TBH I don’t take notice of Swann anymore, I’m more concerned in what Keith Hill says and how the team performs. I believe Keith Hill to be a genuine person, I believe that’s all I need to say.

Hill clearly thinks Hackney is the better pick despite his stupid ban and he should be back for the last 15 fixtures. I’m sure Hill would have loved to keep Wood but he’s playing the numbers game with this embargo on and he obviously wanted to move others on. If we assume they are Turan and Millen then once again it speaks volumes about our disastrous summer recruitment under little Swann. I’m still unsure about Perry, he can pass it for fun but he clearly isn’t fit and as a result lacks confidence but maybe next season in a stiffer midfield he could prosper. One thing for sure football management isn’t easy it’s just some make it easier then others,I’m sure glad Hill is here.

Think your right Awaywego, the only thing they lacked from today was extra fitness and pace which certainty has improved tremendously with modern training methods and diet etc. Some say that the players of yesteryear would not last the full game against modern opposition today and would be burnt out after seventy minutes, that could well be true but nobody mentions that only five or six of the modern day players would be left standing after seventy minutes. Mind you modern refereeing would protect them now.

Eight new players in this month, so TBF to the club they have tried to change things with bringing in three quarters of a new side. Main thing for me is that these players are who Hill wanted and he’s worked with most if not all of them before at some point in their careers. So the majority of fans support Hill and now he has a chance to mould these players he knows into his team with the rest of the squad. Not an easy task with so few games left but I believe we have a chance with this manager doing things his way with the players he brought in. Not a grubby cygnet hand involved in any of these signings it would seem, good, and good luck Keith.

Feeney will fit into any midfield role required, he’s strong and experienced, midfield is fine let’s get that centre back and another forward in they are the two required positions that need filling now.

Never seen the Stretford end so full Ironawe, the only time I saw a genuine sway in there. The programme from that game is quite valuable, has programmes go.
Proper cup final, both games. Osgood’s equaliser was pure class in the replay and Dave Webb was never going to miss that winning header, hard as nails. Both Leeds and Chelsea had some proper physical guys playing back then but both also had some very skillful ball players. I always thought the Chelsea team from that era were great to watch and it’s a shame they never won the league with that side, they were classy and very entertaining.

One of the earliest exponents of the long throw and using it to great effeect, Ian Hutchinson of Chelsea. Caused mayhem in the Leeds penalty area back in the FA Cup replay from 1970, causing so much havoc it allowed Dave Webb to head the Chelsea winner. Popular win that as I recall, the Chelsea flair team beating the ” Leeds Revie Machine “.
Sorry to see him go as he’d made real progress under Hill, wish the lad all the best.

Wasn’t Boxall the teacher and only signed part time, or was that someone else?

Well whatever option he’s using ( if any ) he’s got 8 hours left to give the fans just a glimmer of hope for the rest of the season. Come on Prawn stopping being an arse and help KH out, he’s trying his best it’s time you joined in.

As an aside, Eriksen’s just signed for Brentford
Yep and Ivan Toney cut his hair last week and scored a goal, maybe that is the reason he’s not scored many this season, his long hair sapping his mojo.

As a side issue is it just my hearing starting to go but did I detect a ” WHOOSH ” coming from the DRE on Tuesday night midway through the second half as we punted another ball aimlessly upfield? Brought back memories of dear old John Bramhall and his legendary clearances upfield, the WHOOSH chant stayed with him during his entire time with us.

Remember when Eriksen collapsed on the pitch in the Euro’s and anti vaxxers said his heart condition was due to the covid vaccine, till it was pointed out he had not been vaccinated. Dont know why there are more stoppages in games when a member of the crowd is taken ill and requiring instant medical care. Are we just becoming more socially aware that life is really more important than football ( Bill Shankly would disagree ) and that peoples concerns regarding the fragility of life have changed? Maybe thats it,I believe we have certainly become more health and life conscious since the pandemic arrived and after all it’s only bloody football.
