FA Cup winners when I first started going in the 1960’s - Wolves, Spurs, Spurs, Man Utd, West Ham, Liverpool, Everton, Spurs, West Brom, Man City. Now it’ll be one from about 5 teams. There’s not much fun in aiming to be fourth from the bottom every year.

He’s coming back from a serious injury. We haven’t got room in the treatment room for another one.

It’s like watching another game being played.

No. But it wouldn’t have made any difference. If it was coats down on the local rec I’d still be bursting a gut to win. It’s a matter of personal pride. If you haven’t got that find something to do, like bird watching etc.

I was looking at the Prem table this morning. The bottom eight teams have played 46 games and have won 4.

I never played in a game that had nothing on it, as far as I was concerned anyway.

Them - Here Comes The Night

More like 3,136.

They’ll know they’ve been in a game there for sure.

That must be the shortest team we’ve ever fielded.

When we have players as good as they have I’ll agree with you. As it is a left footed journeyman player like Hedges would be better off playing to his strengths.

Once in all the time he’s been here and that makes it alright ? Only in Chaddyworld.

Plus he’s handicapped by having to play on the right when he favours his left foot most of the time. Even the dogs in the street know he’s either going to pass inside or come inside himself. He never gets around the side of opponents.

We’re making the players fit into the system instead of having a system that suits the players we have. We all love Sammy but the way we are set up at the moment - he ( or to be more accurate, whoever plays that role ) is part of the problem. The same would apply if Dack was playing there.

Like Dolan’s miss the other day. It was genuinely harder to head the ball wide than it was to head the ball in to goal.

It was great to watch in 1964 but times have changed.

Tronstad or Travis with Wharton, it won’t make any difference. They’ll still be out numbered. In fact I don’t think Tronstad is as good as Travis.

Any two in midfield will get over run by a three. We’re asking him to play a game he’s not suited for. Get two grafters in midfield and let him be the playmaker.

Every time they’ve meddled they’ve got it wrong. How you can do that is a bit of a mystery to me. Even if they’d have tossed a coin they’d have got some of the decisions right. My view - their plan is to gradually wear the fan base down to the point that when they finally pull the plug nothing will happen.

The players at the very top are there primarily because they can make instant decisions at pace under pressure and get them right 99% of the time. It’s no good being skilful on the ball etc if your decision making is crap. However some blames lies with the coaching staff. The top managers drill into their players how to deal with certain situations that they will encounter in a game over and over and over again. Do we do that ?

When I watched his “ highlights “ video on here before he actually arrived all it consisted of was him joining in with attacks, making runs with the ball, crossing and shooting etc. You could think we were signing a midfield player not a full back. Not one example of good defensive play. There’s usually a reason for that.

That’s why letting Buckley got out on loan was an horrendous mistake.
