I’ll be surprised if they both play 90 minutes.

Probably.

That’s why I smile when people try to tell me what a great spirit we have in the camp. If that was correct things like that wouldn’t be happening and also we’d be able to come back when we go behind just now and again. Normally when we go behind in a game it’s game over.

Five at the back again. I thought that had been well and truly found out by our opponents.

Gladwin was another strange one.

Who are they ?

Zeefuik, Giles, Brown, the kid from Spurs. None of those have set the world on fire. Giles looks half decent in his rightful position.

The ground is fine, it’s the ambition at the club that is too small.

I thought we’d no chance of automatic promotion and a 50/50 chance of making the play offs. I think I said so at the time. There’s an aura around teams that go up and at no point did we have that. Forest have that aura.

That Zeefuick’s been a great signing. I can remember one long run in one of his earlier games and that’s it. Nada.

There are no floodlights either.

If I were Blackpool’s manager I’d have him up against the weakest link, whoever that is.

I see we’ve appointed a new “ commercial partnerships manager “ in Francis Fielding. She was involved on the commercial side at Rochdale AFC. Mrs Shoelaces knows her from working at the stadium ( Crown Oil Arena alias Spotland ) and thinks she’s a good appointment.

I can only speak for myself but if that happens you couldn’t give me a ticket.

Brown versus Bowler ? That should be interesting.

Indeed, was it Hans Seger who had a nightmare at just the right time for Everton.

“ Venkies “ and “ informed decision “ shouldn’t be in the same sentence.

I can’t personally recall a team falling away so badly in the past although it must have happened.

He might tell them but it’s pretty obvious they’re no longer listening.

The fact that none of the 5 players he signed to help us gain promotion in January has contributed in any meaningful way tells me all I need to know. That takes some doing when you think about it. Thanks for coming Tony but off you pop. You can go now for me.

The similarities between Lampard’s Everton team and Kiddo’s “ rubber dinghy men “ Rovers team are obvious.

Probably because he didn’t play enough games at Div 3 level. Really, ability wise there was no comparison. Bellamy beat top level teams on his own.

Rhodes a more natural goalscorer than Bellamy ? Err not really.

The penalty taker looks like Tommy Gemmell.

Another dull 1-1.
