It's not quite that "cause and effect", is it? And even if it was it wouldn't have justified moving a club to a different town miles away from it's fanbase would it. I can't believe you are saying that it was a good and justifiable move, a new low.

Burge-7: Commanded his area well again, couldn't do anything about the goal and handled a couple of regulation shots. Grimmer-8: Poor in general and probably a 5, but exposed by our formation with no real right midfielder in front of him, but then scored THAT goal, with his left foot as well...

Best moment since Killer lifted the FA Cup. Tears galore! Started again when Doyler marched off, punching the badge on his chest with one hand and holding the trophy aloft with the other.

Hee hee you had to, didn't you?! Think we'll be OK though. :cigar:

Tom "George Best" Bayliss, there....

Gorgeous finish, Grimmer! Don Goodman sounds like he's swallowed a wasp.

Big deflection but Shipley has been getting into goalscoring positions all game, deserved that. HE'S ONE OF OUR OWWWWWWN!

YESSSSSSSSS!

Great work Bayliss, COME ON LADS! Think Robins has had a good team talk.

Exeter are very well organised defensively and are aware of the imbalance in our midfield, IE no width and no right midfielder. It's putting too much onus on Grimmer's distribution and that has been poor. Shipley has looked lively and tried to make things happen. Biamou very quiet. Bayliss...

Presume that it is Don "Twat" Goodman on co-commentary again? He's just gone on a rant about there being nothing there for Biamou to have possibly picked up an injury and said "we saw against Notts County that he does like to go down easily". Sky are incredibly biased against us!

Yeah Atherton was a gem of a signing but had been doing really well for Wigan for some time, so not a shock that he made the step up so assuredly. My dad didn't rate Sansom that highly in his spell for us but I thought he was very decent-didn't have the legs anymore obviously but still a good...

They were abject weren't they?!? Even Ray Woods looked alright. Love the bit of skill by Borrows to set one up, though. He should have played for England too!

Coincidentally, on a gem of a youtube recommendation I watched this earlier in which all excel: Love that cross by Smith for Rosario's header, too, lovely curve and shape.

Liverpool had a keeper?

What a disaster Butcher was....all three you mentioned definitely had another season in them at least, as Cyrille took great delight in proving for Villa!

While I'm here, special mention for Micky Gynn-11 goals from midfield in the 90-91 season at that level. He was immense.

Yeah we were 3rd for AGES. I was only 11-12 and after the FA Cup win and that season, that was it, I thought we were a big club and there to stay! We played some fantastic football that season and as you say, Smith was a key part of that along with half a team of absolute City legends. Sillett...

Totally agree, adored David Smith, and he was massively under-rated, so much that I even started a thread about him the other year! Just look at Speedie's goals and count how many he played a part in: David Smith-What Went Wrong?

That's really interesting! I don't know much about the 30's era it's fair to say. There's not that much online compared to the Hill Years and afterwards...
