  1. In 84 if my memory serves me correctly the kiosk/trailer in our end was tipped over. Poor sods inside!!!
  2. Fair point but he does let in more goals than he should.
  3. Jack does do this but he has flaws. He is brave and Wood seems to have lost his way a bit, doesnt seem quite so determined as he was. We still allow the opposition to attack and get crosses in. To be fair I dont think WBA are as poor as people say, and apparently theyare a very energetic side and play till the end. Grant was decent all game and caused problems
  4. For the crowd to be lifted you need effort from the team. At 3-0 I still dont relax and the start of the 2nd halfwe just surrendered space and let them onto us. This caused anxiety due to past scars. You just knew that we were going to let them back into the game and we needed somebody to take the game bythe scruff of the neck. Tonda was trying to rally the fans towards the end and I feel the Northam were brilliant roaring us on at the end. In essence we need the players to show energy for the fans to lift, but we just went into our shells.
  5. People knock Macca for his passing but last night Bazza found row Z a few times
  6. Yep a great day, but now I dont want to see my grand daughter and famillies with their kids being terrified by that lot. I suggest that people dont take their young with them, its sad but a fact. The hatred is something you dont want young kids to face. The adrenaline of those days are quite something and 84 was one of thebest feelings ever, a privilage to have been there
  7. First half we were ok but hardly fantastic,we took advantage of a sublimepass by Azaz, a great runby Fellows and a defenders mistake. Their keeper hardly had to make a save. 2nd half we just surrendered midfield and decided to play along the back. Jander looked tired, Robinson came on and did nothing. Frazer ran a lot but was ineffective. We still need a bigforward to hold the ball up so that the defence can clear the ball up to him and we can build from there. Baz is not my choice, he yet again let one in on his left and did seem to be too close to his near post, I havent seen the replay of their 2nd but he seemed weak but may have been fouled. McCarthy was better at dealing with these situations as he would go and punch or catch. Manning brillian clearance off the line, Baz a good tipover. Oriol looked like an old man out there and really needs to get up to speed. I dont understand why our midfield loses control, the return of Che may make a massive difference. Flynn played ok. Iagreed that Leo and Armstrong needed prtecting by coming off nd Archer gave his all, showed more zip than I seen him do at any time. I believe Quarsie will become a top defender, and did little wrong.
  8. I want them to get a worse points tally than us. The way Edwards left Boro as well.
  9. I sawonine that we were intrested in a Serbian keeper. £1-1.5m
  10. Do we have a goal keeping coach? If so its about time he did his job and doesnt just put cones out. There must be an easy way to show a keeper about his positioning.
  11. Mack 'mind the gap' Rill you certinly have a crystal ball.
  12. To me he has done a fantastic job with generating more commercial revenue for the club. I do hope MB is wrong and he is still here
  13. Its always mildly amusing when people say the teams weve beaten are rubbish, there have been plenty this season who weve drawn and lost too in that category!! Seems once we fail to beat those so called easy games theyve gone on great runs eg Derby, Watford, Blackburn
  14. I like Thomas Frank amd so with his Bretford links it could be right. TF lost the Spurs fansassoon as he said about proper fans
  15. Tall Paul gave Van Dykeand Konate a hell of a time, because he suffers from looking ungainly fans think he's rubbish. He was a decent target man nd would certainly have done well for us. Sadly we sold him for low money and we couldnt replace him for the money. Anyway hes gone now and we have to find someone todo the job
  16. Not sure we need one like that but it takes all types😀
  17. where did you get those igures from? I resectfully point out tht when we went up last time Macca comnig into the team changed our fortunes. He was superb and helped the defence gain confidence as he would command his area
  18. How hasnt Kelvin made that list
  19. Ive seen your keeping BP, and might choose you over him although😀
  20. Yep Im a big critic but last night he did well
  21. Manning gets lots of unfaircriticism in my opinion, Yes he may only be top Championship quality but he gives his all, and his 2 delicious crosses created2 goals. Well done Ryan, you deserve praise

    Cam Bragg

    Bragg came on for a cameo role last night and I was impressed with 2 quality involvements that gave me hope that he is indeed a gem. He did one crossfield pass and a forward dart of a pass that found his man that nearly created a chance from nothing. We must slowly bring him through, but it will be worthwhile me thinks
  23. It was ironic that the Leicester fans sang 'your support is f'ing shi@' when they had a terrible turnoutconsidering what a big team they perceive they are lol
  24. If I recall correctly we didnt score in the last 5 games, this caused grt resentment but again I think we missed 2 pens in those games. We all need the rush of a goal and there was a pent feeling of frustration as we couldnt get our fix. It didnt also help that he wasnt Mr Personality in interviews, I doubt many of us would sound sparkly in a 2nd language. I recall when we went to WHU and played magical attacking football, and name a Saints manager who has beaten Arsenal at their place, and Liverpool home and away also not letting a goal in!!! Very unlucky not to have been given another season whre he could have got his players in
  25. Sadly that goes for 130 plus other times
