No idea, but he did get the tactics spectacularly wrong.

The tactics of locking a very decent thread were pretty crap too
No idea why but unlocked and bumped back to the top.

Excellent news. We can now all savour for a bit longer LI's spectacular own goal in attempting to defend the indefensible i.e. the 4-5-1 formation.

Please join me in the "Time to write this season off" thread, Tom, we all know you usually find quite a comfortable armchair in there.

Now now LI. There's REALLY no need to be bitter, just because you had a bit of a brainstorm last night and confused writing like you were being paid by the word, with thinking that playing a 4-5-1 formation at home in the opening game of the season was a tactically astute move

When the French came to Florida the second time, they were commanded by Laudonniere. Upon their arrival crowds of Indians gathered on the shore to welcome them. They assured Laudonniere that they bore no enmity against him. So he went ashore with twenty harquebusiers where he was met by the chief, Athore. After presents had been exchanged and promises of friendship given, the chief asked the French to go with him. This they agreed to do, though as Athore was accompanied by a great number of men, they acted with great caution.
The chief took them to the island where Ribaut had set up the stone column carved with the strange numerals 4-4-2. When the French came closer to the column, they found Indians worshipping the stone as an idol. Athore kissed the stone with the same reverence that his subjects showed him. His men also kissed the column, and they asked us to do likewise. In front of the monument lay offerings of fruits, edible and medicinal roots, jars of perfumed oils, a bow, and arrows; the stone was wreathed with flowers and boughs of the choicest trees.

Fortunately we have a manager not afraid to admit his own mistakes. Why? because he has recently got an avge Div 2 side into Div 1 (ok, the Championship), and has gained enormous respect for that. He also has a chairman who has reassured him that, because there is no dosh, he definitely will NOT be sacked if we go straight back down again. In fact, he has been told that his most important task is NOT keeping up in the so-called Championship, but building a team for 2, 3, 4 years hence.
This season WILL be long, but we needn't get too depressed if we haven't got 50 points on the board come May.
