McIndoe came on as sub a lot under Thorn. And it's worth adding Doyle to the un-replaced players as he played for us more recently than Carsley.

I don't think most have blind faith, just desperation-and Hoffman was the only other option. That he no longer is (just now) is more Kens fault than his. Joe Dhinsa really isn't a fair comparison. He was a small-fry self publicist. Hoffman is a much more serious player, a genuine passionate...

I find the t-shirts can't really be seen from a distance like the banners can. What we need is either: 1) Someone to start manufacturing SISU OUT banners, replete with fire certificate. AND/OR 2) So many people to bring banners that there is no way the stewturds can confiscate them all, or...

Something else worth saying about Cyrus-he did more damage with one long-throw than Aron did with his all last season :) That was a much better long throw than anything we've delivered in yonks. It wasn't pretentious, no silly Monty Python Ministry Of Silly Run Ups; but it was flat, fast, at a...

It makes yer feel like that though, doesn't it? I say it sometimes, but I'm sure when it comes to it I'll stump up every year. I'd be happier doing it if I had some trust and faith in our owners though. There is an incredible problem now whereby everything they say seems to rub salt into the...

Maybe. I suppose the return to fitness of people like McSheffrey. Deegan and Eastwood will at least give us the depth we are lacking. As mentioned before, confidence is vital. Any of those would find it much easier coming back into a winning squad, whatever people think of their merits. I...

Well as I said before, against Leamington he was pretty much teaching Bigi stuff as they played the game, constantly prompting and helping him. He was seeing passes that nobody else there could have dreamt of. Yeah yeah just Leamington, I know-but in terms of technical ability I think a lot of...

Matt Jansen, superb. I think he is still player-coach under Gary Flitcroft at Chorley. Needless to say, they steamed their league last season and were top in the one above this year when I looked again. Warnock was the best for me, although Hignett was a class above for those few games. Bjarni...

The stand-out thing is just how well most reports say we played-SKY seemed particularly glowing in their praise. Although the Sunday Mercury was stunningly inept-everything was done by Clingan according to them, including the cracking Cyrus cross that he landed on Lukas' boot.

Never ever forget what Richardson did to our club. I really do think he may well have been Satan, and in his biopic he will be played by either Ray Wise or possibly Jack Nicholson. They're the only actors alive capable of pulling off that evil grin. If Geoffrey was on the gravy train, it was...

Yep, we looked a different team-despite the poor bloke who was expected to be the instant miracle cure having a quiet game. Good news for Cody too, as the pressure is off him a little now the other players are getting into their groove. I'm still worried by just how wafer thin the squad is, and...

I just think 50-60 people bringing banners would be way too much for them to handle. I asked a steward if they'd evict every single fan if they all brought banners, and he said yes! I'd like to see them manage that. It also indicates just how far removed they are for the actual reason they are...

Agree that Husseys crossing was great first half, dangerous, curved and attacking the 6 yard box-but he horrifically over-hit 3 in the 2nd half! He was absolutely superb defensively throughout though, and played 3 lovely balls down the line outside a man and went on a couple of good runs himself...

Aw c'mon even Butcher managed 4. I think..why do you think that Tony? Do you think he's another Joachim or O'Neill faking it and picking up his pay-check? We saw Joachim in town every day in Leamington when the other players were training, heh heh. I don't think Deegs is that kind of bloke...

I was gonna say, at least Poole is a cynical old bugger who remembers when football was football. As I move into the "grumpy" phase of life, I find myself enjoying what he writes more and more. I forgave Dent his Wolvesness so I'll let Poole of his Leicesteritis; if anything it makes them better...

Read my mind Tony..I was just thinking "mmm, Geoffrey..I dunno, 50m is a lot, but Geoffrey..." Then I thought: stuff it. I'll draw the line at Richardson, but on reflection I'd probably embrace a consortium comprising Thatcher, Hitler, Pol Pot and Blair if it meant seeing the back of SISU...

Thanks for a very helpful post, sounds like you've been busy doing your research! The bit I quote is exactly what I was thinking after listening to the fellow on CWR talk about fire certificates. The most telling part about it was that they still reserve the right to remove things they think...

Ah yes, I remember "Screwdriver" Phillips...great player :D

Bang on Vick, I couldn't really believe what I was reading this morning. It really was a cop-out piece that failed to tell the story objectively-more like told it a bit subjectively from either side without balancing any arguments, just thrown together bits. And as for the storm clouds...

Is that the one in Leighton Buzzard that was on the news yesterday? Is that why they came back on Friday, 'cos it was busted :)
