I'm not sure I should get credit for sticking at it; maybe I'm too blind and stubborn to see the obvious. <br /><br />There does seem to be divided opinion on Francis. I thought he handled Saturday well, being under pressure coming back (perhaps credit to Powell for giving him an away game first). For me a right-back's primary job is defending, although it has to go beyond that and while his crossing was disappointing he didn't stop trying to go forward. With him and Solly set to contest the spot next season it isn't our area of greatest concern. <br /><br />I did think the booing was for Jenkinson (given his imminent departure), when the subs were named and when they were having a run out. But if there was some for Francis as well it's plain daft.Burgundy Addickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12203516889598003723noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-2535472527326125942011-04-26T18:55:46.147+01:002011-04-26T18:55:46.147+01:00Well BA, not sure re Francis, got in some good pos...Well BA, not sure re Francis, got in some good positions but couldn't seem to put a decent cross in. <br /><br />Only complaint re afternoon was when the team was called out and Francis was booed, what does it achieve to boo your own players before the game, he's a young lad low on confidence, it's hardly going to give him a lift.<br />Some might say it should spur him on, but seemed needless.Jacknoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5476043688166279353.post-61344322719585804412011-04-26T12:37:28.499+01:002011-04-26T12:37:28.499+01:00I agree with Hungry Ted re Francis.

How you muster the motivation to write such a thorough and typically quality report with nothing to play for I do not know.<br /><br />That said, I don't agree ref. Francis. I tried desperately to give the guy a chance but I just don't see what he offers at all. At the start he had a reputation of delivering decent balls into the box, but even that is not happening. A very poor player, and I saw nothing to change my mind today. Just about all he has going for him is his height and strength. Not enough.Hungry Tedhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15591962303259932382noreply@blogger.com
