Did I read somewhere that we had not won an Away Boxing Day fixture since 1967? Must be even longer in another Country. Time to rewrite the history books. 3-1 win for us.
True to form the one's who slated his silence are same one's slating him when he says something. More than likely the one's that whinged about Les, Bhatia and Hoos. No quarter given. Success must be immediate.
January will be interesting. The fact that we had to cancel Hayden's loan to get Ashby in shows there is not a lot of financial leeway. Possibly need to get Bennie, Santos and Dixon-Bonner out on loan but that doesn't do a great deal for the type of player/s the fans want. We are also going to find out if we can manage without Cook next season.
Ah the annual cry of making a senior player a coach. If Cook goes then you could renew the contracts of three or four those players at no extra cost. Cook is approaching the age when his legs could go ( bit like Andersen). Morrison is more than adequate to take over allowing for another younger player to come in. Same for Colback who is already showing injury susceptibility
That's why the tournament was split over three continents. It ruled them all out of applying. Will be interesting as to when it will be held as summer too hot and October/ November Ramadan is due.
Cook plays to a good standard every week but it's not just his age next season that is against him but his high wages. He is, reputedly, on double the wage of the second highest player. Computer says we could get another three Morrison type players for the money freed up. Colback is another who doesn't fit the current model.
Just got himself some friend to ask him some pre prepared questions to try to make his son rhe innocent party. Plus Harkouk only plated 20 games for us over 2 seasons and was pretty crap.
