Is that just for us, or in general ? Seems an unlikely feat for a home match as well, certainly for us,It might be 'any match' .

I was thinking about that Ipswich game earlier when racking my brain about comebacks, although of course it was at The Dell. Weren’t we 3-0 down at one point in that match ? My recollection is that the crowd were incensed by Ipswich’s second or third goal as they played on whilst a Saints player was down injured. Then we scored before halftime, and that rallied the crowd (which was pretty good when it got going at The Dell in those days). Came out second half and went for it, Moran and Armstrong in fine form. Got a second and we all knew it was ‘on’. May have got some of that wrong*, as one thing I do ‘remember’ from the match was that (then in my younger years) I and my mate were quite pissed at the game. * perhaps it was the second goal just after HT that set the crowd up

I’m sure some detailed research will reveal the major contribution made by the Eckerts of their day to the success.

That went on Tommy Forecast’s hotel bar bill.

Wouldn’t we be better off taking a chance, and if needed look to bring in an emergency keeper if needed rather than this bloke ? Problem of having two on our books is that we could be denied the ‘emergency’ option as we already have two on our books. Arguing “yes, but they’re both shit” isn’t going to cut it.

It wasn’t called the academy at the time, but those I remember coming through the ranks and being regular starters for half a season or so are Steve Middleton (1975, then displaced by Ian Turner), and Gerry Gurr in the late 1960’s (whose career I think was buggered by injury before Eric Martin took over)

He’ll probably give an interview with a sulk or comment that the board can take exception to at some point.

Still wouldn’t be the biggest cunt from Leicester they’ve had on there.

There are 46 games in the league, but that isn’t enough to place and reward the teams in some order of merit. So have a qualifying match, plus possibly a home and away semi-final (three more matches). Add a final at Wembley, and that’s a total of 50 matches to decide the last promotion place. No longer a league but the longest running cup competition out there.

Killing the golden goose springs to mind

Many familiar comments on Foxestalk, despairing with trying to play 5at the back. Other familiar themes - manager clueless, nods still clapping the team off, owners need to go. Weren’t these the same owners that saw them win the league about 10 years ago ?

What a bizarre, and upside down world we now live in. Three or more chumps or cyber anoraks don’t attend the match but watch it presumably online and link up to discuss it. And others log in to watch them. !!

From the highlights he looked to be playing CF for a bit.

Brilliant. Thanks for posting that.

3 up and losing the match. I remember that Leeds fiasco, but nothing comes close to Tranmere (was it 2001 ?). Tgat still hurts. Nice to turn it round ourselves tonight.
