Th'owd codger (not you TD :D) appears to have forgotten to do this, but it seems to be about time:

Thirteen games left, thirty-nine points on offer, seventy-five points achievable.

I don't see what the problem is.

I had to look that up. Not that I'm aware, though I feel I could have been.

20 Dec 97 we lost 2-0 with JFH scoring the late second, first scored by some bloke you'd have to be a Leeds fan to remember.

We've only lost once there since. Just once in a whole millennium! so far

Seems like Dougie might be looking to Trotter Independent Trading to have a replacement ready for Pratley. He thinks the lad's ready to step up and fill the gap left by the unfortunate Darren. Will be handy if he's right.

Well ... sort of. Though what I saw of him last week Trotter's a huge juggernaut of a man and quite different from Pratley.

One of last week's delights was seeing Danns come back on. I hope to God he's the starter tomorrow.

From what I've seen of Trotter he makes Shefki Kuqi look like a ballerina.

Not the most mobile and coordinated is he?!

Hardly a strength of D-Pratz either, tbf.

I expect a proper pounding tomorrow. To be roughly reamed in such a humiliating manner it'll make my eyes water.

Enough of my Saturday night plans though. As for the game, I think we'll get beaten.

The fridge is bare. I'm hoping the cider fairy will restock it at some point before 1pm tomorrow.

Tough one for Dougie this. If, like me, you're bobbins at football manager, you'll know what it's like when you stumble across a successful tactic and then your next game is something slightly different. Do you stick or twist? If he goes 4 4 2 again and we lose, he'll look as naive and gung ho as Coyle. He goes 4 5 1 and it's negative old Meggo again.

It's surely possible to change when something isn't working?

I just want him to be positive. Not to worry about Leeds more than have them worry about us.

Not to spend too much time thinking only about survival.

The midfield last week forced errors from Blackburn. They closed them down and they won almost every 'second ball'. There was high energy. Fck ... we even left a player up at corners.

If we do all that and it doesn't come off it's a site better than not trying it ... and it not coming off, which we've had for 90% of the season.

That's where I'm at. If we get gubbed 4-0 though, I reserve the right to criticise him for being naive and not defensive enough :wink:

Oh, of course. Goes without saying.
