Ah, but Scales IS 56 innit. I had to look that up of course. I don't remember him making any match day squads, let alone seeing him play. EDIT : hang on, Blooters said 53 innit.... ignore me and carry on... #goingbacktosleep [Post edited 10 Aug 2022 16:36]

Probably. One of the more ineffective signings here. |  |

Can't really blame Harper.... on 20:13 - Aug 10 with 748 views | ibbleobble |
Can't really blame Harper.... on 07:33 - Aug 10 by Bloots | ....if he hadn't made that cock up then we would have just lost on penalties instead. You could argue that Humphreys was just as much to blame for not being able to hit the target from 7 or 8 yards, same for TJJ, etc, etc. It's not really a case of being right, it's a case of it being so obvious that the fact it hasn't been addressed is frustrating. We constantly hear the same lines being trotted out about how strong the squad is and how many goals there are in the team, neither of which are currently true. We just lost to a team with Chambo, Skuse and Nouble in it! They even had the cheek to rest Judge and Sears. Not good enough, and saying it's not good enough isn't a crime. |
Agreed and an uppie from me. This has been an unsatisfactory start as the same problems we had this time last year under Cook and at the tail end of last year under KM are evident. Our inability to turn dominance into victories and naivety in defence to spurn momentum still persists. Wolfenden’s gift against Morecambe last year and Penney’s clumsy back track at Burton and now Leif’s clumsy challenge against Bolton and Harper’s howler last night are a year apart but evidence of the same mental fragility. 4 points from 2 games we’ll take but it’s been underwhelming. A defeat at home to Col U, the first in 70-years is unacceptable. [Post edited 10 Aug 2022 21:39]

Having seen what happens, my friends sister being killed by a drink driver, I have absolutely zero time for anyone that does it, allows it, gets in a vehicle with a drink driver etc. |  | |  |

It wasn't really Scales' fault, just that Titus Bramble surpassed all expectations in 2001-02. Had he not then Scales would likely have played more. Good TWTD column though. |  |

Sure. Ineffective was a poor choice of words. Unneeded. Er, in hindsight. Etc. :) |  |

We could have done with an experienced central defender the following season when Titus had an inconsistent season and Venus and McGreal spent most of it backing off from every bloody attacker going. |  |
