I hope he realises it's nothing to Bragg about. 🙂

Thanks for that Christophe. I'd not have been surprised to see him go at the end of the season. Remaining in this league has been a failure. The stories around recruitment are in earlier posts. With the club safe, there's no real reason for it not to happen now. Planning will be underway for next season, and he wasn't going to be part of it.

Oh, I read a paragraph, before giving up. Would you say that made you ahead of the curve? 🙂

That sounds nice, but it was probably more to do with making sure the lights were turned off. 🙂

Partner: I'm going up. Will you be long? Me: I'll be staring lovingly at the league table for a while. Partner: Weirdo Me: Hush, while I'm working out goal differences...

Another wow! performance. Another game where the squad management Tonda put in from day one pays off. Excellent performances from a well drilled, yet changed, team that was pretty much in complete control. Blackburn got a bit more space when Bree went off. But we kept plenty of attacking options available, and everyone's work rate was just more than anything the visitors could muster. Very hard to pick a MOM. Pretty much everyone involved had excellent games. But lovely to see Archer get it from Sky. There's a great team spirit. From where we were, that's taken some doing. Not just the results, but in the way they work for and with each other. Ipswich losing certainly makes things interesting. But it means a fantastic run, has to keep going right to the end.

Nice little bit of tracking back from Jay. Forcing their player into a poor cross. Nice to see him back.

Blackburn put together some passes there. But for every challenge we were working so hard to close them down. Wood was the one that stopped them. We're also keeping plenty up front. So pleased for Archer. Not only a good personal game, but very much part of a unit. Definitely benefiting from having a quick, powerful Larin running in the attack too. Well done. Not to mention another Leo contribution.

Whew! Rattled the bar there. That's been about the only space we've given them.

Downes already showing how up for it he is. Everywhere he needs to be.

Larin has gone up a couple of notches up in mobility in the last couple of games. Nice to see, in the middle of so many games, players improving. Whew! Peretz has something to do there. Oh, lovely again from Larin. Matsuki does so well getting into the perfect spot, but scoops it. Really strong subs.

He'barely been in the team. But lovely defensive linking up between Archer and Manning. Then, good to see Matsuki in the middle. Eye for goal and good work rate. Just keep it going, will be fine.

Bragg Watch: Holds of a hefty challenge. Good positioning to get it moving out of defence. Nice simple pass as a result More good positioning, now behind the play watching the risk and there for support.
