Red-Robbo

I thought the same. Just very assured and recycled the ball into attacking positions so well. Some pretty nifty footwork on display at times as well.

Matt Smith, Lee Mack, Billy Beaumont, loads of dour old blokes in flat caps! Your boys took one hell of a beating! Sir Jack Walker. Can you hear me Sir Jack Walker?! Your boys took one hell of a beating.

At Yeovil now. As he's worked in the game most of his life, he may well object to failed manager's Joseph Barton's public assessment of his abilities.

Murdoch's quietly running The Times into the ground. Telegraph-ising it. Out go experienced journalists with contacts, in come the Jocastas and Piers who don't need a big salary as daddy's trust fund pays for most things.

My understanding is that they were perpetually strapped for cash and staff were instructed to strategically ignore invoices and the like..

You'd think the four-eyed shortarse might be kinder about making comments based on others appearance.

Tammy, but Semenyo would be another great choice to give us what we're missing up front.

As I know Martin Starnes personally, I shall be bringing this post to his attention in the hope he joins the list of people suing Bartscum. His Gofundme donuts won't be able to spend their pensions fast enough to keep him solvent!

Before my time but spoken of fondly by the old 'uns. RIP Dickie.

Tighter defence is what that shows. The Dickie effect.

We've seen that when we play teams with a slightly more open formation, teams trying to take the game to us in a fluid way (often because they are needing points to cement their promotion credentials) we can exploit those gaps and score goals. But, yer, your right. We never dictate play. We cannot take the front foot unless the opposition gives it to us.

I think thry'll have just about enough in them to survive this season. They'd be nowhere near relegation without the point deduction. Taunton Town however, I'm not so sure. It doesn’t help that they have to play home games away.

Both David Wilkinson (chairman) and Paul Ballantyne (director) are multimillionaires. There's not a billionaire owner there though and they probably have the poorest board in the PL.

With hindsight, he should've been given more time to develop. I got to hold my hands up and admit that I didn't see him adapting to the Championship at the time. He looked lost.

Not sure that was the complaint. He always looked like he added something to the squad, but in his first full games for us he struggled to score and seemed lacking in confidence to shoot. Some thought he might make a midfielder but not a striker, others that it was a confidence thing and he'd come good. Which proved correct. Oh what we'd give for a robust frontman able to hold off defenders, now.

False beard and wig to avoid embarrassment.

Players all develop at different rates - and some that look world-beaters at 17 look like panel beaters at 20. (and vice versa of course). Let's remember Vardy might've been off form against us, but he's been a top pro yet in his early 20s he got turned down by Rotherham and Crewe whilst playing non-league. Equally guys who looked like they'd set the world on fire ended up with damp squibs of careers. Best player (unplayable!) at my school never got beyond the Gas under -20s. It happens. As a scout, you shouldn't get caught up in the hype of young prospects. You need to cooly assess.

I'd go as far as to say he was interested - in scoring. As tbf he always is.

Hopefully the Rotherham players will already be mentally on holiday when we meet them. Would like to see us take advantage.

This is it. And it may well be harder playing clubs fighting for their lives at this stage of the season than it is to play clubs thinking about promotion but nervous as to whether they will atain it.

Janners are ways claiming the Mayflower set off from Plymouth, but its home port and the beginning of the voyage was actually Southampton, it merely restocked in Plymouth and it also stopped in the Azores before leaving European territory. Top men - much admired by Geoff Twentyman

Union Street is more pricey these days....
