Rightly or wrongly, it wasn't hard to read in between the lines of Norwood's comments about "intelligence" and "wavelength" the other week. He's probably better with Stones as there's clearly something to work with, whereas he usually just looks miffed.
Gillingham away in the late 90s. Early doors in the season after no goal in the first 5 or 6 games. Went on my own as a 15/16 year old on Barlows. Must've been less than 100 and spent the whole game being abused by some loudmouth Mockney twat about my hair, acne and Pop Boutique cords. That was a long 90 minutes.
You can tell he had quality. Shame we didn't see more but he was clearly lacking match fitness and we couldn't afford a sustained period of time (and, for once, we've options). He'd defo be good at this level.
Stayed in the pub for that. Was 25 quid in, with nothing to play for, from memory, so watched it on the vidiprinter next door. Funnily enough... a mate used the same game for a numbers reference earlier
Remember a couple of sub 200s at Orient. Been 4 or 5 times and don't remember anything over 400. Good to be in the second round but it's not a new ground for most. If we take 700, it's a good turnout.
