I must admit that I wasn’t awfully struck on his penalty-taking.

[lesgeo]

Dec’s goalscoring talents are many and varied.
On the Cod ‘ed video, he also scored a significant number of goals as a consequence of seriously shocking defending by defences and GKs.
He will only find a tiny fraction of such dross in the NL.
No reason why he can’t get 15 to 20 this coming season – his close control and first touch will probably condemn Carlton to the bench and have Dec as a regular starter.
The option to play Carlton as an attacking wide player is possible, of course – a role with which he will be pretty familiar.

Proof positive that AB spends a large portion of his life on Bru?

Deer, deer, deer.

I’m not against the Honours System at all but am fed up to the back teeth with honours going on the nod to: politicos, sportspeople – and worst of all – actors and singers.
There are so many real people out there who work their guts out for worthy causes who get zilch because they aren’t famous.
(Using your fame to put your own charity work into the forefront is something I could do without too.)

Cleethorpes and Crowle will hardly have us playing a season-starting lineup.

Post-Geoff Barnard, there were a few dodgy keepers – happily Graeme was not one such.

Ah. Sorry – I meant aaarghhh!

5 at the back is fine, DM, provided that we have precisely the right players to pull it off.

Isn’t it better to go up via playoffs? A cash boost.
I’d guess £70k+.
Anyone know better?

[lesgeo]

From that group – I think very few will leave but I suspect that any leftover from the previous chairman may have to take a a significant cut. Mind you, salary isn’t everything. Some may welcome the challenge of the NL.

[lesgeo]

He is not a poor player. He may, however, be a square peg in a round hole.

Sheffield folks coming to watch chez moi this pm.

I know exactly what you mean SF but all such things are double-edged when form and injuries play a part. Moreover, what about those – more than a few – who are stars in one context and a relative failure in another for reasons unfathomable.

[lesgeo]

Perfectly forgivable, Cass.

[lesgeo]

Anybody ever buy it? – Then STOP!

[lesgeo]

There has to be an addition of pace.

[lesgeo]

His first touch is the only significant problem.
Great to see how good a scorer he can be though, innit?

We need a CM who is, indeed, hard as nails and also has a bit of height. We must be able to win balls in the air.
Want to keep our 3 best forwards – GK – yes if …

[lesgeo]

DM, if he had continued in the same vein – no way would we have been rejoicing today.
Maybe it was fan pressure; perhaps board pressure or personal revelation. Who knows? All that matters is that he began steering the Iron boat in a better direction.

We have to fit in some serious worrying about any who we don’t want to leave – are doing.
Also need to worry that any newcomers are up to scratch.

DAZN failed me in Italy. But Nord did not.

[lesgeo]

That niggled me!

[lesgeo]

Perhaps a tad optimistic there, Rene.

[lesgeo]

I’m pleased for AB – he got a lot right. Indeed, player fitness was what got us through today.
However, I was totally fed up with the ref who so nearly cost us.
That we tried anti-Alfreton tactics and were successful leaves me somewhat staggered.
That was not pretty.
Mebbe now, we can abandon such dubious strategies.
Why we played so little football today, was beyond me.
If those brainless yobs don’t yet get what was really happening with such crass behaviour – perhaps someone could ‘explain’ the matter to them!

[lesgeo]

As the day bears down upon us, all I can manage to say is: “Jibber, jibber, jibber.”
It’s been a tough fortnight of niggling worrrrrrrrrrry.
If the lads play to their best – we should win. If they don’t – more ‘sick as a parrotitude!’
Repeat after me: Must not think of Boston. Must not think of Boston. Must not think of Boston!

[lesgeo]

No. I’d never heard that.

[lesgeo]

Different style to Heath, Bill – but a class act, nonetheless.

It’s called a VPN, Cass.
I have one on my laptop which I rarely use.
Testing things out, I set it up to have me being in Manchester – DASN then refused to open. They appear to have sussed this method and so I removed it – DASN opened.
If I can’t get the match on TV – I’ll put the VPN back on to ‘ensure’ commentary, at least.
I know it’s supposed to work but I’m, unusually for me, in total panic mode at the moment, BLT.
I was in Nevada for that Luton game some years ago – couldn’t get that one, either on TV or commentary, hence my advanced nervous state.
(What really bugs me was that I carefully checked the dates of playoffs and final last August. Over months, I’ve seen 3 different dates online!)

An old buddy is WT crazy. I really don’t want the opportunity to meet up in an away fixture with him!
