  1. I haven't.... I will look. As I have said previously my favourite is Woody Harrelson's girlfriend (Alexandra Daddario) when he pays a late night visit in the first season of True Detective. Watching it with Mrs Chester was very uncomfortable as I waited for her to say 'Do you think she's nice looking...'
  2. Bloodline really didn't have enough storyline to extend far beyond 1 season IMO. I probably only progressed into season 2 as I fancy the pants of Linda Cardellini. Seen 4 or 5 episodes of Shogun. Fairly slow pace and the action scenes arent as brilliant as I expected, but conversely there is an awful lot of mileage in the storyline and could go in so many directions, so I'm quietly very impressed.
  3. Well your pre-match negativity came to fruition mate, so let's see what a back 4 can do... yesterday was very disappointing. Fact remains that I think if Waghorn scores we coast home, if Adams doesn't miss that sitter I think we win too. As it was, our 'percentage' football failed and we need to go again.
  4. Not sure it's failure to deal with pressure, but he definitely started the season clumsily and then really improved ...before being really tentative, sluggish and ultimately losing his head yesterday. Doesn't use his size in the opposition box as much as I'd hoped, less of a leader than Cashin/Nelson and worse on the ball than I feared. Ends all talk of a back 3 I guess now.
  5. Thought Waghorn really struggled to get into the game. Gave away free kicks, didn't hold up the ball well, doesn't go beyond the back line, missed a great chance. Washington was as bad and Collins will be as rusty as anything, so I'm not saying any are ideal... bit of a worry tbf.
  6. Thought Waghorn was pretty poor today. Washington barely touched it. Also forgot how many terrible dead balls we took and the ridiculous amount of offsides we give away... Hang on, I was trying to think about positives and it triggered more nightmares. Adams was really slack with his passing, Wilson just didn't get on the ball in the right position, Thompson reverted to energetic terrier chasing a balloon, CBT kept turning back onto his right foot.. even Cashin and Nelson were careless at times. The only positive is that when we have been this bad, we seem able to Jekyll and Hyde it and be good again next time.
  7. Limp, lacking in effort and skill, felt it like lasted all night without going anywhere and ultimately just left everyone feeling disappointed and frustrated. Anyway, enough about @Jourdan's nuptials, how bloody awful were Derby today!
  8. Horrible game. Just nothing went right. Bradley was so poor today, won't be missed on that showing. No intensity, no guile... I've been defensive of Warne's tactics but today there really was too much aimless hoofball. Passing across the back 3 to wing backs who were as deep as a full back would be.. launching it when we didn't really have out and out wingers who could take advantage. Sloppy passing. And brain-meltingly bad ref-ing. Pathetic s**t-housing, diving, staying down etc that was appallingly handled by the ref. Another really bad performance, similar to a few others. When we are bad, we are abject. Needs a massive change for the next 3 difficult games.
  9. Waghorn especially, and NML really not in the game. Too many aimless long balls down the line, from wing backs playing too deep. Goal has changed the game and we need to get back at it and commit more men. Too slow to release, sitting too deep, too much passing backwards, or turning backwards. Need to be better....and these are poor so it can be done.
  10. Missed 3 great chances. Was a foul for the goal and they score with their one attack. Somehow we are actually very unlucky... whlst still playing really poorly at times. Bradley not tight enough to his man for the cross. Whilst Northampton are giving us no room to cross.
  11. The team Warne has managed this year - so I'd ask you who knows most what they are talking about. Our away record is unbelievable, we barely concede a goal either. Everyone wants to go all out attack and thrash teams, that hasn't been his way and its worked away from home especially.
  12. I think it's a solid team. Northampton like to play football, let's earn the right, be strong early on and squeeze the life out of them. We don't want to concede and put pressure on ourselves. Think we will outwork them and then make changes if needs be. Plenty of width if we play with just 3 staying back. Let's not panic yet.
  13. As @sagehas succinctly suggested.. because he's been pretty useless when he's played. Off the pace and slow to track back.. Warne isn't going to allow luxury players at the best of times, never mind ones who are lazy to boot.
  14. Pretty hardworking bunch that. Adams, Thompson, Sibley... Two big strong forwards and 3 big centre backs. Kinda like it. Grind them into the dirt.
  15. Adams has been the key. Player of the Season contender for me if we go up.
  16. So eg of our starting team today : Cashin Nelson Forsyth Adams Smith Hourihane Ward Wilson Waghorn NML And..injury-free we could send out a change 2nd XI of... Niambe Bradley Rooney Elder Bird Thompson CBT Sibley Barks Collins Gayle With JJ, Fornah, Washington in neither team. For League 1 that is very good is it not?
  17. # We are Warne's 22... This time, more than any other time...#
  18. Must win. Get those points on the board or we may struggle. Tricky game v Blackpool and then a very tough game v Portsmouth. Wycombe have little to play for, but away that could be difficult. Then 3 easy games to finish. Just need to get to them and have breathing space and we can coast home. Massive game today....and each and every game now. Can't see it being anything other than Wildsmith, Cashin, Forsyth, Nelson again, with Adams is a shoe-in. NML plays. That's 6 definitely.. with 5 up for grabs. Guessing Smith too. Ward or Wilson, Sibs or Elder. Thompson or Hourihane. Barks or CBT .... Waghorn in a 2? Gayle, Collins, Bird, Washington, Niambe, Bradley all there or thereabouts... we have options, we have players coming back... ffs Derby just get this over the line and after a season of tight games we may actually be able to have a celebratory party last game with nothing riding on it.
  19. Chippy chips with beans on top, with loads of vinegar and salt is ace. On toast, I prefer beans n sausages. On a breakfast then I happy to let them loose, but posh enough to appreciate a pot.
  20. And your lyrics were what about his 'booty'??😬 What about using the 'Come on and join the conga' tune...? Obviously none of these will gain traction not least became they are 40year old songs... but I'm afraid I'm not a big Radio 1 fan 😉
  21. I like that he's a clever footballer yet he's also worked his way back from several career threatening injuries. Just does everything sensibly and without any drama. Ģood in the air, fast enough, can cross really well, will play any position. Yesterday he just covered the line and smashed into tackles, all without any fuss.
  22. There's a difference between it being a tight game and suggesting they were somehow robbed. It went as Warne planned. Hold them at arms length and hit them at pace or from a dead ball. We did that and then largely they created very little.
