Costero, remind me which thread I'm getting back to you on (politics). I can't find it. Not now of course. Now it's time to celebrate!that - was an absolute f***ing masterclass in how to deal with a shitehouse johnny big bo77ocks team.
The only thing I've ever been wrong about was Jamie Vardy. Since then, 100% success rate.You tell us all sorts of things Kurt and yes, we concede, that occasionally you are indeed actually right.
do big teams require a taller keeper ????Not tall enough for the big teams.
But there also lies our problem6 points taken from:
Peterborough
Sunderland
Pompey
4 points from:
Hull
Oxford
Unbelievable record against the top 7/8.
Fucktuate!We fluctuate.
You actually made me laugh out loud on that one Kurt. That's either an admirably high success rate or a well honed selective memoryThe only thing I've ever been wrong about was Jamie Vardy. Since then, 100% success rate.
No need for sarcasm. It's the way it works.do big teams require a taller keeper ????
is this a new thing thatās just come in ????
It has certainly been a problem over the course of this season.But there also lies our problem
We seem.to do it against the 'bigger' teams yet struggle to break down those that play us looking for a draw

It was definitely a horrible first half and I'd add Thorniley to that, that block near the end was out of this world. He appeared from nowhere as Mcgeady was pulling the trigger.I wasn't happy with the first half, but I suppose it was a means to an end.
A fantastic result and special praise for Maxwell, Ballard, Ward and Kaikai.
Unfortunately only the one point from Lincoln. Who, we look like meeting at some point if we make the playoffs6 points taken from:

Ok will doCostero, remind me which thread I'm getting back to you on (politics). I can't find it. Not now of course. Now it's time to celebrate!
True, first game was so early in the season its hard to judge compared to now though, and the second game we should have won by about 4 bloody goals!Unfortunately only the one point from Lincoln. Who, we look like meeting at some point if we make the playoffs
It gets better the more you watch it, for all the talk of boring football goal of the season will be a tough one to win this year been some corkersSunderland vs Blackpool 0-[1], Kaikai 56'

Apologies didn't see you posted, I just found it then going through the Sunderland forum reading their despair and posted it to my twitter. Figured I'd post it here as well but didn't see your post!Sunderland vs Blackpool 0-[1], Kaikai 56'

Certainly not unbeatable IMO!
Don't gloat too soon, we may get them in the play-offs, beat 'em there then we can gloat.Something I mentioned the last time we beat Sunderland..
But I wonder how that Sunderland fan is doing who after we beat Peterborough, claimed they don't need to worry about us as they have 'the best squad in League One' and 'are going up automatically'.
Cheers for the 6 points in 10 days!
I'm only gloating in reference to that one bloke who completely dismissed playing us twice in 10 days as a threat.Don't gloat too soon, we may get them in the play-offs, beat 'em there then we can gloat.
No apology needed. Could watch it until the cows come home.Apologies didn't see you posted, I just found it then going through the Sunderland forum reading their despair and posted it to my twitter. Figured I'd post it here as well but didn't see your post!
Great they get that multi-cam isn't it, we've missed seeing goals from different angles!
Yep, bloody laugh a minute Appleton.Unfortunately only the one point from Lincoln. Who, we look like meeting at some point if we make the playoffs
1st time I've seen it properly as I went mad & missed the replay. What a strikeGreat seeing it from that last angle!
As Cloughie once said"never fall in love with a short goalkeeper" Fantastic tonight well done Maxwell!Not tall enough for the big teams.
Not half! I could've sworn that ball to the right of the goal near the end was going in. Then Thorniley got in the way. Phew!There is some heart and guts in this team, and squad thatās for certain.
They may not win games the easy way, but they take some bloody beating.
He's an excellent keeper. His positioning is brilliant. That and awareness / reading of the game are, for me, the things that single him out. At just over 6 ft he's tall enough.Not tall enough for the big teams.
Yes well done Maxie. Of course, Clough had Les Green in his Derby team. One of the shortest keepers ever.As Cloughie once said"never fall in love with a short goalkeeper" Fantastic tonight well done Maxwell!
I'm not disagreeing. I wasn't saying Maxwell's not tall enough. I'm just thinking aloud how the owners of top clubs see it.He's an excellent keeper. His positioning is brilliant.

All time fav keeper is Steve.Gordon Banks was 6ft. So is Stevie Banks.

Replying to my own post here. NC did make changes but not to the extent I thought necessary before the match. All I can say is that he got this completely right and we have the makings of an outstanding Head Coach here. All he needs is more experience. By this time next year we could be hanging on to him in the face of high demand for his services. In the meantime I'm optimistic that he can get this club into the Championship, anf if we do make the play offs there will be an opportunity for players to rest and recharge their batteries.Will depend on the team put out. I know I've said this before, but they are tired from all the recent fixtures. NC needs to squad rotate, otherwise little will have changed from Saturday. If that turns out to be a sacrifice for this game, so be it - at least the squad will be fresh for Saturday. Stewart apparently is back in contention too, so let's give him a start alongside Gabriel, Ekpiteta, Husband, Robson. and Mitchell Over half a "new" team there to build around.
Disagree we took the sting out of Sunderland in that first half, and they only looked like scoring when we were playi g the land of the giants towards the end.It was definitely a horrible first half and I'd add Thorniley to that, that block near the end was out of this world. He appeared from nowhere as Mcgeady was pulling the trigger.
No, I'm not saying we played really badly, I'm saying it was a dire watch as a spectacle. We didn't have it going on going forward at all though we did work very hard, keep good shape and gradually get control.Disagree we took the sting out of Sunderland in that first half, and they only looked like scoring when we were playi g the land of the giants towards the end.
We really need a Wes Hoolahan and hopefully are searching the leagues for one now. We are organised but lack the ability to unlock defences.No, I'm not saying we played really badly, I'm saying it was a dire watch as a spectacle.

I rarely disagree with you but I do on this and said so at half time. No the 1st half wasn't free flowing, attacking football with lots of goals.No, I'm not saying we played really badly, I'm saying it was a dire watch as a spectacle.
