    Surely they could tell he was OK just by reading the back of his shirt?

    The long throw technique really doesn't look legal.

    Yeah it was a 'difficult' day :) Seem to remember after we went quite a few goals down, Milne brought on a forward for a defender to try and get back in the game. That was just the philosophy he had, and it produced some incredible entertainment but also led to some horrific days out like that...

    Missing piece of the jigsaw

    Gillespie was truly a class player, and if anything he perhaps stood out more for us that he did with Liverpool. An elegant ball-playing centre back who could bring it out of defence with ease, but his basic defensive work (heading, tackling) was also superb. He'd certainly be in my all-time...

    Lose in the Cup Semi or lose the Playoff Final?

    Why is the question about losing in the semi-final rather than the FA Cup final itself? We're giving Hill far too many open goals here ;)

    Missing piece of the jigsaw

    Just out of interest, what was the missing piece - a random bunch of seats in the stand, or a crucial part of a player's anatomy? And where did you find it!

    Sakamoto Injury

    😲 Some of those examples by Kane are an absolute disgrace, clearly eyeing up the move long before the ball comes down. I don't think the Preston player was quite so premeditated, but that doesn't take away the terrible outcome for Saka. The rule should be along the lines that if you don't intend...

    Block 27

    As with Highfield Road, I've sat in virtually every area of the ground over the years. To state the obvious, near the front you can see the players up close, and from the back you can see the patterns of play / tactics better. Personally, as a rule of thumb I find anywhere in the few rows just...

    Sakamoto Injury

    Whilst Saddle's update is good to hear, an injury like this is not cause for rejoicing or complacency, and given the conflicting claims and speculation over the last couple of days I am still waiting for something more official. Good luck Tats, crazy as it sounds you've become one of my...

    How on earth can you know which bits he has fractured?

    Preston Ratings

    Yet all last season's clean sheets were down to the defence in front of him, despite him constantly giving them the jitters? tbh I think we need a better first choice keeper because I see both Wilson and Collins more as decent backups. I just don't see too much difference between them, and...

    Reality check

    We are building the squad to try and get promotion. It's an ongoing process that will continue to improve our chances each year. What's illogical about that?

    As I said, that's a separate question from whether he was to blame for the 3 goals. He wasn't.

    Reality check

    It's a rebuilding year with further improvements still planned for the squad. We are also trying to make the playoffs if possible. These things aren't mutually exclusive. The difficulty of bringing in targets in January, together with recent injuries, has made the playoffs very hard to achieve...
