We’re confused “ Quick “ with “ Fast “. Quick is over 10 or 15 yards, Fast is over 30 to 40 plus yards. I used to go watching my rugby league team doing sprint training and you’d get the little scrum half or hooker types like Dolan in physique leaving the big forwards for dead over 15-20 yards but by 50 yards the forwards were passing them. Of course the plan is for the little quick guys to make the breaks then hand the ball over to the forwards. It’s not quite the same in football but you need to get the little quick guys in possession nearer to the goals and not in our half.

I’d probably have Hedges in for Dolan and Dolan in for Leonard. I’d have Leonard on the bench though.

Bollocks. That’s a blow.

Imagine a striker having to be told to get himself in to the box ! Crazy.

I’m glad that sly bastard Lockyer got a red card yesterday. He should have had one for the foul on Gallagher that left him in hospital bringing up blood. An elbow to the upper torso/throat when the ball was on the other side of the pitch 40 yards away. Coward. There was another really bad one that put Edun out for about 6 weeks. Both only got yellow cards. They’d have been worse yesterday if Jones had have still been there.

A New England - Billy Bragg

I wouldn’t be offering him that sort of money at all. That’ll get us two or three good players who’ll contribute more than BBD.

Why does it take until half time for things to change ? Where are the leaders out on the pitch ?

It was a mistake letting Markanday go before we got a replacement in. He was on the bench at Aberdeen yesterday. Hirst not impressing at Ipswich apparently.

David John And The Mood - Bring It To Jerome. Good local band from Preston, very much in the Stones style.

What you really mean is - “ How much have Venkies let walk out of the door because they were too stubborn to sell ? “ They are our “ added degree of difficulty “ and whilst they are running the club nothing will change football wise. None of it will ever make any sense. Not selling BBD makes about as much sense as signing him in the first place.

There was a difference with the players you mention back then - at least we got a several good seasons out of them before getting massive fees. Now they are whisked away at the first sign of star ability for a knock down price.

I think Carter is better at centre half than right back. JDT will have to man up and rest Ayala, play Carter and Hyam in the centre, and bring in Brittain at right back.

If we play more in our opponents half the “ shite “ won’t be as obvious.

Then he had a very average time at Big Club, and did nothing back at Southampton. So Mowbray felt fit to bet the ranch on him. The weakest big strapping lad I’ve ever seen.

Who Knows Where The Time Goes - Fairport Convention

The issue I have with the way we are playing is that it doesn’t suit the skill set ( or lack of ) of the players. We look like a fish riding a bike at times.

You don’t rate Travis at all yet you expect some club to pay a decent fee for him ? Surely some mistake there.
