Monday

I had been printing them out. But I decided to follow Greta Thunberg's example. She saves all her pre match, match and post match threads on the cloud. I like to also save them on cross indexed flash drives for back up comfort too. I had to tell Greta that the servers we were using were the ones Steve Grant uses to churn crypto assets through, off the back of sub fees. So, it's actually more harmful to the environment than the printing.

I'm going to wait for Ralph's pre match interview and injury reports to give substance to the 1-0 win for us that I'm going to go for. 🙂

Thanks very much for keeping this going Big Ron fan.

Good to see a solid win with the youngsters being given minutes. Sorry, the even younger youngsters to separate them from our new signings. 🙂 A pathway that has real talent, as opposed to having a slightly threadbare squad with youngsters filling up the bench. Che getting more minutes and more goals ahead of United, keeps things ticking over nicely too.

He could, but I still dream of Dennis Rofe returning to put out the cones. 🙂

To a younger me, he wasn't a star name like a Keegan, Ball or a Channon. He wasn't one of really talented youngsters like a Moran, Wright or Williams. But he was consistently excellent in our best ever teams, and another of Lawrie's very shrewd signings. A very clever, versatile player who could support others, as well as get on the score sheet himself. Such sad news. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

At half time I was saying that Ralph will have perhaps been quite pleased with the outcome. Absorbed Leicester's pressure and nearly had a goal on a break. No doubt about it at full time. Even if we had lost that 1-0, he could have pointed out that it was from a set piece in a very good position for them, and that perhaps the keeper might have done better (it was going at pace for me really, so it would have had to have been his starting position if anything) Concdeing from that meant that his initial tactic would have to be turned around. Leicester certainly dropped off, a marked difference to their first half. The introduction of Adams was a game changer. We now had someone who could hold it up, even among Leicester bodies. KWP got more freedom and looked dangerous. A different game plan in effect from Ralph. I'd have kept Mara on and taken off AA. Ralph took AA off for Stu. A really interesting decision, taking off a second forward when 1 down. AA had done most of his best work in a supporting role, and with Aribo still on with Stu, we did have attacking options still on. Adams finished really well for the goals, and also closed them down leading from the front. We also looked a lot more solid at the back today. Even under the large amount of Leicester possession in the first 30 odd minutes. Djenepo's still no natural full back. But in addition to him being a good attacking complement to KWP on the otehr flank, later in the game, I saw him get in to take up some good defensive positions, and make some good tackles. Lavia already looks excellent. Extra points for standing up to Maddison late on. Mo might not have offered much in the first part of the game. But when you've got a number of attacking options on there around him, he was doing a number of the supporting play well. JWP also benefited from that. He got in some solid tackles, as well as some freedom to deliver passes into the final third. Lots to discuss about that one, so looking forward to reading the comments. I'd have taken a point at the start. Certainly at half time. Great that the team had more ambition today than I managed. 🙂

Yaaaay!

Nearly 3 for Adams!

Where is six minutes from?

a daring 5 at the back finale! Oh Ralph, you risk taker! 🙂

Coaching Conflab!

Adaaaaaaams!!!!!!!!!

Djenepo with cramp again this week. He has put in a shift.

Yup. I was moaning about them just earlier. I'm 3-0 down on comments today. 🙂

Yeeeeeeees!!!!! Adams, who has done only good things since he's been on, gets it!!!!
