Yeah Beefy, I couldn't understand why he wasn't the target for Smith's kicks.
I think we all know that Bilel Mohsni has certain attributes which can at times make him an asset to the team in certain positions. Central midfield is so obviously not one of those positions. In midfield he looks like he's just a bloke running around a field. He definitely does not look like a professional footballer and it genuinely puzzles me that a professional manager cannot see this within five minutes.
What really surprised me about Mohsni's selection is that having put him in the team we didn't utilise him in a way that made the most of the things that he does bring to the side. The few times we troubled Crewe in the play-offs last year were typically when we were launching throws and goal kicks up to Mohsni who would peel off against one of the full-backs. Every time we got a set-piece on Sunday someone should have been dropping into central midfield allowing Mohsni to get into a position to be used. Instead he'd just stand looking completely lost in the middle of the field.
What worries me more is Brown did nothing to change the midfield, even after the 2nd goal went in, anyone & everyone could see Mohsni looked like a headless chicken, just running round & getting in everyones way, Mkandawire must have been glad to see him go off!
Sturrock said his side would have had 4 changes to the PB line up, im guessing Reeves, Leonard, Corr & Phillips would have all started in place of Barker, Mohsni, Tomlin & Straker.........
Giving us a line up of:
smith
clohessy phillips cresswell prosser
Hurst mkanda Leonard reeves
britt corr
I would have said he would have gone with:
Bentley
Clohessy Phillips Cresswell Barker
Hurst Lund Tam Leonard
Tomlin Britt
Corr and Reeves on later in game.
Might ask CP to DM what Sturrock would have chosen on Twitter :smile:

I don't know what time the team coach was leaving today but I saw Mohsni walking along the seafront with a friend about 20 minutes ago. Guessing he's not playing tonight!
Our new manager Phil Brown has just admitted on the Blues I Player, when being interviewed about the Rochdale game to come, that at Wembley Bilel Mohsni's playing position might have been wrong. "In hindsight maybe it was the wrong decision."
Give him a chance, he is man enough to admit mistakes, unlike many other managers or people who use Shrimper Zone!
He hardly knows his players yet. :sad:
