I know its an opinions games but at times i find it extraordinary what grown adults see when they watch a football match at Boundary Park. It was me of course who wanted to try Eardley in midfield, like when he smashed a brilliant goal with either foot at Crewe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

boundaryblue80 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 1 hour ago, HarryBosch said: I know what you're saying but I wonder if fullback is a position where you can look poorer than you are at our level through having to do so much and being constantly exposed through lack of support that you'd get at a higher level/in a better side? I'm not Dummigan's biggest fan either but I wouldn't be at all surprised if he was a regular in a Championship side 2 or 3 years from now. Like Grounds and Eardley. Neither of them looked like world beaters for us but, in hindsight, were clearly better than us... I never ever got the Eardley bashing. Really puzzled me that one. Must admit, I didn't see Grounds carving a career at a higher level though. Dummigan CAN have a very good game but they're very rare. And sometimes, he has the odd decent game. That's not in doubt. He can also be poor and sometimes, like at Bury, be dreadful too though. I don't agree with managers calling players out but the last 2 managers have both called him out this season (Walsall away and Shrewsbury "back-heel" away.) Those were for bad decisions on the ball that led to goals. My biggest concern is his inability to put tackles in and just back off and back off. Bury had a field-day with him...one of which led to Placide pulling a tidy save over the ball after Dummigan failed to tackle, then let his man go round him and cut into the box. It happens nearly every game...some games we get away with it, some we don't. I've even seen Byrne drop deeper to help him out at times. People can say he doesn't get enough protection from players infront if they like, but I'm talking about 1 on 1 situations and on the ball. He's not done enough for me this season and I'd like to see Hunt given a run of games. Probably won't happen but I can keep on hoping for it.

Dummigan is awful defensively imo, not seen much to suggest otherwise. He can be very good going forward, though, so I’d consider giving him a run of games on the wing if/when we’re safe.

rigsby Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Well all joking aside i would love to see a game with the old orange ball.. Remember some great times in the 80s chucking snowballs at oppo keepers.. Watford1981 Blackburn 1981 Blackburn 1985 ( i think) Bradford 1986 fa cup Pussies cancel matches for a dusting these days..

I agree with you. It's only one night of frost, which shouldn't be a problem. When the Southend game was called off we had had several nights of much colder temperatures than it's going to be tonight. The snow won't be a problem as it can be swept off the covers and won't be too slippery outside the ground. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well I have it on very good authority that there is no way the game will be on. If not frost, then snow or possibly rising damp. I've arranged to go shopping for wardrobe handles in IKEA tomorrow afternoon. Won't even bother checking for the confirmation it's off.

Ritchierich Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 My understanding is the game will be on until 3 minutes before kickoff at which point George aka Topoff will stand bollock naked in front of the 1000 Pompey fans and announce that the game has been postponed and they are being kept in the stadium for 45 minutes for their own safety ?

boundaryblue80 Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 I was convinced the MK scum game was going to be off on Feb 13th. Was -1 that Tuesday night. Really could go either way this. Next few hours will be interesting to see how soon the snow hits and how heavy it is. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flemboy Posted March 16, 2018 Share Posted March 16, 2018 Just seen the latest forecast for the weekend which isn't good.Looks like snow tonight and freezing and same for Sunday. Really hope it's wrong since this is a game we can win and Sunday I'm off to see the Hollies at the Lowry.I live up in them tha hills above Oldham and just prayer that I can get to both.
