Tony Craig has cost us at least 3 goals since coming into the team, he had 2 get out of jail free cards with us equalising or scoring the winner in 2 of those games and he cost a point against Wimbledon. IMO he has looked half the player of Broadbent in most of the games. As a side note, Berhil, Bluebutterfly and lastminutewinner: please keep it civil, you can make your points without calling each other names and being aggressive. It’s not the school playground. I think 3 goals is nonsense,,for example the shrewsbury goal was a lovely flat cross into the perfect area which is the type that makes defenders of any quality struggle. Just picking the nearest player to a goalscorer and blaming him for a goal is naive imo. He got turned by a basic bit of footwork and ended up on his arse before that and he wasn’t quick enough in getting up off his arse and run back into the area to help out with that perfectly flat cross into the box. Wimbledon his concrete boots led to him not even bothering to jump.

The last defender that did that was Andy Tillson, and he didnt do too badly.... He didn't play for DC though, did he? I don't think this is true. DC was the first to comment on how well Broadbent brings the ball out, and he was very quick off the mark to get him signed up to a proper contract. I actually think DC would love Broadbent in the team week in week out as he gives us more options and allows us to build play. I wouldn't be surprised if Broadbent does actually have a slight knock. Also his game is not suited to the Mem at the moment. I'd be amazed if he's not in the forefront of his thinking for next season though. He's the kind of guy you can build a team around, imo.

TC for the Wimbledon goal had a bloke with a 6 inch <ahem> advantage over him so he tried pinning him and failed. Yesterday he barely put a foot wrong and it's also worth noting that it was one of Locks' best games this season alongside TC.
Also he's played a lot of football and can help out young defence through. The senior member of the backline is Brown and he's only 27. Broadbent, Clarke, Sweeney have probably only 60 league appearances between them He will help the development of these guys.
I think DC is proving a point to TB as he seems to have got a bit too big for his boots and carried away with the positive press, new contract etc. He was starting to come across as a bit cocky in interviews in my opinion. It happens, he's probably gone from £500 a week to £2,500 a week I imagine and it's well deserved. There's a whisper somewhere that TB confronted DC after the Wimbledon game which would make sense as to why he was left out again yesterday. This all isn't a dig at TB, just an observation. Overall TB has had an exceptional first season, playing more times than we all would have imagined, and I hope his improvement continues with us.

I hope that you're right on all counts, and that he starts to become the first name on the team sheet. I also enjoy his finds out of the defence with the ball, and opposing teams have it.

DC prefers Lockyear, boot it anywhere, than play a ball playing centre back.

You'd think after three and a bit years we'd have learnt to trust DC with team selection and not guess what's going on behind the scenes with players.....

That's quite a statement to make that could be pretty damaging to squad harmony. Especially when I assume you've got no idea how much money he's on.

Tom's dad has just quoted on the FB appreciation page that all of this is utter crap! He is keen to know that all fans realise this and stop making up false rumours. D.C. and TB get on very well, no arguments have been had, and he is not been cocky. If you cannot believe his dad who can you believe!!!

Where has all this come from? It is a shame that people are jumping to conclusions without knowing the facts. Anyone who knows Tom knows there is no way he has got cocky he likes a laugh as shown in his interviews. Also there was and never has been an exchange of words with Dc they get on very very well. With regards to what he is paid has nothing to do with anyone apart from him.

I would be careful about posting presumptuous rumours of such a nature, there is nothing to suggest a falling out has taken place and speculating about his wage helps no one . Does seem odd how he's been left out of the squad so suddenly but one can only presume injury has something to do with it? Perhaps his dad could inform us seeing how he's trying to start a mob on Facebook in response to this post?

"This all isn't a dig at TB, just an observation. Overall TB has had an exceptional first season, playing more times than we all would have imagined, and I hope his improvement continues with us."
This is a forum for opinions. It's a thread about why TB has been left out the last two weeks. I was giving my opinion. I get why TB was rested for one game, but two games seems odd, especially left out of the whole squad, which made me think there were non football reasons behind it because his performances haven't merited being left out. I haven't personally attacked other forum members or players like some on here, and I put the above on stating he has had an exceptional first season.
Eddie - no malice intended, apologies if you took offence, I would never slag anyone off wearing the quarters. Maybe shouldn't have speculated finances but was building a picture in my head.

Try to keep the discussion to the actual football, please. This sort of comment is below the belt. But true ! Rather than some of the made up rubbish posted on here ! But nothing to do with football. Also, be careful if you're gonna pull people up for not being truthful.

Overall TB has had an exceptional first season, playing more times than we all would have imagined, and I hope his improvement continues with us. I think the best CB partnership was when Locks (getting back to form) played alongside Tom Broadbent for 3 or 4 games. Then Locks got that unfortunate injury at the end of the bradford game. Don't think Broadbent did anything wrong at the time he mysteriously lost his place. For me, he is easily the best passer of the ball from all our defenders. He was also beginning to look very dominant in the air too. I hope DC sees the light soon

I repeat what I posted 21 hours ago!
'I thought TB went through some fitness work on the pitch before the teams came out for warm-up today. In the past other players like James Clarke have done this. DC would never tell us if he was injured!'
