Best Of

I think the digression to Dell and Bell possibly clouded my comment! I also liked them both and they were decent players.

But most of our better attacking play came when Simpson/Bulman spread the ball to Currie/Roberts/Brown on the wings. They weren’t players that would pick the ball up and drive or glide past people. Back in the day I felt we missed that extra bit of ingenuity and class that would’ve taken a good side to a great side. Now we have it, and it’s magnificent.

That’s my ham fisted point :D.

I absolutely adored Darren Currie

I always stick to second names so I don't have to worry when I'm shouting 'Go on Humpty pass it to Cluedo...'

Talking of “Lommy”, this rather lengthy interview may be of interest to more business oriented Gasroomers like @StrongestTeam. I only managed about ten minutes.

I agree with your assessment on Udoh but I don’t want to rewatch his shot from last night when he shanked it into the terrace! I say it in jest of course, and I’m hoping we actually haven’t seen the best from Udoh yet.

Possibly less ‘upgrade’ and more ‘succession planning’. We have two capable lads who are yet to reach their prime in Jasper and Back, plus Kodua as a potential back up RB if we sign him on a permanent in the summer.

A few hours, and 20 years late but that's very harsh on two pretty good ball players, I got the impression Adams wasn't overly impressed with attitudes when he cleaned them all out, not that he had the first clue about management, but Simpson really was pretty cultured. Sergio was around that period too.

Not that it's any kind of contest but our dryest periods in recent times probably include the bit just before Adams took us down, anything Lambert related, when Waddock was buying Aldershot reserves and if we're being uncharitable then the Gaz period with Thompson and Hayes on his last legs probably just before Bayo arrived.

Thanks for sharing, I am interested, less because he works in a similar industry to me, and more because initially when he was linked and took over there was almost nothing out there online directly from him. But the content does look a bit dull and it's late, will maybe have another look at some other point.

I'm not sure everyone else is the same by the way but I don't really have a problem with him not being around, I kind of assumed from the outset that he is bankrolling someone else's dreams / masterplan.

I’d have to disagree with your comment about Shrewsbury and the Birmingham clubs. Birmingham is 40 miles as the crow flies from Shrewsbury. Within 40 miles we have 20 league teams and 12 Premier/Championship teams within 32 miles, plus the transport links in to London.

Though I would undoubtedly find that far more entertaining than the usual website fare...it would in all honesty alarm me a bit.
