Darnhill Claret

I think it would be a good idea to get the spelling correct, on the thread header, as this one could linger. I'm sure there are people on here who could add the 'a'.
Just a matter of basic respect really.

Darnhill Claret

I like the way we are progressing each game. City was a setback,but not a total surprise. Parker has made several tactical and personnel changes, starting and on the bench. Like last season, match fitness has been an issue. I hoped we would beat S'land and get something from Forest and fingers cross...

Darnhill Claret

Similar with Tuanzebe and Humphreys. When we get a few more points on the board, we'll all be able to relax a bit more, and Parker won't be under as much scrutiny.

Darnhill Claret

We have to remember that Foster has had to carry the team up front, through the middle. Broja has had barely any preseason and to a lesser extent Flemming had an injury which curtailed his preseason. Hopefully in another 10/11 days those two will have caught up with their fitness and will be able to...

Darnhill Claret

That was his 'monster' season. Not sure he'll ever repeat that. Parker allowed him to roam free when we had possession, to trust his instincts.
He'll probably never get that freedom again.

Darnhill Claret

Have to say, that was an excellent strike.

Darnhill Claret

Oh well.

Darnhill Claret

We are playing a more attacking game by employing a high press, which meant we played more in their half than usual. As a result our whole team moved higher up the pitch than we have recently.It means our midfield can be bypassed a little easier, and our back line was caught too wide for their goal....

Hi Steve, just need to correct my final game. It should read Brentford 2 Man City 2

Cheers.

I knew a Stuart Throup from Burnley. Don't suppose there's any connection?

Darnhill Claret

Best wishes Clive, to yourself, your family and to everyone in the locality.

Darnhill Claret

We should have had a penalty. Blatant two handed push in the back from one of our long throws.
VAR should have intervened.

There wasn't many positives to take from Tuesday night, so I had to find a couple of straws to clutch hold of. It came down to levels of fitness, and Broja and Tresor, both looked considerably fitter and stronger than in the previous round. Broja's touch was better but not good enough to get him on ...

Darnhill Claret

But we aren't fannying around at the back in the Prem games, so why we did it so poorly again last night is hard to understand.

Darnhill Claret

There shouldn't be a queue!!

Darnhill Claret

From the whole team last night there was no urgency at all in the first half. They had a clear plan to overload down their left, our right. We didn't respond to that strategy. In the second half Hannibal pulled his finger out. If others did, they weren't very effective doing it, so that when Tresor ...

Just been the once. Wigan v St Helens, cracking game. Just realised it was almost/about 40 years ago. Shaun Edwards era.

Darnhill Claret

But still performed better than anyone else, or so enough people thought.

Darnhill Claret

Hardly a derby, couldn't be much further apart.

Darnhill Claret

No, he was the best player last season.

Darnhill Claret

Get the engine room right and the rest will take care of itself.
I think that we are getting closer to being truly competitive.

Darnhill Claret

We are only 6 points off second place.

Darnhill Claret

Last time I saw him on TV, it looked and felt like age was catching up with him. Might be the last chance to see him before he stops touring and don't be too critical if he seems to forget his lines, etc.

Darnhill Claret

Big wage, quality of professional life, where you feel valued.

Darnhill Claret

Bournemouth also showing that players can be replaced if you have your finger on the button. (Strange phrase).

Darnhill Claret

11 changes.

Darnhill Claret

Never hid, kept working hard, led by example.

Darnhill Claret

Steadily improving, more to come.

Sorry Steve, should be Div 2.

First week with no weight loss. I suspect that I am now on the placebo, but I've had enough of a kick start to continue this, positively. Currently at 14-10, up 1lb on last week, my first weekly increase in 13 weeks. Appetite needs to be better controlled and I need to make a greater personal effort...

I knew a Pennington from Burnley, sometime between 94 and 99.

Darnhill Claret

Mid sixties, Greaves and Law. They would have had success in any era. A man who almost had it all, except maybe mental strength, Martin Chivers. Great headers of the ball, more than made up for some other weaknesses, Ron Davies, Wyn Davies and Tony Hately. Malcolm Macdonald, Alan Shearer, Didier Dro...

Excellent news from the doctor today. Blood tests done last week.
As a result of reduced readings re diabetes, my metformin has been reduced by half.
Next blood test in 3 months.

Gravy has to be black, not brown.
Can't understand people who really rate KFC gravy. Yuk.

Tell that to Kane and Lewandowski.

North Wales Police are very hot on speeding.

I thought he was very unlucky to get a second yellow, as although it was a clear foul, there was very little physical contact, more just a question of impeding the player. Had it been given as a red, I'm sure there would have been a successful appeal.

Darnhill Claret

Mad_tony_c, are you psychic by any chance. Just impressed by your random numeracy!!

Darnhill Claret

You only need to watch question time.

Darnhill Claret

How we move on from today will be compelling viewing, especially if we can manage to progress our steady improvement, and turn performance into points.

Darnhill Claret

Wow, well done Pearcey, especially for reaching your target. Have a great day next Saturday.
2lbs per jab will do it then.

Darnhill Claret

So which of the two of you is correct??

Darnhill Claret

Where is VAR when you need it??!!

Darnhill Claret

What does it matter where fans of any team are from, or are we just envious that the 'bigger' clubs have more fans from outside their individual catchment areas.

Darnhill Claret

The first positive is that we never attempted to play our goal kicks short, through our penalty area. I think, everyone of them went long.
That meant that we immediately nullified one of Liverpool's major threats.
Also relieved the pressure on our defenders.
