    Wow, can you imagine getting Will back....

    I have always been convinced that this would happen one day. Perhaps not yet though. He’s still only 28.

    A Seth Johnson-esque return to get us promoted to the Prem would be magical, even if it’s in another 4 or 5 years. At least he would find it easy to fit back in, knowing that a 93-year-old Fozzie was always in space and available for an out ball on the left, zimmer frame notwithstanding.

  2. I’ll shed an actual tear (or two) when he finally leaves us. He is still a link to that amazing second half of the 13/14 season, which was as enjoyable as anything I can remember (going back to early 80s). But he has also been that reassuring presence throughout the dark times, ten(?) managers and countless left backs, all inferior. Still quality, still a Ram.

    PG Wodehouse from the directors box.


    Ah, the evening’s contest at Pride Park unfolded with the gusto of a Shakespearean drama, as the gallant Rams, akin to valiant knights of yore, emerged triumphant amidst a pitch reminiscent of a canvas painted by the mischievous spirit of Brian Clough himself, urging the fire brigade to partake in an impromptu aquatic ballet ere the commencement of play. With Gayle’s finishing akin to the deft stroke of a master calligrapher, guided by a slide rule pass from the erudite Ward, who, one might surmise, holds not only the skills of a footballer but also the acumen of a learned mathematician, perhaps even boasting a degree in Trigonometry! And lo, as Hourihane dispatched the penalty with the finesse of an expert gamekeeper, one could envision him in tweed, calmly dealing with a pheasant in the countryside. Yet, amidst the jubilation, a brief moment of consternation ensued as Bradley, towering as a mighty oak, found himself outwitted by the nimble Smith, prompting a fleeting shadow of doubt. However, the benevolent Referee Breakspear, in an act of contrition for his prior transgression against Plymouth, showered cards upon the field like confetti, and in his wisdom, awarded the penalty that secured victory, leaving the vanquished Reading manager Selles resembling a gentleman who, having imbibed deeply from the cup of life, discovered naught but a lifeless beetle at its dregs. Now, the bobble-hatted Warne stands poised to confront what is heralded as the automatic promotion decider come Saturday, urging his valiant troupe to display their mettle and prove their worth upon the grand stage of sport. Truly, a spectacle of both triumph and tribulation, fit for the annals of sporting lore!

    Not sure about PGW, but that has a definite air of Stuart Hall about it…

    Phew! That narrow win absolutely needed seeing as all the others in contention won also.Thought we were very slack once Reading red card.Ref had massive impact on that result. Vital match now v Bolton they've closed the gap on the goal difference...I'll settle for a similar ref and result on Satday!

     

    Reduced, but not closed...
