    “ Any Insiders?”

    Are they doing time at His Majesty’s Pleasure?
    Day release in convicts corner?

    Huge (Uninspired) Parker
    Has he left the building?
    Was his name not down?
    If not, he’s not getting in!
    Nothing lost if he never ‘signed’.

    Dec is the only other in the squad with a strong goal scoring record albeit mainly at lower levels.

    I suspect that’s why Butler is giving him a shot wide right.

    Time that Stan ditched the ‘look at me, I can set up teams in fancy formations’ to give the impression we’re (coaching staff) not dinosaurs.

    4-4-2
    Danny & Dec as two out & out strikers – they’ll get us fifty goals this season as a front two!

    4-4-2

    2 full backs who can defend but can join in going forward
    2 centre half’s who know their job but can pass out from the back and are a threat at corners & set pieces

    2 wide men who can get beyond their markers, whip in a good ball or nip inside and unleash a shot themselves… also fit enough to help their full backs out.

    2 centre mids – one a box to box, the other more of a sitter who can spray the ball about.

    2 forwards who have a proven goal scoring history. Willing to press high & early but also prepared to do doggies tracking back and closing down / angles

    And a keeper who can command his area, stop shots, catch crosses and initiate a quick counter.

    Too much to ask for?

    Abysmal… as usual !
    To say that Stan was a head it and kick it defender – he must be fuming!

    8 v 4 in the box… and we concede to an unmarked / picked up runner at the back

    I accidentally deleted the file in the link contained in the post above.

    Here’s their goal:

    8 x 4 … they cat burgle us at back post!

    Paddy clearly thinks we will be lucky to score one goal… and can’t see us adding to it.

    Just watched Garth’s blog, what’s with the 7 fans leaving once we scored and before they restarted
    (and that’s just in the centre of the Mortz on view) , still 10% of the match left not like we were 3-1 down.

    I’m with you Awaywego on early leavers, quite a few leave every home game some from 85 minutes onward in the Threadgold stand, regularly miss late goals be they winners or equaliser’s like yesterday. Really strange what’s the big deal getting away early? just crazy IMO.

    That’s happened since the New Show Ground first opened nearly 40 years ago!

    Used to take forever to get out of that infernal car park!

    Same old, same old… how many times were we done at the back post last season!
    Have we learned nothing!

    Slow & pedestrian and high tempo & quick referenced within the same breath (it was within 10 seconds of each other). Oxymoronical statement?

    Fight, scrap, bodies on the line – isn’t that a given? We need more than that… clever, inventive, unpredictable, unplayable – surely that’s the words we want to hear?

    Pub players turn up and (literally) fight, scrap and try to put their beer bellied bodies on the line :-)

    Brennan, 3 year contact. Strange one. Would he not sign a 2 year deal?

    From last season – plenty to work on, we’ll work hard next week, something to develop, learning curve, lesson learned blah, blah, blah

    All this learning & developing… we’ll soon be European Champions!

    Squads too big and out of balance.

    Two shots on target in 90 plus minutes.
    Woeful.

    No match report on OWS yet.
    Poor.

    I think it’ll be 2-1 to us.

    I’ve had a win to us in my NL Acca.

    But;
    I’ve had £2 on 3-3 at 50/1

    There’s often a goal fest on the opening & closing weekends of a season.

    It’s not going very well.
    Only 8% of the initial target raised.

    Wasn’t one of his nicknames Mighty Mouse?
    Maybe erect a 1/10th scale statute?

    A record number of candidates – 34 standing in the Clacton by-election.

    Some (not so)serious opposition in next weeks line up:

    Baron Von Thunderclap
    Count Binface
    Howling Laud Hope
    Nick The Incredible Flying Brick
    Woke Trump Carrzee

    They started 25 years ago as PredictA. They were so s**** at predicting that season that they changed their name to PredictB hoping that people would think they were a new company.

    Brilliant :-)
