Whitey Grandad

Not a decade. But certainly this season.

He was a long way away from doing that.

That’s when he gets sacked.

No we are not. There are tactics and formations that we have not used. Things like a back four and going on the attack.

But no team has ever been champions before. You forget just how significant n achievement this is. Hint: it isn't

Some people here are making excuse for him on account of his age. In which case don't throw him on for the last few minutes when you're trying to hang on to a point or three.

We're shit at home because we are set uyp to play that way. Five at the back! At home!

Of course I blame Rusk, who else is there? Packing our own penalty are with an endless string of last-ditch interceptions is only ever going to end one way. How manty times does it need to be said? Your defending starts in their half of the pitch. Playing five at the back is an admission of defeat before you even start. The extra defenders simply get in each other's way and leave the midfield undermanned. It is an abomination and anyone who champions it should be sectioned.

Sulemana was a disappointment again. Twice he was facing an opponent and all he could think of doing was just blasting the ball against him. What did he think was going to happen?

Their second goal came straight after Dibling tried to be clever on the edge of our own box. There is a place for tricky footwork and it’s not there.

That just proves that being in the lead at some stage is not a winning position.

He drives a Tossla

The wrong person to bring on but we were always going to concede another.

I think you have your reason why right there.

Aribo was on the bench and he brings on Bree and Dibling.

A spanking?

Learning by playing or learning by watching?

Not just yours.

Please don’t tell me that you believe that we’d have got automatic promotion with McCarthy in goal all season?

I’ll settle for anybody as long as it’s just the four.

Ideally your keeper wouldn’t need to make any saves.

I completely agree that we need better but I would prefer him in goal to McCarthy. you cannot isolate a goalkeeper’s performance from the team that’s in front of him. He may be playing in a weaker league but doesn’t that also make mean that the defences are weaker?

And? What’s your point, if you have one? We finished in the playoffs. That’s all that counts.

You cannot possibly say that. It might be more accurate to say that we wouldn’t have been in the playoffs without him in goal. As a goalkeeper he is nothing special but he’s not as bad as some of you make him out to be. It was the move away from Russball that made the difference.

My wife was always telling me that there was a heatwave just after she was born in April 1949. By the time I came along in July it was over. The highest temperature reached 29.4C on 16th April. How on earth did anybody survive?
