Discipline

[buzzgate]

As i said in a thread before yesterdays game I and other Margate supporters saw a first team squad player all over the place in Margate at 1am - the day of our biggest match of the season with a 1pm start! I was fragile at that time, I wonder how he felt. OK he didnt come on but surely that is a disgraceful way to conduct yourself. No doubt he will play on wednesday as well. Seems Trotty has little regard for discipline. I find it shameful.

Unfortunately buzzgate, it seems our young footballers down here in Tier 7 appear to emulate same from Tier 1!!! Except the fact that ours fall out of Franks and Premiership footballers fall out of Stringfellows!!!!

[buzzgate]

indeed, but to do it on the eve of the Thanet derby beggars belief. I imagine he was seen by many - not that he could have seen anyone!

Now I wonder who you mean Buzzgate

[buzzgate]

Something that concerned me from the start, i guess i shouldnt - and am not - surprised, but it can hardly help current matters.

Name and Shame !!!!

I will leave that to Buzzgate, as he saw him.

[buzzgate]

well let's just say he was the oldest of the substitutes (and should therefore know better!)

[buzzgate]

As an update of sorts a couple of players i have spoken to says Trott is well aware of what happened (not from me i would add). I guess the rest is down to the manager.

This might account for some bewilderment on my part & lack of substitutions yesterday then, if it is who I think it is.

[buzzgate]

Did it confirm anything Cookie? what subs were you expecting?

[Cookie]

No,it wasn't the player I was thinking of.I thought for a minute it might have been Corbishley(apologies Roberto)thinking he was the eldest of the bunch. I got that wrong.

I was wondering why he wasn't brought on & Peters pushed forward replacing Rob or Charlie(who both weren't having a good game)on the day & after we had gone one down.I was also wondering why Trotty wasn't using Roberto more both leading up to the game as well as on Saturday.

Mind you Roberto played last night,started off well but didn't shine much later on.Fitness levels perhaps & maybe that be the reason for not including him. But he is STILL,despite that worth a go at full back i.m.o (his preferred position), & a good option in order to get the best out of Peters,with Rob or Charlie dropping to the bench(on current form).To be fair to Rob though when he came on last night he seemed to show a bit of that old grit in his play thats been missing of late.

We still have a play off spot to play for(albeit with a little help from our friends)so we need to give it our best shot & really go all out for straight wins. It may or may not work but its worth a go I feel.

I hope that more than answers your question.

Yep makes sense, cheers!
