Northern Red

That Crewe away game was the one that did for us, coming off the back of the Birmingham game where Peter Ndlovu and Mike Dean cheated us out of the points.

Any chance you lot can do this on one of the umpteen other threads instead of taking this one off topic?

That job is Steve Cooper's if he wants it.

Started (but didn’t score) in Monza’s 4-2 win over Milan yesterday.

Some game.

Monza we’re 2-0 up at half time.

Milan had a player sent off early second half, but pulled it back to 2-2 in the 88th minute.

Monza then scored in the 90th and 95th minutes.

And, instrumental in Monza’s goals was Daniel Maldini, son of the great Paolo. Who’s on loan from…..Milan! 

I ended up watching it from about 40 minutes in, just as the Monza keeper had got injured and had to be subbed, they then went 2 up in the resulting added time at the end of the first half.

Pedro Pereira came on as a late sub for Monza too.

Not the opinion of everyone 

No, but of enough people. Media included.

Now it's the reason we lost, because touring teams traditionally do so well in India of course.

Bazball was the greatest thing since sliced bread 2 Tests ago.

Was definitely the kit that made the players unable to pass the ball yesterday.

When Bell goes off, I thought it was telling that Manning brought on Cornick over him. Our brand new signing being left on the bench in place of a competition winner. 

Manning seeing him train and still brings on Cornick over you. Shame really as he looked good in his cameo on Tuesday. 

Cornick who came on and scored the other night and has been playing well recently?

Twine didn't get injured during his appearance on the bench.

I heard he got a splinter in his backside, out for the season.

It wouldn’t surprise me if he was. He will get backing like LJ. The useless ***** would never sack him as it would admit they were wrong. 
 

That reason alone is why we have to just bare with him and hope he learns.  Am far from convinced though. 

People used to say this about LJ and it ultimately didn't do him any good when it was felt that he'd run his course.

He'll get time and resources, possibly more than he might end up deserving, but I don't think they'll be shy about moving him on if it saves their own skin.

Not shocked.

Brian Tinnion brought us Heywood and Smith. 

What does that have to do with anything?

Poor decision by Manning.  Could set his whole career back.  A boy amongst men

You do like to get hysterical, don't you?

Just now, Galley is our king said:

If that performance today is progression, you can shove it!

Not sure anyone has said it is.

I'm not jumping on this because I'm not sure what the situation is, I wonder if he was on the bench encase we had another game where we were comfortable and he could come on and get some minutes without having to push himself. Obviously that never happened and so maybe Manning didn't send him on because he was concerned he'd push himself and get re-injured. Without confirmation from Manning himself, I'm not jumping on Manning for not using him, he already has enough to reflect on after that game, all his own doing.

Agreed, I think we need to hear what the thought process was. Whether Manning will be asked is another point entirely.

I mean it's probably why we are where we are, and will likely remain for some time, but how on earth do you go from Tuesday night to that shite today?

How very predictable.

Yep had to laugh at the play off talk after the Saints game. City will never change

Bet you didn't post anything to counter it at the time though? Far easier to wait until we're losing so you can gloat.

Head of Recruitment eh?

Job for Keith Burt?

How to lose a Test in 2 hours.

Aldershot v Altrincham is on TNT tomorrow at 5:30. Chance to see him in action.

From "good interview, speaks well" to "he's got a shit attitude that might be disruptive" in less than 10 posts.

Only on here...

"Further details of the free-to-air broadcaster will be confirmed in due course."

That doesn't read like it'll be TNT showing them.
