From watching FLS earlier, am I the only one that noticed that the mic picked up an ironic cheer from a Coventry fan when Dawson played the cross in?
the words editing and dubbing spring to mind. listen carefully on most of the highlights programme and i think you will find that the soundtrack is less than totally original
I think the same applies to our front players who, collectively don't score many! McLean scored a well taken winner against Peterborough, a well taken winner against Forest and a fortuitous winner against Birmingham, had Birmingham had a decent keeper, not prone to making elementary mistakes the third win may have been a draw
McLean reminds me of Billy Wilkinson - bit of a fringe player in the great 60's team. Billy was also not particularly tall but was strongly built, had a great ability to get up for headers (I remember a photograph of him captioned as "Bouncing Billy"), and although not a prolific scorer he was able to pop in the occasional important goal. Good man to have in the team.
Strange that Mussie - I seem to recall him usually wearing the number 8 in those days when the number tended to reflect a specific position. Not an out and out striker but certainly an attacking midfielder who played mostly in what we would now call "the hole".
not only is he instrumental for the reasons outlined above but I'd bet my house on the fact that he's the funny/likeable guy in the squad. I saw real bond with him and fryatt when the latter scored a couple games back. I honestly think the dressing room is a happy place, no piss takers like bullard, no ego's bashing like marlon king, boateng and altidore... I think we have a solid group of lads who work for each other.
This is a major factor in why we are doing so well, credit due to Pearson there for bringing in a mostly solid bunch of lads. Nicky is making them even happier by letting them express themselves at last on the pitch.
sort of like Koren plays perhaps? I was very young in the day, but i seem to remember him playing the tough tackling number 4 Billy Bremner type role whilst Ken Houghton was more of the player you describe. I could be wrong
It was an awful cross. I'm sure Daws used to be a really good crosser in League 2 but nowadays they're awful. What is it? He actually speaks very good English.
