  2. From a Northampton review on their site off a Bratfurd fan from last season... "What you thought on seeing the ground, first impressions of away end then other sides of the Sixfields Stadium? I'm not very keen on these out of town stadiums. My only lasting impression of Northampton's ground is if you ever played them on the last day of the season and needed three points to win the title and only got 1000 tickets 8000 could still stand outside for free and see three quarters of the pitch!" Tailor made review for us that!!
  3. As an established yet reappearing member of this wonderful forum, I'm glad to announce I've ordered mine!!! Hashtag Briefs is back...
  4. Fane has been fantastic of late, Gardner and Byrne are as good as we've had for many a year. Fane allows that to happen, Wellens has given them all a new lease of life and Fane is benefitting hugely. If you can't see that, it's representative of your knowledge not his!! Long live Fane!!
  5. Welcome back Futchersbriefs... That was awful today, not going to be too technical, but Sheridan changed his shape and side against the wrong team. Players in wrong position a plenty and too many players looking up to others who aren't up to it - worrying signs early on. A good manager would see it is wrong, change it and be brave, I worry that Shez is too stubborn to do that! Lots of players with shoulders and heads down so early on in the season - it was crap!
  6. My username is a memory to the great Ron Futcher, so a likkle bit more respect please fellow owtbers
  7. I'm not convinced that being able to 'carry the ball forward' once every 20 minutes are the right ingredients to get us out of this mess, Winchester doesn't looked to have improved his application or desire since first breaking through, for me he's not good enough in this predicament. Cassidy and Murphy gave us nowt first half, lost their first 12 headers between them and when we finally got the ball into them, it pinged off their boot or shin. I thought the back 3 played well considering new formation, wing backs were lacking - no surprise as they're not wing backs. Coleman dealt with most things well enough and barring the goal, it was good to see a tics keeper come and deal with balls into his box - made 2 v good saves second half when coming out to block. Sending off spoiled a certain goalless draw, I'm far from convinced it was a red, but no other player in a blue shirt would have made that challenge in that area of the pitch - so possibly no coincidence either. Felt for Jones and Kelly, whom got through a tremendous amount of work.
  8. Tough times call for resilience and tough characters. On and off the pitch this is needed, those ON the pitch will be found out and those OFF the pitch likewise. If you think abusing your players, manager and board is the way forward, then get off the bus. Support is dwindling, but you're not support. Those players not up for the job likewise. I'm not going at the minute as I put my resilience into a local amateur football team, but my team don't deserve kegged up buffoons making things worse!
  9. Tactics and performances like that at home will finally see us get out of this division! Square pegs in round holes, Rasulo, B Wilson, Philliskirk, Poleon, side far too narrow and any side setting up 'not to lose' inevitably will deserve to lose!
  10. Not all obviously, but some yes!!An almost unwelcoming, negative tone to a number of questions that does nobody any good in the end.
  11. Not pretending!! and if I was technically capable would go back to the various debates and requote where I did state that he had the attributes to go on and play at a higher level - How people could write off such a young, inexperienced player off at such an early stage was far more of a slight on them than my judgement of potential and attributes. So yes, I did say he would go on and do well! As you were....
  12. So 63% wish him to be gone in 4 games latest? You can go to all of the games you like, but you are far from supporting the club!! No patience, No idea, No more posts for a while again!
  13. Had a nostalgic evening, re-logging into here and realising why I logged off a bit ago...re-reading posts of those who believed that Smith was useless and 'good from the bench' and Wellens and Whitaker debate...hahaha great memories from some of our great unwashed!
  14. Great to listen to a real football manager, a coach and football specialist, rather than a PC football manager who presses a button when he needs to pick a footballer!! At the start of last season I heard comments of how ':censored:' Liam Kelly and Mike Jones were, I'm seeing and hearing the same about our manager. Poor, Ill-informed short term judgement - stop the criticism and give him your support. I thought many of the questions aimed at Darren last night were both thoughtless, not needed and provoking a response, rather than projecting and supporting the manager of our football club. Not once did I hear our 'off the field' grafters back and support our manager in a positive manner...sometimes the small things are the ones that count!! As for questioning him about Barry Owen???? Ridiculous! Welcome back FB!!???
  15. Ok. Ryan Giggs (formerly Wilson) Aidy Mike, for Oldham Boys David May, Jason Wilcox - FA Youth cup for Chadderton And as I'm now rapidly approaching knackers yard limits, only 4 weeks ago had the pleasure of playing against Paul Scholes for an hour - class, class, class. Oh and Craig Dudley!! A smattering of others I'm sure over the 27 years of playing!
  16. With Wheelie bin collections only every fortneet, I suggest we ease off the 'binning' and start 'backing'
  17. By the way, if any of you have half of the talent, a quarter of the ambition and an eighth of the desire, do like Smith did - Get off your arse and achieve the dream - He's done that!!!
  18. Watching this dross struggle week in, week out and the clueless buffoons are having a pop at Smith!! Stick to Champ manager fellas!!
  19. What an excellent original post. Full of thought, balance and a view outside of what many blinkered football fans could conjure up. Good read.
