I'd forgotten it; I remembered we went down to 9, but couldn't remember who was sent off or why. I can remember their keeper's own goal, and the expression on his face afterwards, clear as day, though.

Well remembered! The second Richard Shaw yellow! :ROFLMAO:

I think that one was for a foul on Bergkamp (or Bergkamp dived). Viera was also sent off for them, if I have the right game. It was a proper humdinger.

All of those handball decisions look ridiculous now.

Quite possibly. It would explain why we had two penalty takers, and it was at a time when Killer started fluffing them more often than scoring.

I was on the kop for that game, quite close to the Forset fans. For some reason, they had this thing where whenever anything exciting happened, they'd jiggle (it's the only way I can think to describe it) their arms in the air and shout, 'it's enough to make your arms go wooo-oooooo-oooo!' It...

Brau was a punt and probably not expected to be anything other than a bit-part player this season. Woolfenden was not, he was intended as an immediate first team player, same as Thomas and Kitching.

Something weird with Woolfenden, as if he can't get a game over Kitching, who's so out of form and bereft of confidence that he's a hindrance, then something must be wrong.

This is on the manager though. Until he can get in the players that suit the system he wants to play, he has to tailor the system to our players' strengths and weaknesses. Dasilva's what he is; he's not going to grow or find pace, so you have to work within those confines. Asking a player to...

He was. Possibly the most naturally gifted player I've seen play for us. Not to say the most effective, but the most technically proficient.

Hadji.

Preston never beat Preston either.

This is what frustrates me. The way we were playing was fine when the confidence was high, the players were in form and the forwards were scoring lots of goals. But that level of performance wasn't sustainable; when energy levels dropped, or we had players out, then we should have looked to...

After all, everybody likes to work for a boss that slates them in public. Sometimes people need a bollocking. Bollockings happen in private.

We're showing Brexit levels of self-sabotage.

This thread is giving me Spice Girls earworm.

All fair comments, and I don't think anyone expected the early form in their wildest dreams, and I think most accepted that it would dip to a degree. However, the degree that it has collapsed is alarming. We now essentially have to reproduce genuine promotion form to stay ahead of rivals, and...

Figuratively. Sorry, one of my bugbears.
