Re: Are our players improving their technical ATTACKING skills?
I remember Ian Wright saying that whenever he had a dry spell goals-wise he would stay behind after training and just repeatedly belt the ball into an empty net from all angles and distances. If that was good enough for Wrighty..a goal-scoring fanatic...I hope Ashley and Woody are doing the same.

Re: Netflix / Prime recommendations
The third episode of The Serpent..which was on BBC1 2 nights ago...was one of the tensest bits of TV drama I've seen in a long time. Excellent.
I've started watching Spiral (French police drama set in Paris) on BBC iPlayer and so far...6 episodes in out of 80+...it's really good stuff.
