Firstly I dont think Dunn or Bate are fantastic footballers,

Very hard to have both in the same side for mine,

But I cannot believe the vitriol dished out to Dunn this week, yes he was acting a bit of a prat

but it was only when he was doing this, did I think we looked dangerous or The Doggs worried,

I think just what the coach asked for.

and Bate after a couple of weeks as sub didnt do much more than one quarter as a sub

But not many calling for his head, they might both stay in, but hell I can't tell shite from snow,

Go Dees Give 'em HELL !!!

Clark out as key duo return

I'm actually flabbergasted at our changes.

How all three of Dunn, MacDonald, and McDonald, remain in the team, is beyond me.

I don't know how much worse Dunn has to be to be dropped. He was insipid last week. So we're in for another match where he'll stand behind his opponent and give away repeated free kicks because he isn't in front, and the proceed to yell and point at everyone else to get into position when he is pretty much useless.

Joel MacDonald was crap last week and is a liability with the ball in hand. How he kept his spot over Tapscott, especially when Grimes can play his role, is beyond me.

effectively no change

Clark injured

Tappy was Substitute anyway, not in starting 21
