Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
On the assumption that you are double jesting, I will simply say (for the benefit of anyone not seeing it that way) that Xavier Simmondsohn is an Englishman born in Hammerschmidt and, as someone remarked a while ago, he bears a passing resemblance to Aaron Morley (or Morely if you prefer).

Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
Great post.
I’m fairly sure that a projection forward to the end of the season of results/goals scored per game since Christmas would put us below the automatics but probably still in the playoffs. That ties in with what I said immediately in the wake of Matt Bloomfield’s departure - ie that we would falter for a while as the squad adjusted to change (not least the need to integrate new signings) but that they would gel in time to do well in the playoffs.

Hillsborough inquest - wheels of justice finally grinding into motion?
Obviously not specifically WWFC related (which is why I assume this hasn't been mentioned yet during the day on here), but the judgement that the 96 Liverpool supporters who died at Hillsborough were killed unlawfully is a massive one for football supporters around the world. For years the families of the dead, the survivors and other football supporters who campaigned alongside them did their best to expose the cover up but came up against the closed ranks of the establishment time and time again, year after year.
Their struggle has taken on a much wider and important significance beyond football and must give hope and inspiration to many others who have to battle against all odds against the establishment to get justice served.
RIP and justice for the 96
Re: Match Day Thread: Crawley
I have facts, which I have tried to summarise as much as I can.
I’m happy to share precise details in person, not in a public forum.
I have no feeling for anyone in this matter other than Matt Bloomfield who has been treated extraordinarily badly.

Re: New signings - what is their fitness like?
We have signed 3 likely starters in the window. Norris, Simons and Sonny or Taylor ( if classed as a new signing) we have also increased the squad depth with the others signed.
We had a team in second place, we were never going to change it completely. But 3 is still a lot of change.
