Sun Tzu runrunrunrungilksey OK so he gave Doobs an elbow
(part & parcel of being a centre half). I do think that Bothroyd was the best player on the pitch Boxing day though and would suit our team.
The elbow was not at all 'part and parcel' of anything ! Clear and obvious red card....
Bothroyd did however look a decent enough player, nowhere near as good as Kitson and not especially mobile or a goal threat. I'm not too sure what he would give us unless we totally changed the way we play and seeing as we haven;t wanted to change our style to fit Marek in I can;t see us doing it for a player of lesser ability such as Bothroyd.
Centre backs dish out as much as strikers do. I haven't read anywhere that Doobs is complaining of the elbow. I can imagine Wally telling the defenders " Lads don't touch the opposition make it as non physical as possible" - yeah right. Signing Chopra or Bothroyd will not happen anyway.
Oh and you can't compare Bothroyd with Marek, they are completely different style of player in different positions?
