I was watching a motd re run of the highlights of our trip to goodison park in 85/86 earlier today. Chris Nicholl was the manager and there was a shot of him on the bench with his assistant manager. I can't find who it was, any ideas? Also the keeper was a third choice 17 year old called Granger....id never heard of him.
Granger
Forrest
Tankard
Case

I see Exeter have Lloyd James, Dan Seabourne and Lee Holmes too... quite a reunion going on down there with Martin and Forte. Lambert and Bernard next ?
Oh sparky said, we're going to play him in centre mid,
Oh words can't describe,
When you see him in the Red and White,
His hair is fine,
He scores belters all the time,
That's why we sing a song,
For Stuart Armstrong
Oh Mark Hughes said, we're going to play him in centre mid,
Oh words can't describe,
When you see him in the Red and White,
His hair is fine,

I was at Elland Road Thursday and the fans were getting on Rose back badly. As was Vardy because no early balls or service were coming quick enough. He was garbage tbh
Just on the train back to Yorkshire ..
No doubt the team is set up better and we have shape. First half we were just a little slow on the ball albeit re confidence but then ruined all the hard work in the first minute of the second half.
Personally I think if we continue this way, we have a chance if we beat Boscome and Swansea.
I was in the Wembley inner circle and I can honestly say that bar 3 renditions of OWTS .. our support not good. I said this at the league cup final last year, it’s getting dire and embarrassing.
Hazard was the difference today ... but all in all I don’t think there is to much to complain about bar Austin’s goal
There is a positive vibe around Wembley and the weather is blistering. It could be a long time until we experience a day like this again so let us enjoy it. It’s the hope that ultimately kills us but I for one will forget about relegation and all the other crap for one day.
Up the saints
What ever people want to say, the players are fighting for the shirt - win lose or drawer that’s a big step forward.
If people want to question the importance of confidence just look at the difference that goal made. I’d do anything g for a repeat 45 minutes and 3 points
