Is that the same pub that had the Putney Jolly Gardeners football team? They were handy back in the day, had some tasty clashes with them in my amateur football days
- For a lot of the first half we had them on the rack and it was a good end to end game, we weren’t there to park the bus and looked good doing it - If Dunne and Smyth were our starting right hand side we would maybe have won (they weren’t, but that’s a separate issue) - JCS did 90 minutes which is important, plus Frey and Colback are starting to look like they’re back in earnest, which bodes well for the second half of the season
Ultimately if Ashby hadn’t gifted them a goal at 1-1 and again at 2-3 I think that was a winnable game which is infuriating, but we weren’t battered at all, it didn’t feel like a 6-2 game
The last 20 mins without Field and Chair are a bit irrelevant as we’d given up by then
Having said that I wasn’t there, I might feel different if I’d trekked all the way up there in that weather
If he plays like he did last season, he's going to be a great signing for someone.
I agree I think we need to move on, we've got enough in central midfield now and other areas need sorting more urgently (not something I would have said two months ago mind you)
Always found it interesting that Matthew Rose was always a “Matthew”, never Matt or Matty. Must be unique in recent football
Amazing he made 250 appearances, just unfortunate for him it was when we were totally crap.
Has he had the Forever Rs treatment, sounds like he deserves it on that basis? Plus remember an amazing last minute winner against Brighton away when they played on that sports centre ground. How things change in 20 years
Personal special one for me was coming back from being abroad for a long time in 1993 and going to West Ham for my first game back see us beat them 4-0 with Les running rampant
If we’re loaning someone in at centre back we need a Ryan Nelsen / Steve Cook wizened old pro, no point taking a gamble on another kid who’ll just walk away in the summer anyway.
What’s Chris Mepham up to these days?
Or we need to start training Field to play more games at centre back, he’s looked good there
