I'd seen the comments about his possible defensive frailty just after we'd signed him. In pre-season, where we played three at the back, he looked lost, without any innate defensive positioning sense. However we're now playing with a back four and utilising his very effective attacking play...

You'd think after spending the last 2000 years protecting them from the marauding Welsh hordes that they'd be more appreciative. Especially from southerners whose track record against invaders from the continent is pretty poor. :)

I'd like to re-iterate that comment on Darlington fans. That was a tremendous gesture to raise the amount they did towards the fundraiser. To me it was a cracking game, at least in part because of the way we played with ten men for an hour. Darlington contributed by being attack minded: they...

To be fair (if possible considering his overall performance) to the referee, it was the linesman who flagged for the foul - and was the one responsible. If the ref accepts that the linesman was best placed to see (and the linesman was much closer to the action), then he had little option as...

Quite possibly, it's often the way of things :bg:. Have you got a new manager lined up yet?

After over sixty years supporting them I've learnt to accept the down periods and enjoy the up ones. I'll leave the 'end of the world is nigh' naysayers to their doom and gloom. Que sera sera, as they say.

Oh ye of little faith :ffs:
