Now there's a fun challenge! How about 2014, Chopra and Eccleston, shortly after Paul Ince's sacking and in the middle of a three month winless run?

Saints make four changes today; two of those are debuts for their new January signings. Then they have us in 4 days, Newcastle again 3 days later, and back to fighting for survival 4 days after that. I think we'll be playing our best against the weakest side they could reasonably start.

Absolutely. I remember always being excited to listen to Ollie's pre-match interview on the old website. Except for a brief period with Ince, there hasn't been a manger since who I actually wanted to hear interviewed, until now. It's a nice feeling, and gives us some optimism.

A better Everton analogy would be when they brought in Allardyce halfway through the season to keep them up, which he did (and then some). Difference here is that Everton pretended like it would maybe be a long term appointment, whereas BFC have given McCarthy a short term contract with the...

And fans will turn on their favorite player after two bad matches. Bowler's farewell statement is something we almost never see, that's why it's so well appreciated.

16 shots, 5 on target, 1.5 xG. Call it bad luck or poor finishing, but we created chances.

Are we gonna come up against any sides in the Championship who play the way Barrow played last night? Our problem was not being able to break down and finish against a team who were playing for the draw. Disappointing to lose, and maybe the fact that this was a different kind of match than...
