Have to get a line in for him if he’s playing and don’t talk about funerals
Chris Marsden? Probably couldn’t get about as much as he used to but worth a punt!

I remember it I think. Jan Age Fjortoft late on for them? Wegerle turned up for this one too I believe.That Swindon game at home - biggest 1-1 thrashing we've ever handed out. He was immense that game.
Is this the final cryptic clue from the xmas quiz? I think I get the first bit but you’ve lost me with talk of funerals.Have to get a line in for him if he’s playing and don’t talk about funerals
Yes we pulverised them for a 1-1 draw but the draw with Huddersfield recently must be up there.That Swindon game at home - biggest 1-1 thrashing we've ever handed out. He was immense that game.
Think it was this one (just watched a video, where at the end of the link above on a second clip, the commentator refers to Bloomfield Road, instead of Highfield Road - heathen!)
I remember one with Fjortoft scoring as well, in about the 9th minute of added time.I remember it I think. Jan Age Fjortoft late on for them? Wegerle turned up for this one too I believe.
I seem to remember their fans being absolute twats throughout. We were sat near them in the skyblue terrace.
Edit: hadn’t noticed you put up a vid. Was wrong about fjortoft!
Yeah, I thought so too but I think swindon were only up for one season?I remember one with Fjortoft scoring as well, in about the 9th minute of added time.

Edit: what’s worse about this is, it’s starting to come back to me that I’ve had exactly the same conversation on here before. I think it was pointed out I was wrong then too.
I haven’t heard it! (Or have and have completely forgotten it).Don't worry - I nearly started a thread (there will have been one before) on weird away day experiences, then remembered I'd told my tale about Spurs away (when we stayed up) before (probably more than once!)
It was Andy Mutch who scored. Fjortoft got a hatrick against us in the game at SwindonI remember one with Fjortoft scoring as well, in about the 9th minute of added time.
I get the impression he is not on back up money?He’s not getting forward enough at the minute, but I assume that will change as he gets used to the system. I think he’s the backup for Maatsen until the end of the season anyway.

We havent signed a 28 year old with 300 championship games on a 2.5 year deal as a back up for a 19 year old loanee from Chelsea. He will likely be on of our highest earners now, you don't pay that to warm the bench. They will compete for the position and I wouldn't be surprised if they rotate a lot depending on the opposition.He’s not getting forward enough at the minute, but I assume that will change as he gets used to the system.

How on earth can people say he’s better defensively than Maatsan? He’s played a game and a half and already produced the worst bit of defending I’ve seen all season.
Not writing him off but can’t see what you lot have seen to suggest he’s a better defender than Maatsan yet.

Yeah, but apart from that?He has played 300 games at this level and has been in several play offs. He and Kane have nearly 600 games between them and have been first choice between them at 6 clubs - that suggests he's better than a rookie 19 year old
Disagree, I will say though Dabo is our best attacker coming from deep but defensively Kane is a lot betterDabo is a better player than Kane. When he is back and fit,he will win his place back.

Think some of us forget just how good Dabo has been for us. Until his injury,he was one of the first names on the team sheet.
He has had some mamoth performances, he will come good again.
I don't think anyone has forgotten that, but he has also had no competition for his place over the last few seasons. Kane has what 5-6 assists (incl. The own goal v Peterborough) and a goal in a very short space of time, which cannot be ignored. Dabo needs to win back his place, it shouldn't automatically be his.Think some of us forget just how good Dabo has been for us. Until his injury,he was one of the first names on the team sheet.

Nah. Dabo has been great for us but Kane is just better.Dabo is a better player than Kane. When he is back and fit,he will win his place back.
In League 1 he was class. We're not in League 1 anymore.Think some of us forget just how good Dabo has been for us. Until his injury,he was one of the first names on the team sheet.

I don't think it's helped that he's had a number of injuries where he's been brought back into the team more quickly than he maybe should have been. He's still a decent player for us though, his general link up play with O'Hare in particular is very good.I'm not so sure, he seems to have lost pace - I think he is finding the Championship more difficult than we thought he would
He's fast and very comfortable on the ball could be a good shoutBidwell played behind Shipley Tuesday could Maatsen play Shipley’s role ?
If that transpires to be the case then I imagine Chelsea will be a little more reluctant to loan us young players in future. I think we bought in Bidwell as both a short-term fix (to cover for Maatsen during his injury) and as a long-term one (so we finally own a LWB), and I'm sure he's the starter next season. But Chelsea expect us to play Maatsen more weeks than not, and so long as he's in competitive form I would expect we do that, to protect our relationship with them if nothing else.
