Sorry no team or goalscorer.

bit harsh!

we have 9 defenders..

Steinner
Robbo
JLloyd
Gazza
Zat
Ricketts
Alonso
Joeyo
Wheater

the ones in red are out - which is 5 out of 9

in its strictest sense, "decimated" is losing 1 in 10 - so we have surpassed that

and having surpassed that - we are "at least" that - we are decimated and more - so he is quite right!

(apart from that - "decimated" simply means severely reduced nowadaysm whether you like it or not!)

well exactly our defence isn't decimated - it's much worse than that!

And is that the 'Wikipedia has two a's in it' bish chastising my use of language? :wink:

He'll never be fully fit again, so a moot point. For a time, he was one of the best in the country, let alone our squad.
