maybe Sinnott thought he'd try and play someone capable of challenging in the air as opposed to two shorter players?????



Why? The only person likely to do that is Marshall.  He should know by now that Perry can't jump. He can't challenge big centre halves, he can't actually stay on two feet. His centre of gravity is too high. Reeves can and does out jump him.

But this appears to be one of Sinnott's traits. The inability to see the fkn obvious.

If anyone can genuinely convince me what Perry can offer that Reeves can't then I'm all ears.
Answers such as 'he played well against Stalybridge and Histon last year' won't do.

Gillespie is about 5'9
Reeves is about 5'9
Perry is about 6'2

Both the Lincoln centrebacks were about 6'3

maybe Sinnott thought he'd try and play someone capable of challenging in the air as opposed to two shorter players?????


Also, i heard Reeves was working late plastering and didn't get to Moss Lane until 7pm and wasn't fully warmed up.

Perry had an afternoon modelling shoot but was at the ground for 6pm.

Fair point in principle about Perry's height.

However, I am 6 foot 3 but, like Perry I can't jump either.

He is no better an aerial threat than Reeves or Gillespie. 

He brings nothing that Gillespie and Reeves can't bring but they do it 10 times better.

Rod Thornley wasn't particularly tall but could outjump anyone.

Apart from Lewis Chalmers who really could out jump everyone........normally by jumping early and then levitating

Is that a kind of dubious cheerleader?  :D
