Actually, I was thinking about Patty Ryder. Ryder was all alone inside 50, somehow inexplicably drops a chest-mark. Strauss picks up the ball and tries to take him on. Gets caught holding the ball and costs us a goal. That's certainly not the only time he did something poor. In a win, most players are going to do something you like, but for me, James Strauss is not a defender and should be put in another position.

Was by far the worse decision of the night, threw the prior opportunity rule out the door.

He beat Zaharakis comprehensively tonight, who by many accounts is a very very good attacking forward. If you call that not defending than football's changed more than I thought

He has played 3 games.

You don't rate him, fine.

But you have to admit that he has improved since last year.

And if you admit to that fact being true, then there is hope for him, and for you.

Note: That last line rhymed and I din't mean it, but I kind of like it.
