Mr Popodopolous Posted December 6, 2021 Share Posted December 6, 2021 It's not a top side or even a decent sized PL side, it's not a local derby, it's not vs a Lower League side or non League side that we'd be likely to beat. Yet it's a game we'd be likely to lose too. Worst of all worlds? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Alvechurch manager's final team talk was simply inspirational... "By the end the manager, Rhys Davies, was really struggling with his team talks. We already knew everything about each other. There was nothing to say other than just go on the pitch and scrap. The manager was a motivator rather than a football brain if you like, and in the end he was just talking about character. He started using two words that I still remember. He'd say: "If you're going to win this you're going to need tonk and bottle." To this day I've got no idea what "tonk and bottle" means. It wasn't refined football chat." 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
