  1. That's just splitting hairs. He was a fully fledged member of our team and is clearly benefitting from that experience. Great seeing our old boys do well.
  2. 100% Spot on. Every single manager he has played under here has used him regularly in the team, in various positions. Every single one. It is clear he is a good character on and off the pitch and a leader yet there are people who despite good/decent games still follow the easy line and criticise his performances without offering balance. Yet at the same time we can have some of our more considered 'flamboyant' players making absolute howlers, and the gang strangely fail to spot those incidents or moan about them later. Was he worthy of MoM yesterday? Yes he was and I suspect he will be in the staring line up next match.
  3. It's easy to scape goat McLean, but he was man of the match for a reason and deservedly so despite making a couple of errors. Always showing for the ball and looking to make a forward pass, numerous interceptions and encouraging to others throughout. Having said that, very few of our team covered them selves in glory, albeit against an effective and well drilled team
  4. The main witness (the victim) has decided not to present her evidence. No reasons given as to why but that alone is going to cause the case to collapse. At the same time it looks like she has been involved in something that causes concerns for the cps. All in all a real mess.
  5. Thinking back now, wasn't there a teachers strike on 'set piece attack day'?
  6. I'm not sure I follow. Are you saying rail seating does make it possible to increase capacity. I.e. 3 persons standing where 2 would have sat?
  7. I have done similar a number of times and there has never been a problem. The ticket flashes differently on entrance if it is a youth one (2 bars show compared to three) to an adult however, as it is a youth using an adult ticket then no issues (certainly not in my experience).
  8. He's on. Looks like he is not getting too much of the ball though
  9. Real shame it didn't work out longer term for us with Todd and he is with doubt a real talent, when on song. However, we have moved on so good luck to him up there. If he performs like we know he can, then they have got a real gem of a player, for probably very little.
  10. Personally, I feel we missed Onel when he wasn't here. As someone else said, he causes the opposition problems whenever he is on the pitch with his pace and desire. Long may that continue with us
  11. Wish they would 'take' the upper river end. Sponsored silence in there by 70% each game
  12. This is spot on in every way. We began to really mix it with the bigger boys, late 80s early 90s and if we had a ownership team with a strategic plan, vision and drive to improve our position I also believe we could have established ourselves in the top half of the PL. We are as a result a bit of a 'nearly club' and it could have been so much different. The subsequent promotions back to the PL have always been a struggle, in part because we messed up royally at the start. What could have been..........
  13. Seeing as we could well be out of the playoff spot by Thursday night, I suspect he will be gone the following morning before we play Reading. It would just take a milwall point and 3 points from any of a number of teams below us and we are in 7th/8th spot. The thought of turning up Friday night with us out of the PO spots and DS still in charge surely will be too much to bear for the board? That and the thousands of empty seats and unsold tickets again at the ground. I think we are waiting until we are out of the PO spots as that may have an impact on the payoff. If this is the case we could still limp on for a few games yet. Shudddder
  14. How canny. I was thinking exactly the same 👊
  15. His report on the pink un front page is spot on and emphasizes almost everything I feel about this team and set up at the moment. I believe DS brought in Hayden so feels he has to play him however, players such as Gibbs are our future and need to start when fit. Sort it out DS (you can decide which 'DS' I'm referring to)
  16. To call a bloke you don't know other than what you see from a camera, a tw4t, is very, very poor. That so many (myself included) want him replaced does not mean he is suddenly Putin's righthand man, drinking buddy and sidekick. I suspect he is actually a really decent fella, but for a number of reasons it has gone wrong here and changes are needed. No need for an attack on his character.
  17. I heard his remarks on the radio and thought then that it was hardly a 'backing the manager speech.' Thought he came across really well
  18. Terribly sad to hear of the loss of your son Ricardo. It must be incredibly hard to deal with. Look forward to seeing you back on here when you feel able. Kind Regards
  19. Brilliant goal just engineered by the magician, Messi. What a player!
  20. I'd imagine the feeling is fairly mutual from their side 😂
  21. They'll do well to beat Stevenage. Just seen they are 2nd in league 2, 10 points above 7th place. Fingers crossed for them
  22. Would love to play them again. Miss the derbys. And no I seriously couldn't give a t055 if they beat us, though I'm sure they wouldn't
  23. Been a few times. Went as a youngster with friends when we were standing in the end behind their goal (north stand?) for a night game. Great laugh and it seemed our pen was absolutely packed with what can only be described as a very 'lively bunch' of city supporters.
