Mark Bowen is visibly aging by the day

Fully supporting fans

[Chameleon]

Bowen coming across as the only adult in the club leadership again. Him saying he fully supports the protests is punchy.

Let's hope it's not the highlight of the game!

[Snowflake Royal]

ITV talking like it's a surprise we've gone to youth and they haven't alrready performed in multiple games.

Not too surprising given his mentor was Reading manager.

They make it sound like they've never played a first team game in their lives!

Multiple games in the League Cup and EFL Trophy. The FA Cup is a completely different proposition.

[WestYorksRoyal]

Great ITV coverage on our situation. Well done. Probably supports the view that the tennis balls aren't necessary - it's already getting coverage.

Good point!

Never realised how highly Wright has repeatedly spoken about our G-MOAT

What a vvank free kick

[Sutekh]

Well that was cr@p.

[Orion1871]

Get Glen Little into the club to teach these lads how to put a ball into the box.

[Winston Biscuit]

They are really talking up the tennis balls. Hope it's not a damp squid.

[Sutekh]

Can't help but feel a protest loses a lot of it's point when everyone knows what to expect and when, it's like they've asked for permission.
