It was fantastic watching everthing fall into place and by the end of January we were flying, those months after until the end of the season are among the most enjoyable i've ever had as a Saints fan. David Connolly was especially an inspired signing adding PL quality but was a risk given his injury troubles. My user name was inspired by that season, Saints back from the dead so to speak.
100%; the joy of seeing all the puzzle pieces being placed together from the rubble of administration, as we assembled the side that went on to back-to-back promotions was a real joy and a real privilege.
I've seen 'em at Wembley 3 times with 2 wins. If I'd been at the play-off final it would have been 3. Makes Saints sound like a successful club!
Your football experience amounts to more than mine. I was often left back ........ in the changing room despite modelling my style of play on Facchetti!!
Playing in goal is a con job though isn't it? When you are young lads and you don't really have that much interest in football but you want to hang around with your mates, all you have to do is say 'I'll play in goal' in the kickabouts and you're in. I didn't know anyone who 'wanted' to play in goal when I was young. They all wanted to be Mick Channon or the like. So that's how I started really.
I was the reserve left back in my local kids team... just think the coach felt sorry for me and did it so I could at least say I was part of the team despite having the football prowess of a pine tree
If it’s true I think there are a lot of new managers this season so a few options. If I had to guess I’d say Wrexham
Not sure Jack would do that tbh. Also I don’t see a club in turmoil if yesterday’s performance is anything to go by.
I thought Nixon was pretty good for some clubs, just not for Saints Norwich a good shout. Probably is Saints
Good, the coach runs the team not the captain that gets dropped. If it was Saints what do they want, their huggy best mate Russ who picks the same players/mates every weekend and plays the same way regardless of the opposition or players? The coach runs the team, if you can't hack it and it upsets you - leave.
Exactly. Jack has been given a new contract and lavished with praise. This would be a weird response.
So, Jack walks into Dragan’s office: “Sorry Mr Solak but some players have told me they don’t like Will” (just writing that makes me laugh it’s so pathetic) and he replies: a) “Thanks for letting me know Jack, ask them who they’d like as the manager and I’ll make a couple of calls and get him in” or b) “tell the moaning ****ers to get on with their job and stop bothering me” … or c) maybe it didn’t happen at all. I’m going firmly with c.
