    I’m still worrying about my holiday clash being in Italia.
    Has anyone on Bru actually used DAZN successfully over there to watch a game?
    Shall book it before going.

    Pronounced ‘Churchman’ when mentioned on the radio.

    Yes. I’d wondered if George is still on the go. He used to give me lifts to games when I was a mere sprog.

    Yes, all I have to do is look to the left hand wall from where I’m typing and there hangs a bucolic scene in oils by the man himself.

    RTH was a pleasure to watch. He made difficult manoeuvres look easy. My theory is that it was all done by terrific flexibility and smoothness in the way he moved his hips.

    I loved watching Cammack cut across the edge of the penalty area and neatly crack those angled drives neatly into the corner.

    Am told I can watch match on DAZN when I’m on holiday in Italy. (No need for VPNs)
    Hoping it’s right.
    I fancy us to beat Chester.

    Correctly subbed. The last thing we could afford would have been for him to get crocked too.

    The greatest failing was the manager insisting on playing with a system last Autumn that had long outlived its early season usefulness.

    They often put events at our level on late.
    Not time to panic – yet.

    In pain. Torn muscle on top of shoulder. Can only drive a few miles.
    Thanks for asking.

    Well. After two wretched performances in the last few matches, we must expect that their game will be raised for the remaining fixtures AND we shall be filled with guts for two playoffs?
    It could happen – I suppose.

    To be fair, I have been pretty impressed with many of the GKs I’ve seen in the NLN. Perhaps a majority.
    I don’t think I’d want Campbell as Number One.

    The improvement in AB since last Autumn has been pretty major.

    Fans have long recognised the need for one player ‘of size’ in CM, Apollo. Scales has his moments but …
    On a slightly different track – I wonder how many OOC players will be offered a 40% (or so) pay-cut and will readily accept?
    I suspect it may well be more than the fingers on one hand.

    The worrying thing was earlier in the season when he was unable to see what was abundantly obvious to a significant number of fans. His planning had been sussed and he convinced himself that it hadn’t. What’s more – he was right and that was that!
    Happily, he finally backtracked and this alone saved our season.
    Unhappily, the points subsequently lost by draws and indifferent match-play were never going to be fully covered by his more rational approach. This is why we have not already been promoted.
    He has learned a great deal in this season – albeit pretty slowly.
    He may well win the playoffs – if he does not – it is quite possibly because of flaws in certain players.
    I might well be prepared to give the manager another chance – something I could not have agreed to with the previous boss.

    Everything taken into account, we were worth a point.
    Who should have challenged the guy with the oh-so easy header?

    Gung-Ho and recklessness are certainly not to be welcomed – that’s true.
    Attacking harder than we normally do is a must, however.

    For us to win this division in any given season, it is necessary to cut down on the draws.
    12 points from 12 drawn matches this season. Oh, dear.
    So very much better to win six, draw four and lose two. (Other winning combinations are possible but I just cannot see how we could realistically have been any worse off.)
    Going for bust in every single game is surely the way forward. It might/might not work in L2 but I reckon that 6 levels down the pyramid …
    Negative football is not welcome – and I don’t give a monkey’s cuss what other teams opt to do.
