Gareth - you must be on another planet preferring Cooke to Payton. Payton's
record speaks for itself. And to have a go for him missing one penalty, I
think we all remember Cooke's efforts from the spot.

The point that you all seem to be missing is that goals are going in at the
other end and Davis (who you seem to think will be missed when suspended) is
no more than a shadow of his former self these days and definitely a weak
link in the defence.
If only for a performance from him like the one we saw from Steve Davis Mark
1 in the last home game or from Matthew Redmile last match at Notts County.
When you are being beaten for pace by Brett Angell you have a problem.
