We got away with it which is the main thing and bringing him and Madsen on felt like a move you make with the game won which it was certainly not. Madsen debate has been done to death but Ashby, for some ability, just lacks it between the ears for adult football it seems. Santos must be woeful to not be trusted from the bench with the players out. |

On the slow train back to York for my bed for the night.
They were both superb. Changed the whole mood of the match entirely. That first ten mins of the second half was as drab as the first and it looked like one of those grim scrappy 1-0 defeats was nailed on. Lloyd comes on and he’s all over them and it’s sticking up front. The centre-halves hardly dared go near him.
Saito’s goal was obscene it goes without saying but again was a great outlet, didn’t give it away, got in behind. All the good bits we’ve seen before coming together for 40 minutes of close to perfection.
Some negatives in the performance as a whole but tonight’s not one for thinking about them IMO. The vibe you get off this team isn’t one any of us get to see regularly and whether we finish sixth or sixteenth it’s a pleasure to follow them right now. |

On the flip side the benefits aren’t as good and I get much better coffee now. Life is far too short to take any business that isn’t yours too seriously. Die tomorrow and you’ll be forgotten in a month. Meh. |

The absolute bain of my life. Some really minor things where I work now require approval at a really senior level rather than just trusting people to get on with it. Anything that requires working with other markets, particularly Spain, is absolutely done on their ambiguous timelines/whenever they fancy getting round to doing their bit of it. Nobody ever wanting to be accountable for anything when it just needs someone/anyone in a particular team to make a call on it and we’ll never know what would have happened if they’d made the other call anyway.
I do miss working in smaller businesses in some ways though that comes with its own challenge. Megalomaniac owners, zero cash flow, cutting corners often etc. but you do get to the end of the week usually feeling like you’ve actually achieved something. |

I like him. He’s inherited a car crash and it’ll take time. It’ll take a lot of cash and time just to get rid of some of the absolute dross in that squad let alone build a team that plays the way he wants to consistently well. Did a cracking job at Sporting and this is a huge step up in terms of the difficulty of the role IMO but he’s the best chance they have.
Some of those players though. Antony, Sancho, Zirkzee, Casemiro. Staggering recruitment. |

The guy today has had a fair bit of criticism from their fans too I read. The first save from Frey was good even though the finish gave him a chance. The second was outstanding IMO. |

No issues at all the last two or three times I’ve been. Remember it being ridiculous when we got beat there midweek under Warnock but it’s one of the easier away days in many respects. A million miles from what it was even a decade or so ago. |

Half a chance Whittaker will be gone by the weekend but that’s looking unlikely now and he played last night so we’re essentially starting a goal down given he’ll score an overhead kick from 50 yards or something.
Still no sign of that Millwall ticket news…. |

Left Watford maybe a decade ago and the area entirely a couple of years ago. If I knew how to change my username I’d then realise I don’t care. |

Take her out on the 15th when everywhere is dead versus a normal Saturday. Box of Milk Tray and some petrol station flowers should tide you over til then. |

Not really worth a new thread but was hoping Millwall tickets would go on sale this week as I need to get one for Hull too. Guess it’ll be Monday. |

We’re due to play Boro midweek in March. Would be nice if that could be moved to the fourth round weekend. |

Loved it. I’m pretty sure the Prem teams would do away with the domestic cups altogether if they could.
Bromley giving Newcastle an early scare too. |

I don’t think anyone has said that. The stats are going to put him on teams’ radars. We had a look and decided he was worth £3m or so and a long, presumably lucrative contract. Nobody else as far as I know did. |

The same algorithm we bought him off the back of despite every man and his dog deciding against him after watching him play. |

Clearly today was awful but as cover he’s improving (not great but not a disaster in recent games). Not in our best XI but he’s a big step up from Santos. |

We’re one of the form teams in the league. Losing with a weakened side at Leicester doesn’t really make a difference to our chances of getting something at Plymouth or any other team in our dross league. |
