I said in the Veltman thread that I though the defence was superb as a whole. Vetlman was his usual excellent and consistent self, Webster was that elegant defender we know he can be, Dunk was....well Dunk and Igor did a good job and also got forward and played some excellent through balls.
That Mellor 3 Ward 4 Walsall 0 game was the season before I started going. My father took me to the u21 game, I loved it, so he took me to the Brighton Bolton game on 08.10.1977...the rest is history as they say.
He gets forward though, just not in the way or frequency most people want or expect i.e. sprinting down the wing and overlapping. I’m fine with this and see it as quite intelligent play as he’s not obvious for an opponent to pick up.
