Sensible food intake works, I'm a meat and 2 veg man myself but balance it with a malt, barley and hops intake. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Didn't have enough time, though, yesterday to make his impact but, again, you could clearly see he ruffled them for sure. Half hour as an impact sub for me in games like yesterdays. He was just coming on when we scored. He was sent to sit down again, so he would have been on 8 or 10 mins earlier. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No prizes dished out if you don’t, and the best chance of winning them is being the best team in them, and god knows how many points behind that we are That's not strictly true. It's an extra game (at least) and it's on TV. That money might buy another player for next season. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

His forward pass to Kitching for the goal opened them up for us. Hogan should be the one dropped. He can’t play out from the back. That forward pass is superb. It opens them up but is also the perfect weight so Kitching can cross first time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Obviously that will be very dependent on who we play and where but a home playoff game could easily see 8000, if not 10,000. That's a fair few coppers in the kitty.

But no one every says how far we are behind getting a home game in the playoffs, it’s always the last place, which would mean two away games to get to final. No one has finished seventh and gone up, so we need to be aiming as higher than that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wee Bobby Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Little more.L. I probably thought the same when I was in my 50s. But now 78(this week) and am having a good time(except for Latics league posistion). 2 knees and a hip replacement and still playing table tennis in local league at the top level and ranked at 52 in uk in my age group. Only 2 lbs heavier than at 21. I want some more time if possible. But who knows. Just hoping we can get back to 3rd tier before it's my time. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

andy_b_100 Posted November 13, 2023 Share Posted November 13, 2023 Back to the match !! I thought we improved as the game went on, however I turned to my mate after the couple of early chances went begging and said .... 20-25 mins they will have one shot and score ... and lo .... thans to the ref they had their one shot... and scored. Once we were in chasing the game more I felt the frustration as we were keeping possesion and passing without probing. I thought Reid was having a bit of a mare but as he was about to be replaced he bangs one in (did what hes paid for). I wasnt surprised when Norwood was subbed, he was quite innafective. Willoughby did well but didnt do what he was paid for by not scoring and Fondop was ok and almost scored with his first kick .... I wasnt pleased with the result but I wasnt upset either ....... Boong Shelton on to a football pitch is plain stupid ... its just ... stupid ... booing at full time for no reason ... well I just cant imagine what makes you tick Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It happened twice to my mum in Saddleworth, up to three feet deep, although that was largely due to the incompetence of the canal authority. She now lives in a top floor apartment halfway up a hill.

Boong Shelton on to a football pitch is plain stupid ... its just ... stupid ... booing at full time for no reason ... well I just cant imagine what makes you tick The one thing that is glaringly obvious to me and has been a constant for as long as I can remember is the total lack of movement off the ball. When in possession we have 9 players without the ball and I guarantee 6 or 7 will be strolling around or even stood still and Kitching is one of the biggest culprits. The options for the player in possession are almost nonexistent and therefore results in a aimless hoof upfield or a backward or sideways pass at best and is the main reason we have a lack of penetration throughout the team. The higher up the leagues you go the better the movement seems to be but IMO that’s not essentially a skill, I think it’s more to do with mindset, having the fitness and having the desire. We have been keeping the ball a little better but generally our players are not taking responsibility and too many are simply coasting through games. What was it Curle said, if we can’t change the players, we’ll have to change the players? Edited November 13, 2023 by oafc1955 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
