Liam Kelly looks 16 years off the pace.

The young lad Davenport at the back looks solid.

In all seriousness he should of gone on to achieved so much more!

Morrell getting the goal. Grendel won't be happy

 

[chiefdave]

I miss the days when you could be a fat lad and still fit into a replica shirt.

 

[speedie87]

Eric delomeux having a good game

 

[chiefdave]

FFS, Black out.

 

[baldy]

[stay_up_skyblues]

In fairness I don’t think he had much choice in the end.

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Typical City 1-0 up. they go down to 10 and we let it slip. Taxi for Black if he doesn't turn it around second half....

Who do you replace him with though?

 

[Paul Anthony]

Don't think much of the half time entertainment....

 

[Sky Blue Harry H]

Didn't realise twist n shout was going in 2004? Memory playing tricks.

 

[Skybluefaz]

They going to wait the full 15 minutes before playing the second half?

 

[AlansEyes]

That starting lining isnt particularly star studded, is it?!

Players need time for a half time cuppa

Been going a lot longer than that!

True

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Anyone else’s ifollow sound a picture out of sync?

 

[LastGarrison]

Where's everybody drinking ?

Always remember we had to literally bang on the door of a boozer in the centre of Walsall at about half 10 in the morning (Think it was the George or the Dragon something like that) and when the Landlord stuck his head out and saw 50 odd of us he quickly opened up and made a fortune as more and more joined us throughout the morning.

Game weren’t bad either.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

What a goal

 

[Skybluefaz]

Julian Joachim was a better player than I remember him being at the time

 

[Frostie]

Some good players in that team; Joachim, Warnock, Davenport & Deloumeaux was massively underrated too - criminal the way he was bombed out under Reid.

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

What a performance lads. McSheffrey gets better by the week. I reckon we can have a good go at promotion with Black at the helm. PUSB.

 

[Gynnsthetonic]

Just got in from the pub, how did we get on?

 

[stay_up_skyblues]

Sky are replaying the playoff final at 10pm if you want to set your skybox to record.

 

[Liquid Gold]

Is this the 6-1?

Good day out.

I hope you stuck a tenner on!

 

[Brighton Sky Blue]

I just spilled a drink all over the Pink so Dad’s pissed off

 

[Irish Sky Blue]

Just watched the game, Deloumoux, Warnock, Joachim all looked good. However, I think this year's team is better and would beat that team. If I was picking 11 from the two teams then: I would keep this seasons keeper, play all of the back three plus Dabo. I would put Warnock in for McCallum, assuming he can play wing back. I love Kelly but would maybe swap him for Deloumoux. Walsh is a must. I think I would go for Mc Sheffrey and Joachim more than O'Hare and Allen and would also prefer Adebola to Godden.
The last three choices, not much in it. Not sure where Gudjonsan was for this game as I thought he was a good player. Considering the comparison is between second and third division teams, it shows how good we are this season. Has the standard in the Championship improved? Possibly, but we more than matched Blues in those two games.

The standard of the football league has definitely gone up, especially over the last 5 or 6 years. Didn't Gudjohnson only sign that January?

Was just about to say about Gudjohnson! Really liked him, exciting player. Think it was him who scored really early in a game under black (it was either Plymouth or Derby I think). We were on a great run of games at the time and won the game 3-0 or 3-1.

 

[TewkesburySkyBlue]

How come I don’t remember the keeper Gavin Ward ? Was watching the game and didn’t know who he was until just now. Strange just can’t remember him mind you I am pretty ancient !

 

[mrtrench]

I watched until we went 3-1 up. At that point it seemed obvious we would win so I went and did some gardening.

Anyway, what I wanted to say is, that I think that we play more attractive football now than then.

 

[wingy]

Seemed to go on forever.
