Re: Safe already?

I maintain what I said at the start of the season: this 2024-5 squad was assembled with mid-table safety as the target. If anything, we're over-achieving a little.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Barrow

Did we actually switch to 4-4-2 when him and Hay came on? Just thinking, it might have caught Barrow by surprise because they may never have seen that before as nobody ever plays that way any more. Annoyed I missed it (recovering from a bad cold and ended up working, anyway...)

Re: Peterborough United v Cheltenham Town

If he hadn't completely mistimed a free header in the second half at Stevenage that was virtually an open goal, we'd have gone 2-1 up, probably won the game and so stayed in L1 - he'd have been forever a hero. As it is, I have to say the experiment has been a failure. Probably an expensive one, too.

Re: Six Nations 2025

That thing about not selecting overseas players is, I thought, an RFU policy and not a 'rule of the game' as such. I suspect the FA couldn't impose similar because both UEFA and FIFA would have a hissy fit. To be honest, there have always been some extremely technical rules regarding rucks and mauls...

Was discussing much the same with my wife during the England game, this afternoon. Ireland had an early try disallowed for an infringement on a player trying to leave the ruck. One of a few new rules, it seems.

Re: Cheltenham Town v Chesterfield

Didn't look a harsh yellow on the TV, to me... Thomas' foot was almost chest-high and the fouled player had to be helped off down the tunnel.

Conversely, there was a second-half body-check by one of our players about 10 yards outside our area which somehow went unpunished.

Re: Tom King

Big clubs can afford to take a gamble on a kid who may or may not make the grade in 4-5 years time. We can't - so unless the kid happens to be a one in a million like Wayne Rooney at 16, we need to cash out as soon as there's an offer.
