Gabbidon and Collins Get a Roasting

Kevin Ratcliffe, writing for the BBC, has given West Ham defenders Gabbidon and Collins a real roasting for their performance for Wales against New Zealand yesterday. He seems to largely blame the two centre backs for Wales only achieving a 2-2 draw and picks on Gabbidon in particular, saying he drags Collins' performance down.

Gabbidon has been out for a long time with a groin injury and Ratcliffe is obviously worried that he won't be match fit for Wales' Euro 2008 qualifier against the Czech Republic next Saturday. Still you would think he would give him at least one game before laying into him so harshly.
