Soz Phil, I don't agree with that. "I must have seen a different game" and such. Richards was everywhere, and is a huge reason why Fleetwood didn't enjoy complete mastery of the midfield.
It appears that Phils preference for our very home grown Taundrey somewhat sums up Phils ability to judge the merits of any player. Taundreys performance last night verged on the edge of uselessness, always second to the ball, thuggish and clumsy in his tackles, poor judgement, slow, ineffective, can't pass unless both his eyes are facing the same way, no ball control and completely uninspiring*. As regards Mr Marshall, he is not very good but is an improvement on a woodlouse.
I note that Richards was played out on the wing last night in favour of our midfield dynamoes Taundrey and Marshall, presumably to try to stop who ever was playing at full back having to mark or tackle anybody.
I now watch Richards with more interest thanks to Phils expert analysis on his play which I can now confirm doesn't involve watching the game.
*nb one of those comments is purely speculation
