Two games coming up in South Wales over the next few weeks, never easy places to go as a player or a fan. If we can take 4 points from those 2 game I'd be extremely happy.

Cardiff 1 Rovers 2

Gutted - since moving to Pembrokeshire these two games were my two for the season - now behind closed doors 😒

Longer. 

In terms of 5 clean sheets

 

 

How I remember that 15 game run - 14W 1D and only 4 conceded. My favourite was away at Chesterfield - one of our promotion rivals if I'm correct. Went 1-nil up and everybody knew that was that. Jim Arnold, Jim Branagan, Mick Rathbone, Keeley and Faz - how good were they once they'd gelled? Seven 1-0 wins in those 14 - must have been so demoralising for the opposition - rarelyy hammered but, if they went behind, little chance of getting back at us.

How we could do with a defence like the one Kendall created! In the promotion season you always felt like one goal was enough...rather than the three or four we currently seem to need!!

Kevin Davies takes some beating but a few other worth a mention

Barry Ferguson for crying back off to Scotland because basically he wasn’t as good as he Souness or us thought 

Matty Holmes , completely the wrong signing for a team that’s just won the league sent out all the wrong messages 

Danny Murphy , possibly the most disappointing signing of all time 

Bradley Orr , complete twat sorry for language but the word fits him perfectly 

 

The Matty Holmes one always felt like a kick in the teeth - a top-class centre-half and creative midfielder were all we really lacked at that time. Would have made us much more competitive in Europe and helped build on the initial success. Instead we got - at best - a squad backup player.

With Andrews, I suppose it was a time when the fans had high expectations and he was a lower league journeyman of the type we hadn’t really seen as a mainstay  (oh but we soon would!) of our side for years.

He’d be like the second coming with the Rovers-Twitterati now. ‘Look at the km covered’’, ‘he made 23 ball recoveries this month’. 

I guess some of those fans had forgotten SuperAtko - a classic lower league journeyman miraculously turned into a Premiership winning midfielder by Kenny and Ray.

We were in the Prem at the time - he was awful for Rovers. Fabulous L1 player though, I'm sure. 

Always thought the barracking of Andrews was well over-the-top. He never hid and always tried his best. Not his fault his manager over-promoted him. Compared to the likes of Murphy, Ferguson (could have been good for us with any effort!!), Best and the rest Andrews doesn't even come close!

A pal of mine who was a bit of a floating football fan was at that game, he never went on’t Turf again.

Went with my Dad. On the Beehole End a bloke in front of us went through a full bottle of whisky before kick-off and then laid down on the terrace and slept through most of the game. Also there were young kids (looked 12/13) running around with no parents visible!! Was a midweek game if I remember. Absolute carnage when they chased the Burnley fans out of the Longside and onto the pitch.
