    My mistake … Taylor Richard’s NOT Tyler Roberts. :emoticon-0138-think
    Not the first time I‘ve mixed the two up. :emoticon-0127-lipss

    No, at that luxury AirBNB condo where we made ourselves a wonderful breakfast and 4 cups of extra strong Keirug coffee before 11:00am departure, a place we wanted to stay as long as possible, a bar and liquor store renovated by owners into AirBNB units, the largest of which one of which the owners, he a building contractor, live. Only 2 rental units right now, but they are working on more on lower level. Usually we get up early, Waffle House type breakfast and on the road at 7:00am, but we have just driven two 1400Km days so we’ll ahead of schedule for California arrival for wedding. If we had been on ESPN internet service we could have streamed our game under email address and password. When I eventually got to our game we were already 1-0, then 2-0 not that I expected anything, no 0-2 Reading type comeback with Jamal Lowe providing the assists and almost winning that match for us. So about 2 hours on the I-10W to El Passo, then on to Phoenix, Arizona. Was thinking of the heading north on the I-17 to Flagstaff, a town high on a mountain top on the I-40 (old Route 66) then west on I-40 through the Mojave Desert, but we are being warned of a snowstorm moving in with our timeline, so even though we are are driving a well serviced 2015 Honda CRV AWD, with near new all season just rotated tires (in Canada we have a 2nd set of dedicated winter, soft rubber, snow/ice tires that are mounted and balanced on a second set of rims) and we are used to driving all season tires in late Fall/early Spring. However desertion is sometimes the better part of valour and we will likely stay south on the I-10 with just a slight taste of the desert before heading to Los Angeles and environs with kids flying in from Calgary and Fredericton to be met at LAX airport and transported to the Blue Iguana Inn about 1.5 hrs from LAX where we have a nearby available condo to stay for free in prior and just after the 3 day wedding. Perhaps do Mojave Desert and Flagstaff on return trip back to Florida and also post Marci Gras New Orleans, that ends this coming Tuesday, day before Lent. So no beads for boobs experience for me this time around. Actually an interesting NPR show on about Marci Gras that indicated this was originally a Catholic inspired event, from original Spanish and French inhabitants that the church controlled, so people went wild and crazy for Mardi Gras, then confessed their partying sins to the priests before fasting for Lent. Interesting stuff, eh? We have done two 1400km days so we’ll ahead of schedule, My partner drove all Thurs and myself Fri, so back to her today, but she is tired so I’m about to take over. 4 coffees and one extra expresso shot cappuccino already on my system, need more I think. Very desolate drive, 80 mph speed limit, State Troopers have stopped 2 cars so far today for driving too slow would you believe! Two days of no real suppers, just a $10 AirBNB from freezer for supper last night at 10pm, all kinds of extra of reasonable food and drink available at that condo, you just leave cash out for what you you leave, coffee and water free, Dr. Pepper cans a buck, wish I had taken them for the extra caffeine.

    I thought we played alright until they scored. No way should we be giving their player a free header in our 18 yard box.

    Why was this deleted? What's contentious about it?

    It's a member of the squad saying he's gonna give his absolute all. Contentious because it's obviously a lie, as no member of the squad is currently doing that !

    That's not been deleted. Earlier there was a post by Critchley criticising Richards reported by West London Sport, Richards replied with a chinnie emoji. That's what was deleted. You need to go back further in the thread before the game to see what Sooperhoop posted.

    A three year plus contract with no probable KPI’s clauses built in……….

    We probably can’t afford to sack him but then again, we probably can’t afford to keep him.

    After Warnock save’s Huddersfield from relegation and gets other teams promoted, whilst on his third wheelchair, we should push really hard to get him back to our club to get us out of the Isthmian League Premier Division and back up to the National League, where we belong.

    I really don’t get this love crush many of our fans have for Warnock…….would be a massive step backwards.

    Did anyone ever get their personal reply by the way ?

    I would have had him until the end of the season, just to stop the rot. Think that's the sort of character needed right now. That would be it though, give us time to identify a permanent manager. Moot point however.

    Not sure about anyone else, but I have grown to dislike him again as well, like before he came to us when you just thought he was an obnoxious twat. And I never got my reply.

    I don't love him at all, but I love the way we played under him.
    He's not likeable.
    He's a winner.

    What exactly is the problem with the manager saying any of that which might have caused a strop? Time for some of our 'professionals' to start behaving professionally

    Plus - As others have mentioned, he can command respect from a squad, hence, get a club moving up.

    Minus - Can burn a team out and eventually lose the squad.

    Summary - Critchley hasn’t gelled from day one. We need someone with a bit of authority to pull the squad together. Our team needs a leader which we are lacking.

    Warnock, like or not, is that type of person.
    Anyway, just my thoughts.
