They went up two years ago having spent virtually nothing. They budgeted sensibly and might easily have stayed up last year. They lost some key players, but have only invested according to their means this year. They have an excellent manager and good team spirit and a loyal fan base. They come...
I am hoping for a great opening with two goals to the good guys within half an hour (Knocky and Skalak). Inevitably Middlesborough will come back at us after half time, perhaps scoring with about 30 minutes to go. We then hold on under pressure until there is 7 minutes of added time. The ball...
