I'm so faaaarking pissed off WTF is going on???
Broad is crucial to our structure and they drop him for the biggest game of the year.
Bunch of dickheads seriously.
I would have dropped Aarts, played Caddy up forward and playing Dow in this game is a mistake.
Sometimes I think they are drinking their own bath water down there.

agree. Why are debuting someone new against wc? Ffs we just had gc and bombers to do that. We really do feel overconfident

FWIW

I've been told hes adding another element to his game. He's an excellent runner and a quick learner. He always does exactly what Hardwick wants him to do and never strays from the gamestyle the club want him playing. They want him supporting the midfielders next year.

He could be shifted into a new role, so don't be surprised, big things for Broady.

That sounds great but why re program him now? We need a defender considering we are already one down. The timing of it all couldn't have been worse.

Fair enough. Sounds reasonable. Struggle to make sense of it otherwise.

Same happened with Caddy and his move onto the wing. I'm not sure why hardwick does it, but my theory is, they learn quicker when they're in a panic to get back in the team!
