Yeah, that makes no sense. So if a keeper makes a winning save in a penalty shoot in the out in the World Cup final , all the players and the fans should just go home in silence...”pah! He was only doing his job”! As an aside I actually like to get some congratulations when I’ve done a good...

I’ve watched it on the highlights, that angle really doesn’t do it justice. Those behind the goal will know how good it was.

Hear! Hear! His reactions were fantastic. It really was a great save. David de Gea would have been proud of that one. Although I doubt David de Gea would have been quite so proud of kicking that ball on to the roof of the stand, or indeed of turning out for cov against Newport in the first...

We really have. Anyone want to evolve this thread into an ‘all time shit 11’?

I think we’ve seen the best of stokes. I hope I’m wrong but his lack of pace is his downfall and he won’t be getting any quicker now. Still think he could do a job at centre half...but not ahead of what we’ve got there already.

I think sheff wed paid about £500k for him. I was well chuffed! Also saw him getting out muscled by a certain Dion Dublin vs Cambridge Utd.

Yeah I thought Billing was alright. If memory serves me right he never really got consistent ‘game time’. Would it have been andy Pearce keeping him out?

Hmmm...I take back what I may have said about Haynes in any other threads.

Agree about the ref. Looked to me like they should have had a booking in the first min, and that a few of their tackles were flying in. I thought one was a sending off. From my vantage point I could see a huge queue at the turnstile after the game had kicked off. Seemed a bit shambolic.

For what it’s worth... Burge 8 Macdonald 6 Hyam 7 Haynes 7 Grimmer 6 Doyle 6 Bayliss 6 Vincenti 5 Shipley 5 Mcnulty 5 JCH 6 Reid 8 Biamou 7 Ponticelli 5

Or was sat on the roof! I don’t think I’ve ever seen that before. It was funny.

One or two of his kicks werent great but he did a great throw out and didn’t spill anything in what were difficult conditions. I’ve been a huge critic of Haynes since he got into the team. Have always thought he was only average going forward and a shocking defender. Today I thought he looked...

Straight up. Thought he looked positive...bar a couple of dodgy crosses. Although, Would probably give Burge the nod. He only managed to kick the ball onto the stand roof, straight from a goal kick, once today! That save was incredible.

Well fuck me...that was cold and wet! Just through the door. I don’t envy those with a longer journey home. Sorry if I’m repeating other posts now...thought we were the better side first half and it looked like Vincenti was at fault for the goal. Is that right? An amazing save by Burge and an...

Was he not French? I missed the game but I remember a report of a match vs West Ham. It was reported as being a game of two centre halves JGW and Rio Ferdinand! We should have tried a swap deal.

Thanks. Very informative. Will do.

I remember Thompson going on loan. A centre back too. I would imagine a run out for Barrow would be good prep for the more physical aspects of the game. I can honestly say I know nothing about Finn. Nor had I heard of the lad we sold to Man Utd. Our academy really appears to keep producing quality.

Serious question, who would you have said? Do we have others that you think we need to get excited about? My knowledge of the youth team is pretty much non-existent.

I was gonna mention him but thought it too controversial!

Went on to have a long career in Serie A didn’t he? With Udinese I believe.
