Sam was out of position and the goal was his fault - their Right Back made
the cross and should not have been allowed so much time or space.

going to be perfect but Sam did enough good things including the cross for
our first goal which suggests to me he should stay in the side. I would
argue that if Danny Pugh had been playing we wouldn't have won the game
because theres no way he would have been able to produce a killer cross like
that. 

You could equally argue that if Sam hadn't been playing we wouldn't have
been a goal down in the first place. Attacking flair is all very well but we
won't win by being reckless. We can't blame Grayson for not sorting the
defence out and then encourage a player like Sam not to track back, just
because he might provide that spark. We played that suicidal game with
Kewell and got destroyed down the left more times than I care to remember
whilst the chosen one stood with his hands on his hips watching it happen.
Sam must track back and pick up his man or he doesn't deserve to be in the
team.
