Ben Purkiss

He's been pants this season, he really has. And I don't want to knock the guy too much as it's still early doors and he's a young lad, but our new left-back looks miles away from being League One level too. Obviously it makes things even more difficult coming into a struggling side that's seemingly relegation bound.

As a matter of principle, I usually shy away from criticising individual players, but I have to say that of late, Purkiss is being found out too often. His positional play over most of this season has been sadly lacking and although players will always make individual mistakes from time to time, again, Ben Purkiss has been one of the main culprits, making far too many sloppy mistakes. Not sure what the answer is, as we don't have any ready identifiable replacement.

Is Purks the new scapegoat?

 

Not at all. I'm just saying it as I see it. I can forgive a poor performance as much as the next man, but he's been awful pretty much every time he's played this season. Add to that the fact that his errors are directly costing us games (such as the Scunny match, and for their second yesterday) and are such that you wouldn't expect a 10 year old to make them, I don't think he's immune to such criticism.
