Yes but that wasn’t in any way, shape, or form a “ tackle “.

I said that before the game. Ayala would have kept their centre forward quiet and Lenihan couldn’t have been any worse the JRC.

I’d have put Davenport in for Travis in and left that part of the team as it was. I’d have given some thought to leaving Lenihan at right back and bringing Ayala in.

Of course, you’d be foolish not to follow suit with the rest of them.

We need to change the rules. The Aussies only get one innings and we get two. The Aussies have to bat with their bats the other way up. We used to do that if there was a dispute wether somebody was out or not. The batsman had to face three balls using the bat handle to keep the ball out ! Anybody else do that ?

I think we’d know by now if that was the case.

We kept that quiet.

Yes indeed, it’s a long while since he posted. I sincerely hope the Covid didn’t get him.

I reserve my excitement for when they’re out on the pitch performing.

Nobodies rubbishing him. I’m just saying let’s see him kick a ball before we decide he’s the next Damien Duff. He could be the the next Keith Tracey.

You should know by now. We like to big our signings up without actually seeing them kick a ball first. It makes them feel at home. It’s what we do. Go back and look at the posts when we signed Gallagher for the second time.

Exactly my view Tony, a very frustrating performance to watch. Too many forward players were completely off their game. Some people say “ Quit moaning, we won didn’t we ? “ Well I say “ We’ve played better than that and lost this season “. Play like that at Hull on Wednesday and we won’t be so lucky. We‘re crying out for a midfield player that can give Buckley and Travis a break when they’ll not playing well.

Or the 61-62 season - we played on March 24, 28, 30. April 7, 10, 14, 17, 20, 21, 23, 26, 28. Or the big freeze season 62-63 - March 25, 29. April 2, 6, 12, 13, 15, 20, 23, 27. May 1, 4, 13, 20. 65-66 season was - April 8, 9, 12, 16, 23, 30. May 2, 4, 7, 9.

I’d take that now. It’s the best position short of automatic promotion.

Especially if he brings his elephants.

If he’s got/had back trouble I’m not surprised.

The new Chapman ?

He’ll to be careful in English football, it’s rapidly becoming almost a non contact sport.

I know football isn’t like the normal business world but that sale seems to be in a league of it’s own.

We’ve all complained for years about Mowbray chopping and changing the team and our way of playing over years. At last we now have a settled system. The down side of that is guys playing every game can get jaded, especially in this division with 46 games. It can be very demanding on players in the “engine room” of the team. We could do with somebody to give Travis, Rothwell, Buckley a break now and again.

We definitely need more options in the attacking midfield role.

I think it’s about height and heading ability in a team with a lot of players who aren’t good headers of the ball.

Sounds like Garlick knew what he was doing to me.

What’s this “ Operation Save Big Dog “ I’ve been reading about in the paper today. Is he in danger of being fired for lying to the board ?
