever ball use.
Weitering was made to look bad by two awful umpiring decisions but he was his usual reliable self other than that.
Doc did some great work in defence but his role sometimes means that he gets caught out or leaves another defender under the pump. It wasn't ideal conditions for Doc ... or most of his teammates.
Willo lost the ball when Fyffe fluked a freakish "steal". That won't happen again for the rest of his career ... and probably not in Fyffe's either. Willo provides an element of hardness in what is a fairly benign defensive unit and I reckon he is developing nicely.
It would be nice if the critics could acknowledge that their whipping boy(s) had a good game :
On another note, I reckon the saying "Hard as a cat's head" should be replaced by "Hard as Simmo's head"
