  1. Dean Ashton on Quest queried it as well. You'd think the taker had enough advantage without having to stop as well.
  2. I always understood that players were not allowed to stop during their run up. A slow run (Jet) is fine, but players have been taking more and more liberties. Today, Ayew for Swansea definitely came to a halt a couple of steps from the ball. Is this actually a rule, and if so, how would it be penalised. Retake or disallowed?
  3. The three teams we lost to are the top three in the table. The bottom 5 have 2 points between them. Just like the men, early days yet.
  4. What I really like about Bakinson is that he sees a pass before he gets the ball and his one touch passes are usually accurate and often forwards. All this from a basically defensive midfielder.
  5. Natural selection has reduced the number of clubs in an area when times change. The North West couldn't sustain Darwen, Nelson, Glossop and Accrington , and South Wales decline in the valleys saw off Aberdare and Merthyr. All a long time ago, but maybe it's starting again. You have to hand it people who stick with their club rather than bigger local rivals, but there is point where it just isn't sustainable.
  6. Just like the men, they seem to be hard to beat.
  7. Spotted this at Shelton Mallet carnival.
  8. The only thug I've seen in McBurney. Why didn't he get a card for two late tackles in 5 mins?
  9. I fully agree that we have been dropping back far too much, BUT I was encouraged last night. We pressed Fleetwood higher up the pitch. Duric ran himself into the ground, O'Neill kept waving men forward and with him and Hegeler in midfield, Fleetwood had nowhere to go and were often kept on the half way line. In the last few minutes, we went deep again, but overall it was much better. We never looked likely to concede - and remember we were in front for over 70 minutes. If we keep this formation and attitude, we could have a half decent team in the making.
  10. If we do get it back to 3-3, lets hope we don't get a repeat of Coventry when we did the same and then conceded straight from kick off.
