    Dethorn reacted to brady1993 in Super subs or starters?   
    In the last two games the combination of movement, pressing and ball retention from Lawrence, Knight and Jozwiak are a major part of why we've firmly taken control over the games at hand. With CKR, Ebosele and Morrison all coming on when the opposition has already been run ragged to battle against tiring player where their physicality (in the first two cases) and having more time  on the ball in Morrison's case can make a more telling contribution.
    They wouldn't have been as effective from the start and if they started we'd have probably not got as firm a foothold on the games in question.

    Dethorn reacted to England Ram in Max Bird   
    For me it is really telling that he has so much more confidence in Thompson to take hold of the ball and not lose it compared to Shinnie. I love Shiniesta, but technically he has been found wanting a few times.
    You can see Bird and Thompson happy to receive the ball and play it around the opposition mids, along with Knight when he is in there.
    This has helped Max move on another level with a better player around him.

    I know what you mean, but it was so important that we did not lose this game and let Reading get 14 points ahead instead of 11.

    Colin and Curtis are solid gold in the post-match.

    That could just be the biggest point of the season so far. Reading still in sight and keeps our little run going. 
     
    Lose this game and could have been lights out.

    I liked the moment where Franny Lee took a smack to the lip, and calmly waited 10 seconds, probably more, before giving Norman Unter the pasting he always so richly deserved.

    I think this is a late addition to the Sky schedule, so maybe not updated elsewhere yet?

    Dethorn reacted to Comrade 86 in Fozzy   
    Think after 3 knee ops he clearly isn't comfortable getting turned around and this season has looked panicky when that scenario arises. That said, I can't help but love the guy, even if his very best days might be behind him, as he'd run through walls for this club and anyone with the strength of character to undergo 3 lots of ACL physio has my full and unqualified respect. I also thought he was bloomin excellent yesterday.

    Not allot of senior goals in the entire club, so I don't know who you were expecting to see?

    Dethorn reacted to Taribo in Petition to not petition to strip Mel of his CBE   
    I get the anger at him getting to walk away scot-free from this mess he's created (albeit £200MILLION of his own money lighter) but c'mon he's not Pol Pot, he's not embezzled or even done anything remotely illegal. Perhaps slightly immoral as it's put jobs at risk/forced redundancy.
    The MBE was for services to business and charity, he's not exactly demanded all his charity money be repaid to him. This business (already loss making when he bought it and funded by his own money) has failed undoubtedly but that does not erase his past contributions to other business?
    The petition to strip his CBE from him is petty and misguided and the small minority who have actually signed it tars the entire fanbase with looking like spoilt children.

    Poom and Eranio were probably better players than Igor (maybe, statswise, I dunno, anyway..), but for me it was Igor being the start of something and so immediately* so incredibly instrumental. 
    That impact by one player won't be replicated for me, although probably heavily coincides with me being 11 at the time and just getting into football.

    Leicester of course just continued to cheat and did very well out of it. Avoiding any points deductions.
    A club now lorded as the plucky little underdog who made it big.
    A truly detestable club. Their bin robbing fans refuse to acknowledge the complete cheating bastary employed in their rise from div 3.

    People's true wealth is rarely in the public domain. If he gets to buy us he will have presumably satisfied EFL and Administrators re funds. I think we are just all really scarred and cynical due to Mel and other potential buyers.
