Ted Drake signed Sylvan Anderton for Chelsea from Reading , He had to make a choice which wing half ( as they were called in those days) to sign , the other option was the legendary Dave McKay , who later signed for Tottenham !

Mentioning , Rod Thornhill , I captained Rod in the school team , when he was a little left winger . You also mentioned Johnny Brooks I also knew him and several members of his family . The thing about John was that often on Sunday mornings he would watch kick abouts in Prospect Park or Coley Rec , ...

I’m not impressed with any of the new manager names so far proposed , so here’s one that may cause some reactions . James Milner of Liverpool . Out of contract at end of season , I believe . Vast experience of quality clubs and played in many positions , always a worker and enthusiastic player . How...

How can you have a defender as player of the season ? ? .?

I sympathise with Tom Ince , there’s him , a quality player , better than all the others , running his nuts off , and most of the rest , just not capable of putting in an adequate performance . Is it any wonder that he has a blast at them , I’m just amazed it took him so long .

Nice to see the late , great , Dennis Allen , getting a mention .

Surely if Noel Hunt keeps us up ( don’t think he will ) but if , —————- he surely gets the job ! No argument !

We were only in the game for a few minutes in the second half . We were totally dominated by PNE . Play like that and we don’t deserve to be in this league .

Defenders ———- What defenders ?

Joao and Carroll are decent forwards at this level —— but they are nothing if you can’t get the ball to them !

Why have PNE got 2 extra men on the pitch .

Warnock working his magic again , 4-1

Yes , our defence is rubbish ! In the last 2 years we have conceded too many goals . Look at the CB situation . Who has been the most constantly picked CB , Holmes , he has had many different partners , but he is regularly there .
Does that give you any thoughts ?

I forgot to list his strong points . ——- He is always committed to the cause , and tries his best , gives his all .

I keep reading what a good CB Holmes has become . Well maybe it’s time to state what I see with him .He has been a regular CB for the past 2 seasons . I expect a CB to command the central areas of his own half , but particularly his own penalty area . Where are we weak , and what goals do we concede...

Good performance . Great result !

Thanks Brogue , got it , much appreciated .

Anybody else not able to get the match on the red button ?

Sorry Hound , but I don’t think he’s good enough . Not even close !
