Today, two things wrecked us. A referee by not disallowing their first goal after a foul; referee who doesn’t know that smacking someone in the face is not a yellow card.
Secondly, we fell into a trap which has beset us for more than a decade ie) putting every man behind the ball for the last half an hour of games ‘to prevent us conceding.’
Question. Hasn’t Daws been around for all of that period? Has he not seen what happens whenever we opt not to take the attack to the opposition?5 users thanked author for this post.
Well. If he’s an honourable man – I can’t see why people are getting so bovvered. It’s not as if we have any reason to disbelieve what he says.

Happily, Vader – I was not there in person.
Still. As long as we know that the football club will be in good shape when the owner eventually steps aside – surely, all must be well.
Irony apart – the abject misery of the last five years is not too far behind bereavement in the way it leaves you feeling.1 user thanked author for this post.
Team has obviously worked hard. Commentators said so. But- it’s been all hell and no notion. Otherwise known as – headless chicken syndrome.

Our Nige seemed pleasantly surprised by how well we played – and, as usual, spoke about the few negatives with a degree of wisdom.

The trouble is, BS – none of us is sufficiently confident to gainsay what you’ve written.

The most overwhelming reason I’m now a rare visitor is that I’m an old dude who can’t face driving back to Sheffield in the dark – especially when so many road closures of the M180 send you onto farm tracks and D roads.
Also can’t easily face bad winter weather – my arthritis kills in the cold.
You’ll still see me in July to September and late March onwards.
Mind you – if I can bum the occasional lift from Number One Son, who now has other Saturday commitments, I’ll risk the cold but only if the lads are trying.
Conclusion? – Probably six or seven games a season.1 user thanked author for this post.
I get it, IA.
I’m now trying to develop that sense of detachment that I can usually put together to get me through whenever I have to attend a particularly tough funeral.1 user thanked author for this post.
We barely have a team and two subs. When injuries, suspensions etc take their pound of flesh – of course we aren’t going to be able to compete. No Butterfield, no Apter – oh, dear.
Where CBs are concerned, we are nearly running on empty. Breaking up of play in midfield is largely absent from games when we do have ‘a full team’ on the pitch.
There are question marks over the GK.
Apter will leave in a couple of months. We are still paying Marsh’s wages, presumably. Hallam remains on the sidelines – as ever.
Gotta say that beating SS always looked a longshot.1 user thanked author for this post.
What a good day.
We have not lost any league points.1 user thanked author for this post.
