And hogarths is far from being the nearest pub to the station

Almost like they had planned a trip

I thought Darcy was great yesterday and thinking about it a lot of that was link up play with Verlinden TBF

Could Politic not do the Verlinden role?

Before you shoot me down I’m asking not telling 

Yes i think he could. Good shout.

Been told this morning that lowe may have been exacting some revenge for something done to one of the younger players earlier, probably Darcy.

Whatever the case, he should know better.

As for verlinden, I thought yesterday was one of his better games, a good outlet and had some end product. Better when chicksen was behind him.

After the sending off, the situation became different, and one of the wider attackers needed to make way.

Unfortunately, Graham didn't make much of an impact.

[Tungsten3]

Graham was completely off the pace.

He seemed to be marking empty space and didnt seem to close down or tackle much.

Its almost like he took a direction from management to sit in front of defence literally.

Hope we have someone else in for burton albion

Could Zouma not do the holding midfield role, similar to what Faye did back in the day?

Sickening.

Interesting. 

Maybe he could do it and it might be worth a try.

What's the worst that can happen? 😎

Verlinden's certainly not without his faults, that's probably why he's with us.

Ani's right though, he's our best outlet and once he went off we didn't have one, meaning they could push forward without having any concerns of being countered.

Verlinden's worried every right back he's come up against and allows Chicksen to come forward and contribute to attacks because he's occupying defenders. End product may need work but he scored yesterday and put one on a plate for Murphy. Tracking back could be better but so could Dodoo's at times.

I like him, he provides excitement and if the alternative is a fit Will Buckley I'll stick with him thanks

What was Buckleys injury does anyone know?

He's been out a long time.

Hairline fracture of the kneecap, he's out of contract in January, hopefully, KH will fook him off!

In fairness he was a different player under hill until he got injured.

Again, if we've got anyone else lined up more reliable then fine. If not, might as well keep him on the books.

I must admit, not a Buckley fan, but if KH can get the best out of Buckley, he can stay, see what happens.

I'm pretty sure he didn't get beyond 5 hours under hill, so any judgements would be a tad premature

They were the best few hours we'd seen though!

Re the incident in West Stand the chap shouting at Lowe did go over the top, but the 3 guys who were sitting next to me were unbelievably aggressive. I am surprised the stewards didn't come in earlier. At the end they were still threatening the guy at the back. They were a disgrace. 

Looked around on hearing the commotion, saw you and junior and thought neighborhood has gone right downhill

And plaster of Paris, few bones got done too yon man with dog told me.

A bit of an odd boost, but nevertheless seemed the right thing to do.

In this thread, I mentioned the old chap who sustained a broken hip after the game- slipping on ice.

I received a call which I missed- no signal here- from his wife.

Sadly, he passed away earlier this year. 

Went to see him a couple of times after his fall and he was ok.

Lovely old couple, and another Wanderer gone.

Sad to hear Jacket, condolences to his family but it happens to so many during the bad weather and not just the old.

Of course, though the two events are almost 5 years apart.

It was simply one of those events that sticks with you, and I'll always remember him, and his wife.
