Can remember Tony Kellow scoring for fun after Alan Ball got rid. And more recently, Ryan Hardie at Plymouth after not being given many starts here.

The Green - was always impressed by how quickly they were printed and distributed. If not the teleprinter on Grandstand, waiting for the wrestling to finish on World of Sport to go to the classified results . No assistant coaches on I-pads on the touchline

Glad you enyoyed the Milton Book(s) after my suggestion Seeing your post has reminded me to get the next book which was published in late April I also recommended the Bernie Gunther books by Phillip Kerr in your recent thread

Not a great start eh? Even the country being booed and subject to protests are 5 points ahead of us on 11 Good to see we're so popular 😁

Play to his strength, pace I don't think you can "solve" the problem. He is what he is. It's not exactly breaking news that he doesn't trap and control the ball well with players around him, but his strength is his pace when the ball is played in front of him into space where he can run at...

He needs 9 more wickets to become the 2nd highest test wicket taker of all time (Muralitheran 800/Warne 708/ Anderson 700) He's already a long way ahead of other pace bowlers (Broad 604). Hopefully he'll be selected for some of the next tests against West Indies Sri Lanka, and take 9 wickets or...

Beat me to it. That's my worry because buyers weren't exactly queuing round the block when SS bought the club. Either way, it would be good if SS could find a reliable investment partner to part-own the club.

Yep, I remember that last weekend of regular fixtures. Swansea looked like they'd won a stonewall penalty (from the highlights I saw) but the ref didn't give it. It would have put them 6th if they'd beaten Doncaster, but they drew 0-0. Can't beat a late run into the play-offs As for LR, I...

1. Charlie Adam free kick v Cardiff in the play off final 2. Luke Varney v Wolves in the Prem 3. Trevor Sinclair away at Stoke March 1993 which helped keep us up (their first home defeat of that season) 4. Keigan Parker v Yeovil in 2007 play off final 5. Jerry Yates v Portsmouth during Covid...

Whilst I generally agree on not going back to former players, I'd still take a proven 20+ L1 goal scorer back without hesitation. If we could do some sort of loan deal with Swansea for Jerry,that would be good (permanent seems unlikely given the probable fees involved). We certainly need a new...

Their grounds are only about 4 or 5 miles apart, closer than us and Fleetwood. Just had a quick Google; apparently the rivalry has been around since 1882, the biggest crowds at 50,000 while we were at our best in the 50's. The Brighton / Crystal Palace rivalry is the one that seems odd to me...

I think a bid for Grimmy is very likely, he's had a very good season. If the offer is right, I don't expect us to fend off the bid, That's fair enough, the model being to sell for profit In July 22, Grimmy signed a 3 +1 (seems like good business)

23 21 home league games (missed Stevenage and Cheltenham due to holidays) Forest at home in the Cup replay, brilliant game. Only Wigan away this season, well done to those who travelled to our away matches this season.

The Northampton keeper time-wasted from the kick off, taking over a minute for every goal kick, they came for a draw and Hubby gifted them a winner after Rhodes's headed equaliser. That said, we were shite that night. Derby just sat back and kept their shape, and caught us on the break. That...

The Running Grave by Robert Galbraith (J K Rowling), a Strike novel I usually watch a TV series after having read the books, but the Strike series was pretty good so I'm giving the new book a try It's 945 pages long, enjoying it 200 pages in. Having read this thread, I think I'll give a Ken...
