It is. It leaves "Going forward" which was the subject of a business-speak bollox thread a while ago.

Glad to help.

I think we'll be alright tomorrow... What are we all thinking team wise?

My guess would be:

Lonergan
McNaughton - Mills - Ream - Moxey
Spearing - Medo
Feeney - Danns - Chungy
Beckford

Go with one up top for an away game and try to counter attack (which is actually when we tended to look most dangerous last season)... I think Medo and Spearing are a bit too similar but they're also two of our best players, and I'd like to see Feeney and Chungy play and possibly swap sides at times (it's better than having Pratley start...). I think we'll see Wilkinson come on at some point possibly to take it to a 4-4-2 but I think packing the midfield and looking for space on the counter is our best bet.

Ah OK, thanks. So he meant he thought there should be a comma after 'surprise'. Now I'm with it.

I don't think it'll be far off that. Possibly Hall for Feney or Trotter for Medo.

Not necessarily. Top pedantry btw.

:D, not that it extends as far as being able to spell Feeney, like.

And yes necessarily. 'Going forward' is not a sentence. Unless your not necessarily was aimed at 'Now I'm with it', in which case you may well be correct. It's been a sloooow morning.

The 'joke' was that 'Going forward' was the 'surprise'. Really wish I hadn't bothered now. It was amusing in my head.

So, Bobo's "glad to help" was premature!

Do you really need a fullstop after a smiley? A smiley isn't really a sentence, is it? :wink:

Surely a 'full' stop can't be a split anything?!

I'll be chuffed if we look compact at the back and we've moved on from last years problem where teams were driving a coach and horses through the centre of our back line
