Would he indeed....so it was a different Croft who missed an open goal at QPR then.

People need to get a grip.  Croft must be knackered, coming back from injury and playing 3 times in a week - DD similarly, at 37.  The changes that have been made are sensible when you think about them without letting prejudice against Hughes/Robinson cloud your judgement.

I think the keeper is the problem. We should never have let Green go!! Oh, hang on, maybe not, he appears to be having a few problems at Reading!!
