I still can't work out what the hell went wrong. Feels like we were mugged or did we mug ourselves?
Countless off sides - most of which were off side -crosses with no one getting far post (or which went to the keeper near post) - lots of great passes sprayed about - and they had one shot. And...
Me too. It was a case of leave early or not go at all. Understanding friends who are all happy to delay the event but I've got to do my bit. I never leave early - this will be very very hard.
Gus will not drop Barnes. We need him to play because Dobbie is not a target man. I think he'll leave Ashley up front and bring Dobbie in for CMS but play him behind Barnes shuffling between midfield and front line. So Orlandi might lose his place. Other changes will be for squad rotation...
Saw brief highlights of the crawley league cup game last night. I am sure I heard a bell ringing after each goal. Shirley not? Worse than atmosphere crushing drums?
Has a score draw all over it. 2-2 (although on paper we should gub them, football - and years of following the albion - teaches us to expect the unexpected)
Using my patent "bossed the game" index (where 0 is awarded for a deserved defeat, 1 for a game that could have gone either way and 2 for a deserved win):
Last season:
1 Doncaster - late winner
1 Portsmouth - won by odd goal and they missed a pen
2 Cardiff - 3-1 and played well
1 Blackpool -...
A lot of people seem to be a little cagey about our current position and quote last season (7 games, 16 points and then an implosion) as the reason to be cautious. Of course they are correct about the points total but I think it's worth looking at the goal difference too.
Generally I believe...
I touched Brett Mendoza's bottom to try to distract him whilst he was being photographed with Gully's Girls at the Amex last week. The fact that I patted him and not a GG means that I suppose I must be gay. I'd better tell my wife and kids.
You'd expect more draws to shake out the teams at the top. It does seem odd that so many sides just seem to keep on winning. Last year there was a five point spread across the top five - this year there is just one point.
Interesting story and so on, but how is "Dale" a helpful thread title? I thought it might be about Rochdale. Not a pop at you but a plea to everyone - have a think about your thread titles please.
Is that true? If so I would be delighted. When did the change happen? (just seen earlier reply. I'll investigate this).
