    5% chance?
    Back to back wins would give us a new platform on which to build.
    Chances of back to back wins in our next two games – what odds would the bookies offer?

    Torps was awesome, Pat.
    I couldn’t grasp why there were so many who didn’t get it?
    Today, a guy of his attributes would cost well over half a million.

    Well, Elliott. Much may be expected of him. A BTG player brings midfielders and wingers more into the game. But no. Probably not, Cass. But any step in a right direction is still to be welcomed.
    Note how many teams in the NL have this kind of player and use them successfully – usually against us!
    Do hope Dean’s optimism is warranted.

    This argument now seems moot.

    John Gayle was worse than 1 in 12 but look how he transformed our scoring.
    I have been begging for such a style of player for more than five years.
    Just gotta hope he’s good enough. Dean seems to think so.

    So little nastiness and so much encouragement when we were at our lowest. I wish them well.
    I reckon the “We hate cod ‘eds” chant has gotta go.

    I had no commentary – just background noise from crowd.

    Our forward line did not look solid enough to pressurise defenders into conceding three. That’s what we really need at the moment in order to pick up points.
    Frankly, seeing us score two in a majority of remaining games looks pretty improbable.

    Forward line is no more than adequate.
    Zero possibility of pulling the desperately needed points out of the white rabbit’s hat.
    Staying in the NL is now impossible – even if we were to fluke three points in the 2nd half.

    I’m thinking about it, Bill. It’s a bit of a stretch, though.

    If Mullin falls down in the woods and there is nobody else to hear it – does the ref still award a penalty?

    Don’t get the Shields thing.
    BTW, “Sean Shields trained again today (after missing the early part of last week) and will be available for the squad on Tuesday.” Dean.

    Paring the squad in close season could be very tricky. We’ll probably be looking to bring in 3 or 4 decent players should we survive. Those to be shifted could be very numerous.
    Probably already have close to enough quality for a title tilt if relegated.

    Bunker, Butterfield, Beestin – nicely alliterative.

    The knock on effects to all those who are close to someone who has taken their own life are huge.
    I have been really troubled when this has happened to not especially close friends from years ago – what it must be like for family and close friends is unthinkable.

    Whitehouse’s recent form has made him number one choice on my team sheet. (I’m expecting a call from Jimmy to solicit my opinion – no later than this afternoon.)

    I can see Shields possibly featuring.
    Frankly, I’d not be pleased to see Wilson ahead of Butterfield.

    The umpiring decisions in cricket have improved beyond measure. Not ‘like with like’ maybe, but rather, ‘like with similar’.

    The Mason-Taft left-sided defensive partnership is reason number one for me why we aren’t bottom 8 rather than bottom 2.
    (Without an experienced GK being in place explains several more places.)
    Those two issues remedied – we could easily have been between 12th and 14th AND we’d probably have been able to persuade Lavery to stay.
    Sigh.
