Just seen that Hector was voted RFC Player of the Month for August. Having seen his performance at Forest I can only assume he played like Bobby Moore in the rest of the games that month

He is an academy product and a good one at that, support him and get behind him, especially when were winning! Also, those saying he kept on misjudging headers have clearly never played a game of football in your life.

If a striker is looking to flick on a header that has nobody behind him and will result in going back to the keeper or straight to hectors feet, why would he jump for the head? It may look macho but it doesn't do the job required.

You're suggesting Hector was deliberately letting Fuller have the ball?

Can you read? I was saying that Hector was clearly letting Fuller flick the ball on to nobody and sweeping up the pieces, allowing us to start passing from the back. how are you meant to implement a passing game if your playing head tennis?

I think he might have been discussing the tactic of dropping off when the ball is in the air so that when the striker wins the header he won't be caught out of position. Indeed if Morro and Pearce had done that in the 94th minute at Wigan we'd currently be sitting pretty on 15 points.

Not sure you can blame a CB for both not convincingly winning a header and not picking up the pieces when another player latches onto the loose ball unmarked by anyone else, which happened a few times.
Fuller did an excellent job along with his team mates of isolating individual defenders for us so two millwall players could gang up on them and get through.

I'd like to have seen us cope better with that. But that's far from any one player's fault. And millwall were playing a high game with numbers forward..
