you are being way too generous.

What struck me was how few passes went to feet in a way that the recipeint could use it straight away. It always had to be controlled, and momentum was lost. O'Hara was an honourable exception.

Lee Burge is saving Sunderland v Posh including one from JCH (just saying)

Yes I hope JJ gets fit.....so we can offload him and get him off the payroll (dons tin hat and retires to a safe distance)

Here, that's what I said - I thought you said I talked rubbish.....

I was fortunate (or unfortunate depending on your point of view) to watch Scargill close too in 1984. I concluded he was a charlatan. This mini thread belongs elsewhere.

Great orator - just a big dick

As the consensus appears to be that Giles will start ahead of McCallum and Ostigard ahead of Rose, there seems to be only two areas of doubt in the team selection, CDM and left side attack The options appear to be - in order of liklihood (imho) 1. CDM Shipley LSA Allen 2. CDM Sheaf LSA...

Mason must be on his way. He is one whom there should be a ready home for in league 1.

With Thomas and Chaplin in the team, we are not suprised. Both lacked end product in different ways Edit -seems neither was playing, oh well

That's about it in a nutshell

...maybe because it is very close to the truth. Newly promoted teams are always viewed as the easiest, it was how we viewed home games like Lincoln last year. Wild optimism does nobody any good, it just doubles the disappointment and is actually just a bit irritating because it involves a...

agreed, and during his tenure Robins' success rate is well above average. The European thing is the only question mark. To view it as a success, one of Kast, Job, Hiss & Dacost has to become a regular first teamer, with two a bit like Shipley - in and out.

All agreed and well known to everybody. That was the point behind the strategy - skilled european players that nobody has noticed, at less cost, who would join us partly for the chance of being spotted by bigger clubs and get really big money. Or something like that. Definetely worth a concerted...

But the jury is out on the cheap european players. Not Hamer, he cost money - that's different and looks to be a real star But Kastaneer, Jobello, Hissner and Dacosta were all cheapies. One of those four has to become a regular to warrant continuing with that strand in recruitment. Kasta is an...

Aren't Barnsley are just going to whang in as many set piece crosses to the far post, particularly from our right. On current form that might be a problem. Oh, and they will probabaly try to get Thomas 1 on 1 on McFaz . I'm going to be watching through my fingers. But Godden is going to get the...

... and we are scoring goals (better than last year). The problem is at the other end.

stop please stop - enough transfer speculation already. We have three strikers and limited ability to get rid any that would now surplus (Baka I assume). Give Godden and Walker chance please

Having gone thro this thread it is written in the runes that they will win 2-0 with Chaplin & Thomas scoring, both from very difficult chances...... I'm glad we sold Chaplin - he could never have done the Godden role up front role on his own and we turned a nice profit to boot. I liked Thomas...

The question is who is in a position to take all these players? The L1 and L2 teams are all broke having no crowds. None of these players are in the "development" mould like Eccles. The ones that are like Bapaga we want here. The two that are only played under sufference by Robins, whom a...
