The Round Ball Game - II

[cloughie]

Something like three points from eleven games. A truly dreadful effort to avoid the drop, from a squad that should at least have made a fight of it. A lot needs to change , and very quickly.

Sorry to see the Owls result, a real shocker. Tough league to get out of.

‘There’s no success like failure and failure’s no success at all’

We’ve creaked, we’ve cracked and now we’ve broken. A tired old team had rings run round them by a younger more sprightly squad!

Both for Saints and Owls a new manager and a refit needed!

Steve Bruce will save you …….

He had his chance - but he could bring the Hangers back!

Not really the best of times for Forumites with Foxes looking well nigh doomed.

I could imagine going to more games next year with tickets easier to come by in Championship.

Even a point tomorrow or against Newcastle would be handy, with a winnable last day game, Alison..

Thanks for the encouragement Sainty. It’s just that more fight is evident from Everton, Forest and Leeds.

Incredible match tonight - Never underestimate the lengths the Owls will go to do it the hard way!

Amazing stuff, one of the great come backs. I didnt see the game but the atmosphere must have been extraordinary.
The playoffs may not always be fair, but they are seldom dull.

Just read about it this morning, cloughie. Fantastic!!! Never saw that coming! One more push now. I loved the comment from Barry Bannan: 'Wednesday had been buoyed by watching previous great comebacks in the days leading up to the game. We've watched comebacks all week from the big teams in the Champions League," Delighted for you, cloughie. Who needs Brucie?!

Just watched the highlights on Youtube there. Even more amazing...got a wee tear in the eye after that, I have to say!

....Oh WOW well done....

Second week in a row we didn't manage to hang on to a lead, this time v the Champions. No too bad, mind you. I notice that Stockport are still in with a chance of promotion. That'll please a certain former correspondent of this place.

Leicester City on the brink of relegation …

Fantastic comeback Cloughers.

It pleases this one too.
