Get a grip lads. That was daylight robbery by Sunderland. We’re 1-0 down going into the next 90 minutes against a team we know we can beat. And Sunderland will be very nervous if we get the first goal. Onto Tuesday and a very iconic performance. We’ve been here before and got it done.
agreed fatso but not sure how we should play it in the premier. 10-12 new players could be disastrous if that killed team spirit and then we're left with 10-12 overpaid prima donnas back on relegation to the champ. there's no easy way given the huge gap between the 2 leagues. forest somehow made...
agree with the comments on wright fatso.
in terms of stepping up - I could see Dovin, Kitching, Thomas, Grimes, Sheaf, Saka as very decent squad players to add to 4-5 key top class additions.
Good point malc. I could never listen to Clive’s radio commentary without having a complete mental breakdown - as Clive was always predicting danger - with the oppo most likely playing the ball around their penalty area. With video I’ve cut down on the Valium.
Grimes is being overlooked. One of our very best January signings. Does the simple things very very well - and is technically and positionally excellent. He allows others to play. Pure class. We’ve recruited excellently - not every signing is going to immediately work out - our success rate...
Been present for many amazing goals since 1980. Hamer at Wembley was the most emotional for me. One of the best moments of my life for all kinds of reasons.
Assuming we make play offs this time and comparing with the play off final team, I'd go for:
Dovin
MVE
Thomas
Doyle
Bidwell
Hamer
Grimes
Rudoni
Saka
Vik
Wright
So just 4 players from the play off final albeit 2 of our all time superstars. Really wanted Fadz in there as cap but doesn't work...
Nearly. 3 Da Silva brothers who all moved to the Chelsea academy from Luton when they were teenagers - the 2 other brothers are twins. Jay is the only one who made it in league football.
it was pure relief as BTA's own error had not cost us the win.
I really like the bloke as he cares very deeply about the team and doing well for us.
there's something there - maybe not on the left but he has very decent attributes.
