Bill 1,788 Posted March 17, 2018 I know there is still a fair few games left but I suggest there''ll be a bigger field to select from than past seasons.Some early runners such as Vrancic and Husband have dropped back. Whilst two who led the field, Martin and Naismith were fallers at Beeches Jock.If there is to be a front runner it has to be Oliveira who has had any of other trainers and stables but has lost none of his petulant behaviour since moning the Carrow Road.Don''t write off Webber or the ''tic tac'' man FarkeJarvis has been scratched and could be put down if he is thought not to be a runner again. Whilst Balls is no longer in the race as he has moved over to competitive dressage.And the housewife''s choice (no, not Jimmy Young) Delia is strongly fancied (by the shortsighted) but probably hasn''t been ridden much so any chance of coming up on the inside appear to be slim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tired 102 Posted March 18, 2018 Josh Murphy looks like a good bet. 5 goals and 1 assist in 33 Championship appearances, and he doesn''t have the excuse of adapting to a new league like most of our new additions. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,606 Posted March 18, 2018 Scapegoat is the most misused word on this forum.Vrancic, Naismith, Martin and Husband weren''t scapegoats, they simply were not playing very well. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

king canary 7,606 Posted March 18, 2018 That may be.But it''s still one of my biggest bugbears on here. So often any criticism of a player is met with ''oh I see (insert player x here) is the scapegoat this week. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

He''s struggled at home big time but been decent away. Oliveira has been pretty poor both home and away (and I don''t buy wingers not giving him service, notice yesterday how Srbeny always made an effort to be in the penalty area so Murphy and Hernandez played balls into the penalty area).
