  1. Yes, my 3-5-3 formation. I tried to laugh it off, but felt there was no coming back and stayed on the canvas.
  2. I highlighted Bentley's great performance and Cundy's efforts to snuff out Davis in the second half, as well as the emergence of Scott this season and his excellent last ditch defending. Our main problem yesterday was a lack of sharpness throughout the team, with Williams' fitness exposed. We can only account for the evidence of our own eyes.
  3. Buying Alexa for aiding the dressing room would have been a lot cheaper.
  4. 'Its a long term strategy' doesn't stand up to scrutiny if you consider the signings of Simpson and King. Please explain.
  5. Has anyone got 50p for the metre at the Mem? According to Keith Brookman on RB they've had a power surge. Comedy gold.
  6. Another cheerful post! Thank you for being a friend. Over to you Andrew...
  7. Just one shot on goal in the second half. Weimann ballooned over from Scott's FK on 90. A game to instantly forget. Midfield dominated. Poor in possession and few chances created. Bentley kept the score down with some excellent saves and Cundy impressed in the second half, snuffing out Keenan Davis.
  8. They're getting the ball down our flanks far too easily and Pring can't go to ground on Spence due to his booking. Need to double up there. Our midfield are struggling to impose themselves, meaning little for the strikers. Need to be robust in defence and see if we can nick one.
  9. The ball was last spotted in the vicinity of Mars.
  10. Darn, you beat me to it! Happy Birthday legend!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
  11. Not me. That was some of our best football at home this season and we dominated possession. Its fine margins and managing games better. I'm excited for next season. Got that naysayers.
  12. In addition to the AG8 contracts, a number of things contributed to City's downfall Dave, way before 1982. The failure to properly insure Cheesley following his retirement (from League football) in 1977 to fund his replacement. Although Garland joined in November '76, helping to save City that season, he was badly injured early in the following campaign and played few games between 1977-80. Ousting Chairman Robert Hobbs in 1977, after he invited potential new Directors to join the Board for a £25000 investment, and the subsequent costly court cases. The failure to bring through any capable talented youngsters, apart from Mabbutt, instead relying on aged players with a limited shelf life. Cooper suffered an injury early in his career and played few games. Late on Meijer, Jantuunen etc were poor replacements, as was Tony Fitzpatrick who cost £350000 and contributed a solitary goal in the forgettable 80-81 season, when we scored just 29 in 42. As a footnote Gow went to Man City in October 1980, and despite having battered knees starred in the 1981 Cup Final against Spurs, plus a further season before joining Rotherham, then Burnley. Harford was a terrific signing in the Summer of 1981, but we had to sell him after the takeover. He actually went back to Newcastle, as City either hadn't made any transfer payments, or were behind, and the Toon then sold him to Birmingham. Strange days indeed. Most peculiar Momma.
  13. Time for some Andrea True Connection Moore, Moore, Moore, How do you like it? How do you like it?
