my low points focus on Nick Proschwitz leading the line, 6,000 for midweek games at the Ricoh and a club likely to go out of existence.
that explains when we are in play off finals or fa cup semi finals I turn up at Wembley with tears in my eyes - can barely believe it considering how far we...
Makes me absolutely shudder SB. Completely misreads the room both in her work on the final few games and at the Doug press conference. I’ll be turning off the volume.
This happens in football at all levels. MVE is an elite player and in the conversation if we think about our best right backs in history. Not going to get tied up in the criticism of the team and individual errors when we have 90 minutes to turn this around. As MVE would say: ‘vamos.’
Bring on...
Get a grip lads. That was daylight robbery by Sunderland. We’re 1-0 down going into the next 90 minutes against a team we know we can beat. And Sunderland will be very nervous if we get the first goal. Onto Tuesday and a very iconic performance. We’ve been here before and got it done.
agreed fatso but not sure how we should play it in the premier. 10-12 new players could be disastrous if that killed team spirit and then we're left with 10-12 overpaid prima donnas back on relegation to the champ. there's no easy way given the huge gap between the 2 leagues. forest somehow made...
agree with the comments on wright fatso.
in terms of stepping up - I could see Dovin, Kitching, Thomas, Grimes, Sheaf, Saka as very decent squad players to add to 4-5 key top class additions.
Good point malc. I could never listen to Clive’s radio commentary without having a complete mental breakdown - as Clive was always predicting danger - with the oppo most likely playing the ball around their penalty area. With video I’ve cut down on the Valium.
Grimes is being overlooked. One of our very best January signings. Does the simple things very very well - and is technically and positionally excellent. He allows others to play. Pure class. We’ve recruited excellently - not every signing is going to immediately work out - our success rate...
Been present for many amazing goals since 1980. Hamer at Wembley was the most emotional for me. One of the best moments of my life for all kinds of reasons.
Assuming we make play offs this time and comparing with the play off final team, I'd go for:
Dovin
MVE
Thomas
Doyle
Bidwell
Hamer
Grimes
Rudoni
Saka
Vik
Wright
So just 4 players from the play off final albeit 2 of our all time superstars. Really wanted Fadz in there as cap but doesn't work...
Nearly. 3 Da Silva brothers who all moved to the Chelsea academy from Luton when they were teenagers - the 2 other brothers are twins. Jay is the only one who made it in league football.
