Dark Munster

Agreed. Bring him back slowly, so he's fully fit for Bournemouth. Likewise any other players nursing niggles or just coming back from injuries. A mix of youth and experience until Bournemouth where we play our strongest team, and also for the semi final and final if we get that far.

Per the article Low courted the lad, if Southgate had too we'd almost certainly would've heard about it. Same with Haaland. There's no guarantee it would work, I think Haaland was influenced by his Dad, but why not try?

https://www.bbc.com/sport/football/56176585 Looks like Low and the Germans courted him, while Southgate shrugged his shoulders.

It's a shame he chose to play for Norway over England. We may have had a chance of winning something if he had.

I wish we had mediocre LB and RB backups.

I look forward to coming back and reading this thread after we lift the Cup in May.

I noticed that too.

Can we stop the count now?

Dear God, no!

And hence it's more likely Ings and Djenepo will pick up something like a hamstring injury. Play important players who are injury prone at most once a week, keeping them fresh and more likely fit for the important match a month from now.

Or even before they touched the ball.

Away goals should count double.

I agree. Make sure he's fresh and raring to go for the Cup match(es).

Or have Mike Dean as referee.

6 pointer. 😉

Or worse for us if we'd drawn/lost or lost/lost them.

Agreed, he was excellent. I'd rest him for Tuesday, wrap him in cotton wool, and have him fit and raring to go against Bompey next month.

I'll definitely argue against that.

I'm afraid that may not be enough. I think we also need an administration and -10 points to completely clear out the rot. We'll still probably be left with Dave Bloody Watson though.

I stand corrected. I remember Valery being the only senior option at the time. But playing JWP there shows we were short of options.

That was a superb cross, right on Adam's head. Notice that come from a rare appearance on him on the right wing. I don't know why manager after manager sticks him on the left, he's shit there. He's less shit central or on the right.

Exactly. They did the same thing with Cedric, shipping him off mid season with only Valery (!) as RB. They got away with it then so thought they could do it again. Penny wise, pound foolish.

If we end up one place higher as a result that'll more than pay for the wages.

I thought she was the elephant in the room. She wouldn't fit through the loo window, more like crashed through the wall.

All these years you've been called Lord Trousers. Apologies, Lady Trousers.
