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
I’m in the same boat with my two - they’ve seen some right dross in their first few games. Thank God for Jimmy Dunne and the Preston game which seems to have bought some more time!
Given Jimmy Dunne snuffed out their best player in the home game, why move him to centre back? Marti’s selections are sometimes impossible to understand
Without Cook and Morrison we suddenly look weak as piss
I reckon the Norwich game will be tasty - they seemed a surprisingly nasty bitter team and was surprised at their lack of discipline at our’s. Shame Cook will be out it seems, his type of game, but will be a good test of our new defensive spine. Field seems to be stepping up in the shithouse stakes and I hope we batter them again.
Some really great performances in that game - Smyth, Varane, Morgan - but Jimmy Dunne was fkin immense.
I think we need to come to terms with him as weird hybrid of right back and target man centre forward and credit Marti with inventing a brand new position
He’s been brilliant in this mini revival and deserves a lot of credit.
Yes his final ball is erratic but if it wasn’t - as the saying goes - he wouldn’t be playing for us.
But he’s just scored a goal from 50 yards to win us a point in a game where we were getting battered, he set up the crucial equaliser today and ran Preston so ragged they changed their defence at half time, his defensive work is tireless and he’s a good lad.
The option of him, Saito, Chair and Dembele running at defences for 90 mins as starters and off the bench is pretty exciting. And Smyth deserves to start on his performances right now
