Nah, I’ll leave it there, I think. 🤣

He started it, not me.

Pluck My Arse?

96/97, the season of the Great Escape. I remember only bits of the match, but Darren Huckerby was on loan at that point and was such a breath of fresh air - aggressively charging at defenders, jinking past them, and when he would turn the afterburners on it was amazing.

Interesting fun fact: Ysrael Zuniga, who played for us briefly from 1999 until 2001, is a dentist in his native Peru these days. His overall career stats are impressive, incidentally (dentally 🤣), over 250 goals scored in 500-odd appearances at club level.

Sounds accurate though, judging by the performances.

Yes, 1-0. Haji scored a header off a rebound (either a save or someone hit the crossbar). The difference being, we had leadership then, albeit veterans like Fadz, Kelly and Godden who weren’t getting much playing time. Nevertheless, a scrappy 1-0 via a shot that takes 3 deflections and...

Optimism is overrated.

It’s clear now, after over a year or so, that they’re not. It took COH hitting a rich vein of form to kickstart our whole season. Hindsight is a great thing, but we haven’t replaced COH either.

Yes, he did. Not quite sure why I put that. Chalk it up to a lack of caffeine, this morning - the Gold Blend has run out.

I know we’ve all said it ad nauseum, but the failure to adequately replace Hamer is the biggest mistake the club has made. A pivotal, inspirational driving force in midfield HAS to be replaced, with someone close to that departed players level. I know they have tried, but come on…we’ve...

Worryingly, if MR goes, we will probably end up with either Boateng or Delaney as interim manager (at least).

Yes, I have the shits, thanks for checking in.

We need a reaction from the players, first and foremost. To me, it looks like a ‘downed tools’ situation, however this is mere speculation. It behooves them to turn up and show us what they can do, no more half-arsed, inattentive performances. Will we get it with no experienced player willing...

This is a very valid point, and could very well be the core of the issue. Something has clearly gone awry behind the scenes, and either/both theories could hold water.

I’d take a punt at the Performance Director having, ironically, an adverse effect on performances. One of many ‘cooks spoiling the broth’ though, perhaps. Who knows.

Think I’d have preferred to have my eyes lanced with a hypodermic needle than watch any more of this. This is not what I should be expected to pay money for, as a fan. It’s frighteningly bad. The warning signs are all there: no leadership, no team spirit, no cohesion, zero tactical efficiency...

Seems to be going rather well, considering we’ve been sliced up like a pepper for 45 minutes…

Be still, my wildly thudding heart… He’s a shit show at DMF, I’d rather he give Andrews a go, personally. The lad is obviously capable. My preference would be to put MVE at RFW/RW and have Lati at RB. If we set out to press and counter, I feel we could pinch this today.

9-7 to us, a treble hat trick for Godden.
