Boston Red

The race for eleventh continues. I've got no nails left.

Ashton Gate at its best. 33.30

Mehmeti is right footed. Would it help to play him down the right? Send him down the wing on his stronger foot so he can cross? As it is he is always cutting inside so we have no natural width down the left.

"We've just had our budgerigar put down." "Was he very old, then?" "Nah. We just didn't like him." MONTY PYTHON SKETCH "We've just sacked our manager Nigel Pearson." "Was he not very good, then?" "Nah. We just didn't like him." THE LANSDOWNS

Max could have stuck his right foot out and trapped that shot.

Before signing for us he had scored one league goal in three years, and Cotterill found him in the lobby of a hotel in the United Arab Emirates, without a club. He kept signing in to the hotel gym to impress Cotterill. What a signing.

Steady on, pal. It has taken us a long time to get back to 14th, and I don't want anyone blowing it now.

This from the Liverpool forum. They had a quick lad called Junior Bent, I think, that caused us all sorts of problems. Unless I'm thinking of the hiding Bristol Tits gave us a couple of years later Boss city is the Brizz so let's hope we draw. Kidding .. What a draw ! I've always thought it was the closest place you could get to calling the Liverpool of the South. https://www.redandwhitekop.com/forum/index.php?topic=355184.200

This from the Liverpool forum............. The guy with the ongoing contract to spray on Ben White's Tan, that's what a win looks like. People said he was crazy when he bought those surplus fire hoses.

We never really went for the win at the end against Birmingham, even though they were completely there for the taking, for fear that they would nick it on the break like against Norwich. With hindsight we should have, bearing in mind what has just happened now.

I agree. This is what happens when you play a right-footer down the left wing.

I remember a bloke called Steve Clifford scoring 8 for us in a 15-0 win for the reserves against Weymouth. About 1991, I think.

It's a completely unforced error. After 10 points out of 12, no one was looking to go over this old ground again. They have brought it on themselves and revealed a totally unnecessary pettiness, vindictiveness, and lack of class. They are going out of their way to show themselves in a bad light when there is absolutely no need to. Oh well, let us be grateful for small mercies. Stalin used to airbrush out of photos those colleagues whom he had had murdered. At least the regime has not sunk that far......................................

You have got to hand it to the bloke. He wants that first promotion on his CV, and he won't stop until he gets it.

He raced cows and fed the successful ones to the team as a pre-match meal?

Under Pearson we sat back and played counter-attacking football. Manning has clearly done a lot more work on us in possession, and today it came off. We looked fantastic.

For the second, don't think Sykes would have got there at the far post, so very happy for the defender's little contribution.

We were killing them down the left in that first half with Mehmeti, Pring, and Conway.

Liam Miller headed in a beauty on 75 minutes to put us 1-0 up, and the ref disallowed it. Then they got a last minute winner in front of the away fans. Very frustrating.

Also WWWDWWWWWWWWW under John Ward in 1997/8. Took us from about 17th to top by Christmas. There is 9 in a row there, but the full sequence is more impressive. The draw was an annoying 0-0 away to Walsall.

No one's taking 14th off us now.

Sorry, missed this, what was said?

Yeah, here it is.
