An afternoon full of surprises at Lewes yesterday. Not the result, which was the usual 1-0 defeat at home, but a first half that had FOURTEEN minutes of injury time (two nasty-looking stretcher jobs), an ill-advised giant Burton flag proudly boasting YELLOW ARMY 
and THAT H Block steward frog-marching a fan out of the Dripping Pan with all four limbs intact. Blimey! He must be going soft in his old age!
Somebody who is not going soft in his old age (32) is Danny Cullip. Indeed he has somehow acquired a full head of black hair since his Albion days
Still looking WELL up for it, still bossing the back four. OK, the back four at Lewes have not got the skill to respond, as testified by a goal difference of minus 22, but that’s hardly Danny’s fault. The best he could hope for yesterday was to lead by example, fire in his belly, heart on his sleeve, patting oppo strikers on the head, winding them up, nagging the referee after a dodgy penalty decision til the inevitable yellow card, then nagging him again as they went off at half-time. The man’s a natural leader, and surely still has a couple of good seasons left in him. Seems a criminal waste to be playing them out at the sinking ship that is Lewes.
The Albion could do FAR worse than get Danny Cullip back in. OK, he’s keen on doing his coaching badges but surely something could be worked out on that front. Seems like a match made in heaven; Lewes could definitely do with the money, and we could do with a player with a heart the size of a planet. IMHO, like.
