RoyalBlue As regards the experience of our team - Adi Williams pointed out that 5 of the starting 11 have international caps!
On a different subject - did Attwell book Gunter in stoppage time or not? He definitely appeared to flash the yellow card in his direction but neither the BBC or HobNob have recorded a booking in their reports of the game.

Snowball I hope Khul gets a run of at least six games before the others are fit enough
to replace him. I think, barring serious injury, he'll play at the top end of the Prem.
Quality player

It's 6. But when they're for such great footballing nations as Jamaica, Wales and Ireland (twice), I don't think that is saying too much.On a different subject - did Attwell book Gunter in stoppage time or not?

I think he booked a Huddersfield player and Gunter just happened to be closer when the card came out.

handbags_harris Gunter was definately booked. Attwell took an age to walk over, flash the card at the goalkeeper, walk back all the while writing in his book. Gunter then gets the card and he makes a quick note in his book. Then he stops the goal kick being taken to allow a Huddersfield sub on

Nameless Keepers are always the worst culprits for the imaginary offence of time wasting, and like the Huddersfield keeper, they get away with it far too often.
I actually don't think it should be a booking, as any half decent ref ensures no time is actually wasted. I'd change the rule to allow the ref to add on the time by which the restart is delayed plus 30 seconds. I'd also stop substitutions being made during added time.

Norfolk Royal Unfortunately if he is a as cracking as people are saying, he'll be gone at the end of the season.

Great debut, and from the snippets I've seen as a youth, a rap talent, a leader, good football brain.
Of course he will go to a big club, but that's OK, as long as we get 1-2 seasons from him and some VG money

Arch Just like McCarthy two years ago and Obita last year. I can't understand why we can't keep these cracking young players.
