Curtis needs to be dropped to get his hunger back.He is off form but gets automatic selection every game.

I do rate him as a player but lately the effort isn't there, Justin must see that :!:

He always looses concentration or is in another world. And some of his crossing is poor. When I used to play in the weetabix league in this area and gave the ball away (rare occaison) I'd SPRINT back and make amends for my mistake ;).

Have you still got your boots..?

He was a liability at CB earlier in the season and gave away some stupid goals then, which is why he was moved back to right back.

We also played 4-4-2 in some of those games. ;)

Ho ho - perhaps he should play LO for a few games (ie Left Off)... :?

[quote][/quote] yes I still have my boots however I've only just turned 17 so am abit inexperienced ;)

he does make too many errors. he always plays the man, not the ball. giving silly fouls away.

I think he's missing the King Curt Flag...where did that go? Not seen it in a while.

There were at least 2 occasions in the first half yesterday when we lost possession of the ball in midfield and their wide left player ran into the space behind Curtis who didn't even break out of a jog to try to get back and cover. Any kind of decent pass out left would have probably resulted in a goal, but we were lucky.
Osano's errors due to "switching off" are one thing, but I think this total lack of effort is unforgivable.

I look back to K*ttering away in the league towards the start of the season, and I remember Osano absolutely owning the pitch. We were all worried that he was off to Posh as Barry Fry was at the game. I know he played centre back on that day, but, I look at the Osano that played yesterday, and it was almost unbelievable how bad his form is. He just did not look interested, most of his crosses were awful and his tracking-back was non-existent. He really needs a wake up call, and the only way of doing this is buy dropping him.
