  1. Yes, that was more like it, encouraging when required and appreciative too.
  2. And had Rob Cundy that we let go at the heart of their defence.
  3. I sometimes have mixed feelings about overage players playing in the junior teams for anything other than part of a recovery from injury, but there can be little doubt that the amount of time he and Conway have played together is a key to the way they come in the last couple of games.
  4. I really have high hopes for him, I have said several times that I think he may even feature at some point this season. It will be interesting to see how he gets on against men at Chippenham, shame the game was cut short Saturday.
  5. And would you be still saying that if Somerset were top of their group? Sometimes our feelings about competitions can be tempered by our teams performance in them. Almost everyone had a downer on the League Cup in the seasons leading up to our run to the Semi-final, a season when you could barely find a dissenting voice.
  6. Yes sorry you are right, that diarama makes it look like that is all carpark in the top right, but now I can see that they will just have a straight run through onto Harbour Rd. Thank you.
  7. Caught up with this about 15 minutes in and thought it was quite interesting, I thought there wasn't quite the depth I wanted although, seeing him fighting with himself to get out on stage was quite startling. I thought I learned more about him in Colin Murray's Midnight Meets interview with him, which should still be on BBC Sounds if you are interested.
  8. Closer to the Edge - 30 Seconds to Mars
  9. No that's where the car park is, the roundabout in that plan will be outside the Harbourside Doctors surgery Sorry I see others have answered. The only issue I can see is that it will increase the amount of traffic around the estate with people living in Phoenix way at the station end having to drive down to Newfoundland Rd and come out by the Majestics building.
  10. "League 1 at best", especially after one bad miss or pass. "Has a mistake in him" Only ever used about young players learning the game, like they are somehow supposed to be superhuman and never make mistakes.
  11. Tiny Steps - Elvis Costello and the Attractions
  12. I have seen a few clips of Devante Rodney at Rochdale? A bit of late developer physical means they have moved him from the wing to central striker, he has a huge amount pace but obviously needs to work on stuff like finishing. I'd like to see us take a punt on someone like that.
  13. Shame that Bournemouth won't offer him a wage that will allow him to have his own place
  14. Talking of the old floodlights, I used to like seeing being put on around half time and how they would go from a cream to white colour as they warmed up during the early part of the 2nd half. It was so gradual you wouldn't notice that they were the only light source by the last 15 minutes of the game.
  15. Strange how he wasn't saying it after losing to FGR or Crawley Town in the cup. He is so happy with his squad that he is looking to sign 6 more players. How is Wael of Fortune going to keep this up on gates of less than 8000 when he said they needed 11000 to beak even 2 years ago?
  16. I see he has bought into the "Lansdown is selling the club bollocks" that a few on here have.
  17. Saggies? A nickname that has been going across 3 centuries?
  18. Perhaps worth remembering where they were at the start of last season......
  19. I don't really have enough interest in those sort of things to be honest, I can only really go by what it feels like when I am watching. I don't see a relentless number of long balls like in the Pulis days, but we are not Swansea either so I feel our mix is fairly balanced. As far as the passing the ball around the back goes, most of the time it looks like we are deliberately inviting the press so that either Atkinson can then step into the space or so a longer ball is played over the top into the runners like AW or Semenyo or maybe Conway now.
  20. You are some sort of qualified coach do I am out of my depth in this argument, but 25% of our passes being long balls doesn't sound like very direct football it sounds like we have just about the right mix. I am not really interested in how we compare to other teams in this division, because they all seem to think they are Man City clones without the talent.
  21. I remember reading an article about the then World Champion Billy Seebold when he came here for the first time. They took him around the docks and he apparently said "This is great for practice, where do we race?" I was lucky enough that my dad was in the RNR and we used to go on the Venturer on race day and watch from there, talk about close up views! It was actually the smaller single hulled formula 3 and 4 boats that were the most dangerous, as the water got choppier they would bounce right out and sometimes flip over.
  22. Sam Pearson got 68 minutes against a straight ng Wrexham side, they drew 1 1. Buse on the bench.
