Shropshire Saint

I also have a SW supporting frienf who saya much the same about Rohl. On your second point I think most Championship sides would beat the current team.

If we hadn't sold Carlos would we still have bought Mateus? Could not see RM playing both in the same team.

I thought there was something going on when the team came out for the second half several minutes before Spurs and the officials.

Mine still not arrived.

Hull have ex Saint Alfie Jones as a regular at centre back. He looked to be half decent when he played for our Under 21s about 4 years ago but was let go.

In our promotion season 1965/6 we lost 5-1 to Coventry in September. Four days later we beat Wolves 9-3.

In my opinion we should have done more to keep Forster last year and let McCarthy move on. Possibly bring in Baz as one for the future.

A key member (and captain) of our 1965/6 promotion season. In a game against Wolves he scored an early own goal. The expression on his face ( he was right in front of me in the Milton Road) was of absolute horror. He needn't have worried - we won the match 9-3. RIP Tony.

I thought Finnegan had gone on loan to Crewe.

So McCarthy will be bound to start gainst Spurs then.

When Forest get promotion next week add Steve Cooper to the list.

We gave them so much space in the first half, particularly down our right where KWP was having to deal with the threat without any support. In central midfield Naitland- Miles ran the show -- and we let him. In short, they played like we did when we were on fire earlier in the season and we played like they did when they were crap earlier in the season.

Interesting that in THAT match last season (the one we talk about) Ryan was sent off early on as a result of a VAR decision. The VAR ref on that occasion was.... Mike Dean.

There have been so many "next big things" in recent years that has failed to materialise for various reasons. Alfie Jones, Calum Slattery, Jake Hesketh, Josh Sims, Harrison Reed and so on. Going further back, LLoyd James, Olly Lancashire (both of which suffered because they were thrown in at the deep end far too early). It seems to be a fact that the ones that make it seem to come out of nowhere which seems to be happening at the moment with Tella, N'Lundulo (both of which have made steady, but unspectauclar progress in the Under 23's) and now Chauke. Not everyone will make it and some intakes will be better than others. We have had some spectacular disasters in the transfer market in recent years ( and a few successes) but for me I would rather see an academy player establish themselves.

It is in the Daily Mail so it must be true😄
