Plenty has already been written and said about Risser’s strengths, and weaknesses, but his influence and input into the side is clearly [...]

Paolo acting on the poor performance deserved plaudits.

For me last night’s man of the match was Paolo for his substitutions

We were completely one dimensional for an hour with every ball from Wes or the defence going out onto the right wing where they had 3 or 4 men to deal with Benson and Ritchie. Caddis spent more time trying to cover Boateng, who looked completely lost and didn’t win a single challenge that I can remember. Smith had his worst game for us and couldn’t complete a pass, leaving Rooney out of the game and for some reason Cibo didn’t seem to want to pass to him so there was nothing at all from the left wing. The change really did come once Ferry came on suddenly that triangle out on the right was there again and he was passing out both ways to bring Rooney into it. Then as Rosie said Risser coming on allowed caddis to attack more and we played a good 5 10

I’m interesting to know how Shrews stifled our wingers – and full-backs? Sadly I had to miss it so I’ve no idea. it might be the model that other teams start to use.

]]> Comment on Hall of Shame Vote: Which is the worst STFC kit? by Dan Castle http://thewashbag.com/2012/02/21/hall-of-shame-vote-which-is-the-worst-stfc-kit/#comment-2576 Wed, 22 Feb 2012 17:06:41 +0000 http://thewashbag.com/?p=10444#comment-2576 The white and green potato print shirt is class as is the Black and Gold one, have you noticed that Nike have tried to make a return to 90′s looking kits in the last few seasons. The first lotto shirt from 99-00 was even O.K.

Why is the awfull DGI kit of 2002-03 not on this list? This shirt was cheap and nasty and weighed a ton. Was it not the case that after one game (Cheltenham away) that the players complained about the extra weight the shirt carried when wet. I think they designed a better players version after that while still flogging the knitted nylon one in the club shop.

However from the list above the Lotto Kingswood shirt must be the worst, cheap template as worn by Uktraine and Serbia at the 2006 World Cup. Cheap looking sponsor, Kingswood and cheap quality, transfer washed off (a blessing maybe). Its a shame this shirt was so awful because the next Lotto shirt was great. Please put it in the Hall Of Shame!

I also had the black/gold one and gladly wore it down my local particularly when my mates wore their awful ‘Black Arab’ Gas away top. The black/gold looked better (I live in N Bristol/Gas-land). I have not had a hand job in a town top (yet)!

I still have this shirt hanging in the wardrobe; I can’t believe I used to wear it in public!
