Re: ARTICLE: Under-21s enjoy another good week

There's a car park on the left just before you get there. There's one inside too but not always spaces available. I'm expecting, hoping, the game will be on the top pitch given I've then got a rail to lean on even if you can't see part of the pitch for the dug outs. Thanks Tony. I’ve just checked o...

Re: Zeki Amdouni Shot Accuracy

If we saw more of the ball and had a stronger midfield there’s no doubting he’s a great player. Agree with others that he doesn’t put enough of a shift in but his main weakness is that he’s not strong enough.

Would love to see him destroy the Championship next season.
