I'll leave it to someone else to create a nice thread header.

Apparently we're playing today at midday.

Good to see Thompson and Mitchell in there.

1-0 up through Mitchell at half time apparently.

Finished 3-1 to Blackburn. Not having a great run in the league this year...

 

[PS18]

Eh, 9 wins - including six on the spin early on - is hardly a bad return given how little emphasis we generally place on league results.

Yep, and given the almost total turnover in players, with only a couple of foreign kids coming in. For a very young, very inexperienced side they're doing well. Playing a lot of excellent football too, which is really more important than the results at this stage.

Apologies, I was referring to the last few results, which have gone against us. We did indeed start the season very well, with Wilson and Fletcher on fire. Since Wilson has moved up with the loaning of the U21 forwards, the cutting edge isn't there. This is a very inexperienced side its true and could go on to do very well, but I think we'll see more from them next year.
