As an avid reader and occasional poster on Shrimperzone I feel must apologise.
In common with many other fans comments, my comments such as "I can't believe we've managed to sign Peter Clarke, this is a real coup" and "Prior is f***ing useless and must be dropped for Clarke immediately" and "Clarke is our best defender, just you wait and see once he makes his debut" may have led you to believe that the siging of Peter Clarke was some sort of tactical masterstroke. As he has now had one bad game (which I could watch because it was on telly) and according to a mate of mine had a couple of iffy moments the other week and a Sodje led defence only let in two against mighty Brighton, I now realise that he isn't the answer and that we wasted £300,000 on a centre-half who can't head or kick a ball. I now realise that Tilly isn't a managerial genius for whom everything turns to gold.
I may have also misled when claiming that "signing Matt Harrold was a complete waste of time as he is rubbish and most probably the new Graeme Jones/Billy Paynter/Michael Ricketts/Stan Collymore" and "Tilly hasn't made any mistakes in the transfer yet, but signing Harrold is definitely one". Following Harrold winning a couple of flick-ons and even scoring a goal, I now realise that he is the second coming of Brett Angell/Ian Benjamin/Stan Collymore/Michael Ricketts/Keith Jones and the targetman we have been requiring for years. I now realise that Tilly is a managerial genius for whom everything turns to gold.
Further, I apologise yet again for suggesting that Billy Paynter was a good signing. Following his failure to score because his goal today was ruled offside because Freddy was in an offside position and he headed a difficult chance against the bar he has now gone 92 minutes since his last goal and I won't accept feeble excuses like he couldn't score because he had been subbed. its clear that we won't win anything until Paynter has been dropped and Ricketts is allowed to play rather than being wasted on the bench.
I apologise for any confusion caused and promise that I'll be doing my best to get behind the boys in our next game, well maybe our next home game as Derby is quite a long way to go, at least until we fail to go one up inside the first 5 minutes and I decide on who to pick as the next boo-boy.
Yours apologetically, One Drewe Broughton.
