He had this strange habit of getting the ball outside the box and aiming it towards the opposition net, even when there was someone 10 yards to his left that he could pass to.  Just odd.

He scored 1 goal

Maybe he shouldve passed it more

Good point!  Fair enough he didn't score many for us.

You obviously don't count FA Cup goals 😀  - cracking volley at Palace in the replay (and played great in the first game).

I thought he was half decent for us. Scored that worldy against us for Wolves here too.

He contributed to the comecack at bradford

Point being, its not all its cracked up to be, shooting from 25 yards

Henry probably had the best career of all of that team after they left us. Was a really solid L1 performer for years.

Correct, you have to have players with the ability to do it first.

There's a balance to be had between keeping possession/passing etc, and having a pop every now and again, providing you have the ability.

I wouldn't expect Santos to shoot as much as Sneekes or Frandsen.

are the gammons OK with this?

So long as they don't take the knee when doing so. 

Some arm pumping to "staying alive" would be more appropriate.

Can just imagine tens of thousands of pissed up fans giving it large to Nelly the elephant for a full minute before kick off.

A sight to behold! 😁

Southend won on pens at FGR after a 2-2 draw AET.

They'll take a huge following to Wembley to play Oldham.

Unlucky York, they finished 23 points above Oldham and 28 above Southend!

No they won't!  Allocations restricted to 21.5k because Wembley Park station is closed.

Southend reckon they would have taken 35k.

Game should have been moved to a ground big enough.

They probably thought 40k-ish would be enough, and if FGR had got through it probably would have been.  Last year's attendance was 23k, even Notts Co v Chesterfield in 2023 was only 38k.

The delay seems odd, last year it was played on 5th May, this year 1st June.
