Tyrone Shoelaces

Their equaliser was coming for 20 minutes before it actually arrived. It was more down to their poor finishing than anything else that it took so long.

I used to have that 45 on the old “ London “ label. Worth a few bob now. Good “ B” side as well in “ Who’s Loving You “. Chuck Berry - Around And Around

I agree, as I said the other day - the football teams will out football us and the ale house teams will out fight us. I’d take where we are now as a finishing position if we can’t seriously strengthen the team in January. When did we last sign a player that immediately impacted on our fortunes in a positive way ?

What game is Leonard’s game Chaddy ? I’m at a loss to see what he brings to the table.

I’m with you on the “ excitement quotient “ on display yesterday. I find our lack of a cutting edge extremely frustrating to watch. The short passing around the edge of the box that inevitably breaks down when a defender just has to get a foot in gets old pretty quickly. The constantly playing in front of teams and rarely pulling them out of shape is hard to watch. Plus I find the fact that once we go behind the ref could blow up for full time right away is soul destroying. I wonder if I ever would have become a fan if this was what football was like when I first started watching years ago. I also wonder how many “ stay aways “ will have been enthused enough to come back for more after yesterday. Not many I suspect. Nothing I saw yesterday made me think “ Let’s try and get a ticket for the Huddersfield game “. Win your home games and attendances will rise. Lose most of them and attendances will fall. It doesn’t really matter what you do away from home. That’s how football works I’m afraid.

10/10

Nail hit firmly on the head. Players have come and gone, managers have come and gone, behind the scenes jobsworths have come and gone. The same malaise/lack of fighting spirit/ weak mentality remains. The one factor that has been at the club in all that time is the “ owners “.

We dominated the first half, they dominated the second half. We were walking at the end, our legs had gone. Once they equalised quite a few people around me got up and left. I expect they knew what was coming. I said to my grandson at halftime. “ If we’re going to get anything out of this game we’re going to have to score again “.

How bad must Telalovic be not to get on yesterday. We know Leonard isn’t ready yet.

If anybody was fouled in that tackle it was Boly. The ref’s eyes must have been painted on. The games gone.

What would Dougie or Shearer have got in some games if he was watching, 20/10 ? In his world you only have to put the shirt on to get a 6.

Any opposing manager will be telling his players “ Don’t bother what the score is, keep plugging away and these will fold “. Starting at Huddersfield on Boxing Day.

Brian Clough once said “ Nobody can lose you a game quicker than your goalkeeper, so buy the best one you can afford. “ Leo also badly fumbled one that just squirmed past the post in the second half. For a second I thought it was in.

Even they don’t know.

My take on the “ optimum thread “ - maybe we won’t go down this season.

He might be ok played right up front with another striker but out wide left ? Not for me.

It tells it’s own story.

Definitely. We play in front of teams all the time. The one time we got around the side of Watford we scored.

In the first half Siggy was out wide left more often than not. Right in front of me actually. I agree about us not having a pop. We were trying to score the perfect goal. They had a pop from distance twice and got lucky twice.

Bobby Bland - Turn On Your Lovelight

Yeah, I saw that. That was a real limp.

We need to get a goal threat from somewhere. This one up front isn’t the answer. Carry on like this and the better footballing teams will out football us and the ale house teams will out battle us. Maybe a move to 4-4-2 and be a bit more direct until we get a full compliment of players back.

Of course it’s not his fault. If Gally, Dolan and Hedges were fit he wouldn’t even be on the bench.
