"Chris Brown failed a fitness test"

[Red Rover]

If he could play against Burneyl, SURELY one of McKay's men could have walked off their injuries?!

Look i know chris played and played well but whats the point in a fitness test if you are not going to take the advice from it if you fail one surely you cant play?

[ditch_drfc]

I did think that myself. Surely there's no point if you just go against advice

To be fair to Browny, I suspect he WANTED to play, to repay the faith the fans have shown in him. 

I was delighted when he got his goal.  He'd worked incredibly hard and was clearly far from fit.  Did anyone else notice him rubbing his knee in the second half, then turning it into a little sock pulling up act so the dugout didnt notice?  A Donny-born lad putting it in for his club.  That makes me very proud.

yeah i noticed that and agree he is far from fit but if he can stay fit he can become a big goal scorer for us next season imo

If we had eleven lads like him we wouldn't be in this mess.

I think we HAVE got eleven lads like him- and a few more. But team spirit has been ruined by all the short-term signings and it is the old story of lions led by donkeys.

That's interesting and in hindsight you're probably right.  I hope we'll see them next season.
