The squad that Terry assembled

Exactly the point Kalman. No matter how poor he will resist all logic. It's like after the Wigan drubbing last season. He drops Long (at last) for the next game. We get beat 1-0 and the consensus is that Ingram did well. Long is back in the next game. When he does drop players it seems either entirely arbitrary or to restore his favorites who he only drops weeks too late when out of form.

 

A bit like Peter Taylor with Junior Lewis

 

Junior Lewis, centre midfielder in two promotion teams. That Junior Lewis?

 

That's him. Couldn't seem to control a ball or find a teammate, no pace - but always seemed to get a start and never subbed even when it was obvious he was dead on his feet.

 

Did he shag your Mrs?

 

Touche!

He always seemed to be out of his depth and the weak link but was always first on the team sheet - no matter how poor his form on the pitch.
It must have been what he brought to the dressing room because PT was no mug.

 

I think you have it spot on Pricey, in his defence, JL read the game pretty well and was a good organiser, not a bad tackler either tbf: but as you say PT trusted him implicitly and was his voice on the pitch.
