Just what I was thinking . Bees got goals , Lyons and Trybull got on , Joseph and Apter got a stretch , 2 goals for 0 goals against . All done away from home and against one of the main promotion fancied teams . Derby had 30, 000 in to watch them on Saturday!
Hopefully no knocks and that's as near perfect a meaningless cup match as it's possible to get
 
Any initial thought on Joseph?

Clearly early days and his first official minutes so that has to be taken into account, but sometimes you cam see quality in touches, movement etc?

I enjoyed his commentary actually . Better than all the decibel shouty types. Plus he's pretty humourous and definitely knows his football and talks a lot of sense .
Plus which we were on the way to being non league when Mr Bowyer, against all the odds not only kept us up but got us promoted .
Exciting football Ollie, survival football Bowyer

I’m with you, I thought his commentary was really good and insightful. He doesn’t do inflections…so what.
 
Yeah I definitely like Connolly better in the middle. Right-back in a back four or right wingback in a pinch - left wingback almost never for me!

If it wasn’t for the Stains making his working life too difficult, GB might still be our manager... and we would be in a far better position for that. However, we can’t change the past and I wish him well. A really good bloke. I hope that he and Critchley talk BFC from time to time.

Couldn't take Junior Bent seriously after attending a Tango's Junior Seasiders Xmas party with my 10 year old daughter, and she was taller than him.

Must try and dig out the photo...

Still traumatised by the memory of Worthington playing Bent as a target man and hoofing balls up to him … he managed in the Premier League, remember…

Yes but it's bizarre, league games on weeknights are available, whoever is going generally goes, having thousands more paying a fiver would probably make more than the amount who choose not to go because it's streamed.

Think it’s going to be sorted under the new TV deal next season

A lot of these people who criticise Beesley wouldn't have a word said against Madine, a centre forward who rarely scored or assisted and couldn't keep up in open play because he couldn't run, and often got involved in unnecessary vendettas leading to bookings and sending offs. And he was injured a lot.
I'll take Beesley over the goal machine every time!!

What is striking about your post is the timing of it. It's a cast iron certainty that you would not have made it prior to Beesley getting his two goals last night. Remind me when you last had anything to say about Beesley. Easy to post posts like yours after the event eh!
