    Effectiveness of Substitutes

    Something I noticed was that this season in the league we have just 1 goal according to the programme from our substitutes in the league, that being McGlashan in the 4-2 win against Fleetwood. Obviously, you wouldn't expect a defender to contribute offensively so you could look at those...
  2. Making the most of throw-ins

    In common with many other teams we do seem to have difficulty in getting full advantage from the humble throw-in. My case against the long throw is rather weakened by the clumsiness of Charlton's CBs a couple of weeks ago, and I do seem to recall that we scored from one in an away game ?last...

    Vanishing Spray and other ways to fix football

    Despite its obvious benefits in the world cup, the football league aren't sure about it and will only use it in the JPT this year. "The spray will not be used yet by the Football League, which intends to hold trials of its effectiveness in next season's Johnstone's Paint Trophy. Football...

    Memory Lane Episode No 3 Season 1931-32

    Was That Really England?

    As the hangovers ebb away and the clean-up begins, a nation struggles to reconcile their fuzzy memories of the game with what they believe they know about their team. Was that really England crashing home four goals against Croatia? Were those white shirts actually passing the ball around the...

    Chelsea v Everton

    Chelsea hauled themselves to within two points of Manchester United with a 1-0 victory over Everton that I would be tempted to call dour, if it hadn't have preceded the least informative press conference since Rafa Benitez told us nineteen times that he was concentrating on coaching the team...

    Tilson improving in transfer market?

    So, now the dust has settled and the new lads have had a chance to bed in, it seems like Tilly really has managed to bring in players who have improved us and will help consolidate our position in the play-offs. Many were quick to squeal about the ineffectiveness of Mulgrew and Robson-Kanu in...
  9. Football Manager Live

More of a fixed FM08 Engine now but still a little bugs to be...

    Adios Championship

    Well, that's it, bar a Man Ure like resurgence in the second half which is extremely unlikely from this bunch. At the end of the day we simply weren't ready for the Championship. We didn't have enough players, or at least enough with the capability to compete in the Championship with the...
  12. Thugs Ruined Our Day

    I know there have been threads re; the abuse from Spurs fans on Saturday, but our day was ruined by thugs in our ranks. I should be able to take my son to away matches without exposing him to aggressive and abusive behaviour. If anyone reading this was involved in such behaviour, then shame on...
  13. Col Ewe vs Southend - Match Report

    Match report from yesterday’s game. Collis – seemed very confident and was communicating well with the back four but had no chance with the goal which went in off the post from Guy’s excellent strike.  Collis’ handling was good throughout as was his distribution. Collis pulled off a fantastic...

    The fbm preview

    Due to popular request (well, one, anyway) here is the first fbm preview for the forthcoming Blues home fixture against Lincoln.  Purely my take on what the game holds, things to be aware of, etc.  The usual stuff and, I hope, presented in an unbiased way giving a balanced perspective of both...
