Re: Ex Players

Ted Drake signed Sylvan Anderton for Chelsea from Reading , He had to make a choice which wing half ( as they were called in those days) to sign , the other option was the legendary Dave McKay , who later signed for Tottenham !

Re: Ex Players

Mentioning , Rod Thornhill , I captained Rod in the school team , when he was a little left winger . You also mentioned Johnny Brooks I also knew him and several members of his family . The thing about John was that often on Sunday mornings he would watch kick abouts in Prospect Park or Coley Rec , ...

Re: New manager rumours and speculation

I’m not impressed with any of the new manager names so far proposed , so here’s one that may cause some reactions . James Milner of Liverpool . Out of contract at end of season , I believe . Vast experience of quality clubs and played in many positions , always a worker and enthusiastic player . How...

Re: Tom Ince

I sympathise with Tom Ince , there’s him , a quality player , better than all the others , running his nuts off , and most of the rest , just not capable of putting in an adequate performance . Is it any wonder that he has a blast at them , I’m just amazed it took him so long .

Re: MATCHWATCH : Preston North End (a)

We were only in the game for a few minutes in the second half . We were totally dominated by PNE . Play like that and we don’t deserve to be in this league .

Joao and Carroll are decent forwards at this level —— but they are nothing if you can’t get the ball to them !

Re: Our defence.

Yes , our defence is rubbish ! In the last 2 years we have conceded too many goals . Look at the CB situation . Who has been the most constantly picked CB , Holmes , he has had many different partners , but he is regularly there .
Does that give you any thoughts ?

Re: January transfer window 2023

I keep reading what a good CB Holmes has become . Well maybe it’s time to state what I see with him .He has been a regular CB for the past 2 seasons . I expect a CB to command the central areas of his own half , but particularly his own penalty area . Where are we weak , and what goals do we concede...
