Is this going to be the first World Cup finals that England have appeared in where we aren't going to expect them to win it? If so, I say 'Well done that man'.
OK, so I'm not the first to use this phrase (was it Norman Lamont?) but I feel that Joe G's 4 goals today might just be the making of him. Sure, he's still got some way to go, but I also remember a certain P Ward scoring loads for the reserves before he ever got a look at the first team. If he...
CKR obviously reads NSC......
"I think someone on North Stand Chat said if I got five goals they will walk on the pitch and kiss Dick Knight's bum, so I'd like to see them do that!"
.....so who was it?
Our performances this season seem to be marked by the fact that we start slowly and get better or start well and fall away. Either way, we seem to be incapable of getting 90 minutes out of the team and this is costing us points. Bearing in mind that McGhee wanted to make us the fittest team in...
After winning their first game (away from home) and drawing their next, Plymouth have now lost their last 4 league games. Does anyone want to speculate what will happen in their next 6 league games?
They also won their cup match, just to create even more of a parallel.
There's a link on the Seagulls site that says Knight 'limped out of training this morning' but when I tried to read it I got an 'unobtainable' message. Does anyone know the full story - is he badly injured or is it just a precaution?
There's been an awful lot of criticism of McCammon for his attitude recently. However, on Saturday McGhee criticised his strikers for their lack of 'work ethic'. Looking on the Seagulls site though it's difficult to identify who he was talking about - as Knight and CKR were subbed by Robinson...
I see they've made a bid for Pollitt, the Rotherham goalkeeper. An interesting move considering he's been one of their few stars this season and they're playing them on Saturday. Even if they don't get him it'll certainly unsettle Rotherham ahead of the game.
Maybe this is how they plan to use...
we've beaten a team managed by Warnock? I'm not sure if we beat Notts County in the league that year (92?) we got to the playoff final, but I can't remember us beating one of his teams.
Saw this on The Argus site in a report of Sussex's win last night....
Whitehawk's Chris Hibberd stabbed in the 40th-minute equaliser after a ball in from East Preston's Chris Hibberd, his former Worthing team mate.
....it must have been mighty confusing when these two played together.
What a difference in our feelings for the Manager, Players and the Club itself in just 14 days.
Against Leeds we (supporters, players and staff) approached the game in exactly the right manner. We treated it like a cuptie – with us as the underdogs. We knew that we’d have to battle hard all...
If Rotherham & Gillingham continue with their current form then I think the 4th to bottom team may need more than 50 points to stay up. Last season there was a similar situation, with Wimbledon & Bradford looking doomed from an early stage, and Walsall went down with 52 points. This season could...
A few years ago, when Forest were at the bottom of the Prem, they were considered a club 'too good to go down'. We all know what happened then, and I wonder if they're about to do the same in this league. The symptoms look familiar - too many narrow defeats and an inability to come back once...
I think it's great that other clubs seem to approach each match with us thinking they only need to turn up to win. Every time I read about a manager saying that his lot really should be beating the likes of us I just know they've either lost or are about to. I also think this explains why we're...
