I keep wondering if we really need Pritchard ...

... then I'm amazed how involved he always seems to be, West Brom included when he made the winner.

Some incredible goals there Smug, thanks for posting.
Just looking at assists I didn't realise how many times Prichard and Clarke are involved in the build up to goals without being credited with the assist. It also made me think about Ross Stewart and would he get as many chances at another club, get that contract signed Ross <ok>

They're not, we have a pretty good recent record.

We recently beat Tranmere to win a trophy, Sheff Wed to get to Wembley and Wycombe to be promoted ...

... we just beat a team above us to get into the play-offs.

Go on, tell me we lost to Royal Engineers in an FA Cup quarter final in 1932 <doh>

Hey am agreeing with you, and there has been some great results, but also times, especially at the SOL where the team has failed to deliver when expectation has been high.
Even the last home game would fall into this category.
Got to say, I’m confident going into the game, and looking forward to the playoffs.

Just been listening to What The Falk podcast with 2 Watford fans on and they can't wait to get the season over with. It seems that behind the scenes are worse than our dark days going down to league one with players just not putting the effort in. Watford fans seem to think that if we get after them then we'll win and that they are the weakest at their left back area - might be worth putting Roberts and Amad back together to torment them

They obviously love playing together and it's a nightmare for defenders. I also like to see Roberts and Clarke switching wings because Pritchard instinctively fills the gaps. Realistically we need to win so it's going to be quite a game ...

... I'd love the home crowd to witness a goal like Clarke's at Reading, but I'd take a 'West Brom' style penalty <laugh>

This doesn't happen enough for me. Can you imagine what the full backs would be thinking of they actually did swap wings!

TBH I've forgotten about them now.

I have Mag relatives and we used to talk about football and the rivalry, that's all gone now ...

... if the Saudis had bought Spurs or Everton they'd be in the same position.

Same owners, different location.

It's just a franchise now, identity wiped out in one season.

Their supporters won’t agree but you’re bang on here…

They won't agree but they know.

Many of them moaned for years about 'Chelski' being bankrolled by a nasty Russian and how unfair it was ...

... tbh, Abramovich looks quite a decent bloke compared with the Saudi state.

Him and Ashley are quite similar tbh.

Can’t wait. It coincides with the opening of the new Railway Club (formerly Park Inn) in Park Lane. I will certainly be starting off in there, but may head closer to the ground later.
Also my son Coming up from Leeds for this one. I’ve just been over for a ticket and he is on the bend in the upper North West Corner. I wonder how close they will allow our fans to the away fans?
