It WAS a close game. I didn't think it was good in the sense of being high-standard. A draw would have been fair.
I notice good ole Jamie Hewitt gave Akinola MOM too. He shone.
Albanian dads obviously don't beat their children enough. Dobra is being a brat and I'm a fan of his talent. He's good, better than anything Notts had on show, but you could hardly blame a full back for kicking him straight over the stand at times.
Tooley, who I often agree with, thinks Jones provided stability. What stability? We were very shaky at the back and Grimes and Horton looked clueless. It seems to me Jones is protecting Grimes from stuff he shouldn't need protecting from.
Perhaps Fitzsimmons is providing direction from behind, but it certainly doesn't seem like it. I think he is a selfish keeper, happy whenever it isn't directly his fault. And my view of goalkeeping is the absolute opposite of that. A keeper is a bloke who'll potentially sacrifice himself for the team. He sees his centre back in trouble he'll be risking everything to help him out. If you don't want to be the hero, even at the cost sometimes being the goat, hand in your gloves on the way to Scunthorpe.
I'd like to see the team play a different way. I'd make us a poor man's Atalanta. Mr Gasperini (their lovely manager) is just great. I'd go straight to playing 3-4-3 and none of the Gary Caldwell ollocks about how difficult it is to play. And I'd be pointing out the onion bag we were kicking towards.
Oh yes and I am a big fan of King, and I'd give him the biggest kick up the ...... and a bollocking he'd never forget and tell him I was coming down hard on him because he's spending his career playing several levels below his talent. He's playing in defence and we've got no-one, apart from McCallum, who I could guarantee would outscore him. The trouble is he has the power to make us and to break us.
LOVED THE COOKIE JOKE!
