Mike, I drove you to that Blackburn match. -18c?????? No bloody way. Was cold but at -18c you would have had to push my car home! Maybe the Newcastle away game, which was Meticulous Mark’s first game on a Sunday lunchtime? during the same season?
I was also thinking Derby. They haven’t got money to spend and I believe are still operating under a FL financial plan. They certainly aren’t heading in the right direction lately.
Birmingham away NYD 1980. Went up by supporters coach and had Radio 2 on, announcing every couple of minutes that another game had succumbed to the Arctic weather. Yet miraculously we arrived at St Andrews to a game that was still going ahead. Pitch was white with frost, Gordon Hill wearing his wife’s tights, players slipping over everywhere. We were stood in the corner of the ground, diagonally opposite to where the away support is nowadays, no roof and the wind was as bitter as I can remember. Lost 2-1 to an Archie Gemmill thunderbastard, a minute after we had equalised which was the only time we had a chance to get warm! Thawed out finally turning the corner into SAR.
A few years later on the plastic we played Leicester in the cup, won 5-2. Again it was arctic conditions and sat in the ER stand. Vowed never to sit in that stand again. Frozen. Great game though and Robbie James hit a belter.
Other than Nardi and Kaito to start with the new signings were underwhelming in their performances for the first quarter of the season. Nardi, still for me is the signing the summer. I believe he is better than Dieng. Kaito has come off a bit, but I still like him a lot, Dembele, hopefully will feel like a new signing in February when it is suggested he returns. Morrison when not injured looks a great find and will no doubt be the long term replacement for Cook, Ashby had his best game yesterday. Morgan, what a find….., money to bank there one day. Bennie, I think has a future. At 18 he doesn’t mind putting his foot in. And Verane has certainly creating a good partnership with Field. That leaves Madsen, who I feel could be a really good player, but whether he can adapt to the rigours of the championship is another matter, Celar, was more than unlucky to get the injury when he did. And that leaves Santos. Been unlucky, played out of position because of bad transfer planning, but he is young and hopefully a bit of graft and we may have a player there. And with the development of Kolli I think we have a better squad than last season.
Was watching the darts last night between Aspinall and Littler and I am 99% sure I saw a certain diminutive flying QPR right winger on someone’s shoulders waving a scarf above his head. If it wasn’t him then it must have been his twin brother.
Looks like Manure cannot spend in the transfer window either given that the posted a £115million loss last season. That’s more than three years PSR allowances rolled into one. And whoever renewed Rashford’s contract for another three years on £350k per week was an absolute genius!😂
At least we have defenders playing in their proper positions, albeit Norwich will have a field day down the left, although having Chair back is a big upgrade on Kaito.
Whoever is available in defence it has to be players in their proper positions. Ashby RB, Dunne RCH, jJCS LCH, Paul or Morgan LB. Saying that I think we’ll still get thumped, especially if we adopt such a benign attitude as we did against Swansea and Brizzle.
Suffered from plantar fasciitis last year. It’s all about rest and stretching the tendon as much as you can, by stretching the big toe. Also using a tennis ball under the foot. It is bloody painful and there really is no timescale to it.
I had no problem with it. Just one of those things that happens. We benefitted a few years back against Sheff U when there keeper jumped above his own centre back with nobody near them, fell over the top and dropped the ball on the floor for our forward to walk the ball in the net.
Looking a far better player over the last few games. Great assist for Kholi and nearly repeated it for Chair. The cut inside and shot that hit the crossbar would have been goal of the season done and dusted. Always been a player in there and he’ll always be loved by the crowd for his effort. Hopefully like a few other players he will kick on.
Man of the match for me. He really drove the team forward and was the main trigger of the press. Also he played the pass of the match putting Field through for a chance he put past the post. I think we have a real gem here.
Didn’t realise that Matt Phillips was their no.10. Christ how any club can employ that lump. He looks to put it as politely as I can ‘swollen’. Never bothered to try and take on Ashby once as he knew he couldn’t outpace a walking Ashby. And as others have said, worst team seen down the Bush since, well let’s be honest the Ainsworth side that surrendered to Blackburn last season.
It is something that Marti said that he would employ when he first came. He had a seven second rule that we had to regain possession in that time. The lack of press since has been a big disappointment for me. Whether it is because the lead is usually the centre forward, Dykes did it pretty well but Frey for his undoubted trying totally lacked the pace and stamina required and similarly Celar. Maybe the difference was a young and fit Kolli? In the Stoke game, when Lloyd came on to replace Celar again there was a marked contrast and we were pressing much higher up and causing problems.
And got rid of Salah on the cheap to Wolfsburg. Still cannot understand how with the amount they have spent on players in the last two years how they haven’t been charged under the PSR and on top of that wasn’t there an investigation in dodgy dealings with Putin’s mate that was happening before the club was sold?
Sainz was lucky to stay on the pitch with his continued bleating. Should have been yellowed for throwing the ball away when a decision went against him before he eventually got yellowed for that assault on Ashby. Still Dunne did manage to break his nose in the first few minutes with a sly elbow in the first few minutes.
