  1. I ordered at 1000hrs on the day they came out - how is it that less than 48hrs to the game and I don't have the tickets yet? Surely they send them as they take the booking?
  2. I had a pair of Gola (from a chairty shop as my parents were always proper skint!).....thought I was Schilachi after I got them....he had more success in front of goal though Love this!
  3. Agree....he tends to grab a game by the scruff of the neck at times and create a few chances.... At least we'll have all the new players that we will be buying....
  4. 9 pages - how many times can a bloke leave X (Formally Known as Twitter)?
  5. What is it about not moving with the times I personally like the idea of an away ticket to keep with the printed programme...especially in an age of nothing tangible. (Partially the same reason why I have a vinyl collection)
  6. Not received my tickets (4) yet. I'll start to get nervous around Fri at 1700.
  7. I have experience in this.....stop at Clarkies a few times.....at least 3 Pies each time.....with be higher than an artic explorers nutsack in no time.
  8. Sunderland. When we melted and lost 4-3 (i think) ...that was turgid sh1t!
  9. Yes, but we are playing "front foot football"....clearly this means across the back repeatedly with no forward movement. Simply undone by a patient team who knew that, on the balance of probability, an opportunity would arise.....and it did....on 89mins.....they were playing for a draw came away with much more.....we were playing for a win (not sure I actually believe that now I've written it) and come away with nothing.
  10. He is getting absolutely no service. The issue starts with a lack of creative midfielders....the link between the defence (which is usually quite strong) and the forwards is likely a sieve......we lose the ball too easily in midfield. Add to that no movement off the ball (especially a thrown ins)....and be become to easy to read. Still have an over-reliance on going down the left. Weimman never in the right position to enable Tanner to play forward down the right....resulting in a backward pass....I've been critical of him.... But genuinely felt for the lad today. People (in the team) jumping on him telling him where to go....and they aren't in a playable position themselves. All in all a poor performance.
  11. Not condoning the behaviour.....had the ref and lino given the blatant foul it wouldn't have tipped over.
  12. AW needs to play in front of Tanner.....keeps drifting to the centre....when Tanner then gets the ball he has no option to play to.
  13. Nope, it because "no one likes them" (apparently).
  14. I just want points (preferably 3 - but 1 would do) - the most critical focus should be getting to 50+ points and securing championship status for next season. I think it is fairly obvious that we are on the fringes (perhaps out performing ourselves / expectation??) of the playoffs - but, as is always the same in this league, the margins are so fine - a winning run can see you climb exponentially - equally a loss can send you falling like a stone. I am not sure that we are there in terms of play off push and I think that any financial backing (if any) in Jan will be limited (having just posted a £22m loss). Sadly, our only consistency is being wonderfully inconsistent (both in terms of play due to available resources and financial backing to see us properly mount a challenge) Having had a few days to consider things I cannot fault the team and their drive to try and succeed. They fight for each other - something that emerged under NP but seems to have been consolidated under LM - Think we have surprised a few teams of late. I will be there (as always) this afternoon in the Dolman willing them to extend their winning ways - I could do with a little lifter this morning (curious headache this morning - can't think why)
  15. Don't disagree with you... But.......how many of those caps were through lack of alternatives? Never really understand this argument. I think Conway can hold his own in this league - lacks a bit of confidence....once he finds himself he'll be back up there
  16. 95 mins and not a single shot on target. All in all a good December period. A draw still give us 10 points from the last 4 games.
  17. Great ball skill by Bell to get passed the left back. Great cross...
