Re: Will Carrot Top top Carrott?
I might be old-fashioned in this view - but I still reckon a striker's main job is scoring goals - and your striker SHOULD be the first person you turn to to take a penalty... And wear a number 9 on his back and have proper, screw-in studs on his boots? :wink: My advanced, 21st century, opta-statif...

Re: Nolan
In his last 5 seasons (3 Prem, 2 Champo) he's got 58 league goals in 173 games. That's as near as damn it 1 in 3. I like Mavies, though think he can play deeper as Jimmy Philips had him; I like Chungy, particularly in that role, but none of our players, strikers included are lilely to get near 1 in...

Re: Nolan
He's a one position player. And in his time/on his day one of the very best in English football in that role. Unfortunately, his lack of mobility up and down the pitch means, when he isn't getting into the box and scoring goals, the game often passes him by. He was great for us, but then faded. He's...

Re: Will Carrot Top top Carrott?
To be fair to the non-technical Cravies he does have a good record . Maybe rush of blood time or even that he'd not long come on but I was surprised at the miss when it was him taking it. I guess it all gets sorted out in training and its been a busy week. In the end no harm done ... thankfully. Ta...

Re: Lennon announced on Offish site
I'm impressed by the plan to get the players staying in a hotel together the night before every game (I think he says home games as well as away games?) This ought to keep them in line, and get them focused on the job in hand (and may also be good for team spirit). Sound thinking. Hope it makes a d...

Commons (or Brown!) aside I'm hoping we stay well away from players in the SPL. Undoubtedly there's some good uns in there, but I recall Strachan's time at Middlesboro when he bought a shedload down with him. Most of whom failed miserably he seems to have learned his lesson - and is now packing the...
