Poor. If Ogbeta had gone on the outside and put a cross in that doesn’t happen btw. I too am delighted you came back Insaney, because the site needs its regulars and supporters. All these theories have an element of Aunt Fanny/Uncle Tommy about them by containing the word "if". Wise after the event...

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

It'll very likely be a repeat of lately with an all out bombarding of our box, goal kicks, long throws and the rest of the "how to beat Bolton" manual. I'm expecting a degree of bully boy tactics so we need to avoid injury as a must, but priority has to be win at all costs. We need to get two ahead ...

Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

With four losses and a draw in the last five, and propping up the league, Port Vale have absolutely nothing to lose. All the more reason for keeping things in proportion' We can be sympathetic with their problems any time but tomorrow, when we need to be realistic , keep things in proportion and be ...

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

If you left a grandchild an Olympic bronze medal you had won, would they be immensely proud and see you as the third best in the world, or think if only you'd tried a bit harder you could have won gold. Sadly, too many think the latter these days. This reflects in seeing Ian Evatt as getting praise....

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

Jerome has been excellent these last few weeks. Has done 100% of the job asked of him, and seems to be the consumate professional. This for me too, CJ is my idea o a total front liner. He's a big muscular, tough lad who will fight for the ball and deceptively quick with it. A couple of goals and he...

Re: The Nostradamus file....

Trying to keep my head off what might have been, I'll be really sorry if we don't retain Jon-Bod at transfer time. He's the model of the older time centre forward and I'd dearly love him to be a bit younger and fitter. I still reckon he's worth keeping on the books if it's possible. He's fitted into...

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

What position did Evatt play tonight? Did he make bad passes, failed to score obvious chances or give the ball away? Managers often cop the flack for the workers faults. Not pitch-fork and bedsheet time just yet. Keep the Faith.

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

No point scoring two goals and not winning in this league.. Posts, near misses and bad refs are all of no account if we get scored against. "Should have and might have" are just literal language terms. I'll get over it, but I feel sick. Not a Championship display against a team placed 18th in the Le...

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

Is this a case of character theft? Surely this isn't Bolton Wanderers. We're getting bullied and looking like we've never played before. Trouble is, we rely on coming back instead of bossing it. How many offsides does it take to make us see they're playing for it? Where's DadBod, is he injured? I th...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

We take care of our business is all I ask. Every game will take a massive effort. I have been around the block too long to believe we "should" win 3-0 or whatever... The ball is round and games unpredictable. You can dominate and lose. That's why we love the game. Full of surprises. All I ask is th...

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

It's going to be a bit heavy going after all this rain and an energy sapping match only three days ago, so let's hope we can play this one at a bit less frantic pace. Ideally, get a couple in front and not be fighting uphill, which we seem to be doing too often. We really are a good side with classy...

Re: Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.

I duplicated the match thread title then deleted both in error. My only point to make was for caution against the Shrews. It's all too easy to stand on a banana skin as Posh found out at Oxford, so keep the size tens on the pedal lads. As Auntie Doris once said " Whatever will be, will be; the futur...
