On the other hand, good to see him still going. I’m sure he has enough money to put his feet up. May well have lots to offer at that level.

thanks very - all sorted now.

same with me!

yes please if still available.

No pace!

Difference for me tonight was our propensity to shoot. We have been shot shy for years but tonight showed the benefits of having a dig. Both second half goals probably down to keeper error but crowded penalty area potentially unsighted keepers. If you don’t buy a ticket…….

Pedantry is a quality imo. (At least when it comes to football)

More seasons in top flight (62) than any of Leeds, Boro or Norwich including 10 consecutive in premier league with cup final appearance and European campaigns during same period. Also founder members of the Football League and Auto Windscreen Shield Winners 2002.

It’s too early to draw any conclusions about Manning but as I understand it, his philosophy is that we control the game and then create good chances. However our two goals from the last two away trips have come immediately after “events” (half time v Huddersfield and subs tonight). When we had control in both games for quite long periods it didn’t lead to a goal. Worryingly we have got 1 point from 2 games against two poor teams.

I think Pring has been disappointing this season and was poor against Morwich. GTH decision stranger - perhaps niggle or just needs a rest.

But that was under Johnson so doesn’t count.

The Grove is a superb boozer. Don’t miss it!

Surely a knock but why oh why did switch back to the left after being so much more effective on the right? (And why did the Radio Bristol interviewer not ask Manning why?)

We should be optimistic but we’ve yet to win back to back this season so I’m not!

Ha! I had not. Perhaps the ref had the wrong angle too!

I’m not sure he was challenged if you look carefully. He just seems to just jump in front of the keeper.

Decent defensive display but zero quality in the final third.

78 for me. Bradford Park Avenue, Harrogate Railway, Darlington and Halifax Town (as was) amongst the more obscure.

I think a few more - around 30 league clubs play on different grounds post Bradford/Hillsborough.

I’ve met somebody today who has worked with LM who told me this is far from the case.

Where is the evidence that he is a yes man?

Is there a train back to Devon after the game though? I’m sure when I looked there wasn’t. Sorry- just read your later post!

You’re absolutely right. I admire your polite language in calling those in power as ramshackle. I can think of other descriptions.

So unless I’m missing something, every time I go to London (which is quite often), it is cheaper to buy a ticket for Ealing Broadway than Paddington and then just hop back off at the latter? I really don’t understand our train system.

Great tip but why is it so much cheaper?
