The only statement I’m interested in the club making will be between 3:00 & 5:00 this afternoon!

Certainly do remember Suggs! I think you could get just about anything there.
When I played for Gurnell St U11s our shirts were red with white collar and cuffs. Buttoned collar and buttoned cuffs mind you. Made by Bukta I think.
Double thickness cotton, reversible. So if there was a colour clash you turned your shirt inside out, making our “away shirt” white with red collar and cuffs.
And when they got wet!

Can anyone remember when football kits were designed so you could tell the teams apart from the back of the stands on a grey December afternoon, rather than for the catwalk or to placate the casuals before they hit the bars of Benidorm?
Remember that classic 1969/70 season? That strip really fired up the imagination.

Blimey have some people done theirs already?
I’ll be checking the tea leaves from my Saturday morning cuppa before making my predictions!

I refer you to MK’s post on the “Vapid pre-season” thread.
Rose has done virtually a full pre-season with Posh before leaving them for another club.

So nothing to do with a new Star Wars film?

Incredible! If it was the plot of a film you’d say it was far fetched.
Loved Chloe Kelly’s penalty. Straight out of the Harry Kane repertoire.

As I said on the other thread we looked better defensively with the dreaded five at the back. That’s because the full/wing backs were pushing up in a high press making the midfield quite compact and stifling their attack. Downside was that Whitehall was isolated up front so we’re relying on the energy and skills of the midfield to provide the killer pass. That or the wing backs getting up the line and putting in the crosses. Which to be fair is what they were trying to do yesterday.
Once you drop a defender and go with a standard four at the back there’s no hiding place for them. If you still want the width then you’re light in CMF which the opposition will exploit. Pack the midfield at the expense of wide men and there’s no outlet.
It’s fairly obvious and I’m sure the coaching staff are aware of it. It also reinforces the need for a midfield general. Something I don’t think we have at present.
