No. Just a response to you calling me an idiot. Checking your previous 10 posts, you had done similar to 3 other posters. So no offence caused. Not that there would have been anyway of course.
By the way, in your opinion can you explain why Alfei is perhaps being picked? Without simply saying its Wilders decision. Because I am struggling to understand how anybody could justify his selection for 'footballing reasons'!
I'll try. I agree with you that Alfie is poor, and that's probably made worse because in my mind Tozer is not just a little better but a much better player. Conversely, with your other pet hate Archer, I dont think he is anywhere near as bad as you do or at fault so often, and I dont agree that Duke is miles better, in fact if I had been picking the squad close season, a replacement for Duke would have been a priority. Its about opinions,

I would have given Snedker a chance whilst Duke was unfit...if deemed not good enough then I agree with you on the assessment of Duke.I keep making the point that we should be developing our own players ahead of other clubs players...and particularly other clubs players who are at best no better than what we already have.
I've seen no one worse than Alfei play for us over a number of matches. And I challenge anybody to go back to the mid-late 80's to tell me one? That display the other night was individually as bad as I've seen - how J Lake could give him 4-10 was difficult to comprehend! The best he's played was in his first match against Mansfield when he produced a 6-10...since then they've all been 5s and less.

I thought Alfei looked good when he came on against Sileby Rangers.Also thought the same about O'Toole after his hat trick. How wrong i was.

Although there would have been an underlying current, Charlie Bishops performance at Blackpool was enough to get him sacked by Atkins. I was at that game and was surprised when i heard he'd gone cause it didn't seem that bad to me. Ashley Westwood drove me to distraction at times. He always gave 100%, and was unlucky a lot, but he did gift the opposition a lot. But I agree, Alfie really isnt very good and must have an if fit I play clause in his loan.

I very very much doubt we'd have agreed to that sort of condition, Wilder clearly just doesn't particularly rate Tozer. Alfei wasn't/isn't in any way a high-profile player, he'd played 15 games for Portsmouth with mixed reviews, we weren't making some major coup by getting him. I know it's easy to take a pop at the club at the moment but the idea that we've agreed to a 'must play' clause (do they even exist?) to sign a player who had 15 unremarkable League 2 appearances under his belt is just silly. Alfei is Wilders player, Tozer isn't.

The thing that annoys me with the Alfei situation is when he has a bad game (regularly) he gets picked for the next match. When Tozer has played and not done much wrong he has still been dropped for the next match and Alfei re selected. I didn't boo him Tuesday but when he was substituted I cheered as loud as possible. Please don't let him start at Luton.

I dont get him and never have. I dont berate cobblers players easily but couldnt help but give a sarcastic cheer when he was replaced. I could forgive him a little if he was an "attacking" full back but Tozer (a defensive full back/centre back) has been far more effective in the opposition half, as well as our own. Alfei just doesnt seem to have any real qualities or USP. No strength, no real speed, no defensive or offensive abilities, no technical skills. Below average all round. I havent disliked a player this much since Leon Constantine, (and no I havent forgotten Corker and Arthur), mainly because he hasnt been plucked from obscurity, he's come from a PREMIER LEAGUE team. I'd rather Wilder picked Micky Warner (not even past Micky, but the present 40 something Micky).

Hmmm. Yes probably right then, and a good (bad) gauge of Wilders stubbornness.

I can confirm that Alfei's selection is totally down to the manager and not to any sinister reasons. Except, of course, that the manager considers him our best right back.

I've always thought Duke and Tozer were weak links in our team. But currently, I want nothing more than to see them both starting for us!

If a three worked for the team, then I think that would be his best position.

I have a feeling Wilder will play Alfei again ...along with Archer..........and that would confirm to me his further re-generation into the mode of ADB.

I agree with your summary - has NP seen Archer play in the away games! This petty hate session directed against Archer is small minded when he has saved us from heavier defeats. Poor old Alfei - his card is marked now and only a hat trick against Luton will now save him! Having seen him play against Pompey earlier in the season I did not think he was up to it.
