Rebuilding the Team

[Eric the Half a Bee]

There was an incident towards the end of the first half on Saturday when the ball fell to Ciaran Brown on the left-hand side of the penalty area following a Swansea corner. He carried the ball five or six yards and then simply whacked it forty or fifty yards into the opposition half. He made no attempt whatsoever to play the ball to a teammate. I don't think that was down to fatigue.

I remember it well. I recall shouting something like "surely you're a better footballer than that" or obcenities to that effect at the TV when he did it.
