Elphick was worse than most though. I think he went through a spell of gifting the oppo a one on one through an errant back pass, for four matches in a row

Luckily we're  in the championship

Couldn't really argue with Kodija being MOTM today, but Baker ran him close in my opinion.  I really hope we can keep him fit, but because we are just so much better at the back with him playing.

I still have some of the dead cats that were hurled at me when I supported his contract extension.

One person replied to your post back then and that was only saying he wasn't young.

I'd have given it Baker, but as you say, can't argue with Kod winning it either.

I remember him being well respected at Bristol and that experience seems to be invaluable this season.
Well done Nathan for getting your head down and working hard.

Good to see him back today. He brought a balance and confidence back to the defence.

I do have other contacts PWS than those who respond on this forum.  I apologise if I gave the impression that the dead cats came from this quarter.  However, the fact that the name "50p head" continues to attach itself hints at the criticism both he and Clark have been subjected to.

Man of the match for me. Very strong in the air, brave in the tackle, both of which we would expect, but also accurate with his passing,  which hasn't always been the case. Overall a very impressive performance. Chester too had a very good game.

The 50p comment was perfectly valid a year ago as was headless chicken for his reckless lunges and the ease with which he was pulled out of position.

I have been very impressed with his improvement and I think the influence of Chester must have a lot to do with it for the way he organises the back line. It will be interesting to see how he fares if and when we get promoted when he will be pack playing against far smarter players.
