[Maldon Shrimper]

Not a great fan of Goodship and have slagged him off all season as I dont think he is up to it .
However if he performs tonight and makes or scores I will.take it all.back.

 

[Special Blue]

8,000-1! Or about the same as the other Elvis coming back from the dead, and also scoring.

I got slightly better odds tbf! But i did have Elvis turning up on Shergar!

Well Walsh was consigned to the forgotten list and he didn’t do too bad. Holmes not worthy of a start or many minutes (and it turns out it likely wasn’t about fitness). So I guess PB has seen something in Goodship that says pick him too and play him up top.

I’m feeling optimistic, but I’m not sure how much that has to do with the bottle of wine I’ve had in preparation for this.

 

[Paulie Walnuts]

I have no faith in us scoring let alone winning tonight and seeing goodship in the starting 11 has made me even less confident.

I agree.
I hope I'm wrong and he comes good tonight , but on the occassions he has played , I've seen 'no bottle or fight' and seems like a CB's dream.

Fortunately we won't have to listen to a thousand sheep shaggers singing what's that coming over the hill if it goes tits up

I’ve paid my tenner. Will I ever learn?

 

[hlane17]

Nerves are frayed here for me, sitting and awaiting the match that has such a bearing on the fate of our club. Wish I'd be having a beer but on a strict no-alcohol policy on weekdays. Fear I may have no fingernails left before we even kick off!

 

[ItsMichaelBlack]

1-0 please

In training, they say Goodship is a great finisher, but that is when there is no pressure on. In games, he tends to snatch a weak shot, or not even have one. Let's hope Phil Brown has solved that. Let's hope he actually gets in the penalty area.

Keep the faith people, it ain't over till the final whistle blows. COYB
