    Doug King Takeover

    You’re interviewed for a job, are offered it. All parties accept terms including salary but HR don’t provide a contract to sign until the very last minute or actually after you’ve technically started. Happens pretty much all the time in my profession.

    City 4 Spurs 3

    Spurs played in our yellow away shirts as the ref said their blue and white Hummel kit was too close to our stripey “Triple S” strip w the white shorts we used for league games.

    Keepers

    Shot stopping. He makes some genuinely good saves but his decision making and distribution can be suspect. There was a real sliding doors moment in the Preston game; Wilson came charging out and took out their attacker. Stonewall red card, Moore even started to get changed iirc. Somehow the...

    Todd Kane - a simpler explanation?

    After the announcement of Saturday’s starting XI - and without discussing the merits of the individuals involved, we were discussing how far down the pecking order Todd Kane has fallen. The right back he competed with last season got injured, so did the replacement rwb and then a third was...

    Ratings vs Swansea

    I’m not really disagreeing I said it was fortunate but not outrageously so. Here is the Swansea version of extended highlights. Obviously they’re partial but it does indicate they weren’t out of the game in the first half, and we’re confident as soon as they scored the first.

    Ratings vs Swansea

    [/ Maybe. Although we would have needed more shots on target and their keeper to have been particularly useless. Alternatively despite playing well we might have also have been only 2-1 up or 1-0 down.

    Ratings vs Swansea

    Joe Allen had 45 touches in handed half an hour. About half a dozen less than Sheaf and Hamer managed from the entire match and more than Jamie Allen. When Joe Allen came on he found an unbelievable amount of time and space in the centre circle and our player mostly stood back while he passed...

    That’s an interesting example. Bury’s ground was bought by someone with no interest in the football club. He forced them out and tried to develop the land. The club were liquidated and a phoenix club started again in non league.

    Be a lot easier if our club wasn’t quite so magnetic to them tbf.

    I know what you mean but having experienced Jojar Dhinsa, Preston Haskell IV, Dale Evans and various Walter Mitty characters over the years I would expect us to be a little more cynical of any prospective saviours.

    Are we that easily taken in? West Ham were sponsored by Dagenham Motors and at one point “BAC the window people”. Billy Bonds was a good player. If I went further and claimed that I’d been on the books of say Crystal Palace but never made it due to injury, bad luck or some other non...

    I would have fancied Robins to close a 3 point gap with 15 games to go. But you do you.
