No parental mollycoddling for me. I turned up with me sister, the door was locked and they couldn’t find the key and we had to climb through the window. I thought I’d been enrolled in burglar school. It was all down hill from there really.

I’m sad about this, he seemed so enthusiastic in his first spell and got his head turned. I’m not sure if there were behind the scenes issues but I hope he gets his career back on track and wish him well.... except against us obviously.

It’s the sort of game His Excellency John Rudge used to call “nip ‘n tuck”. When we have a good season it’s made up of a small number of memorable cracking performances and lots of games like that. I’m strangely encouraged by that performance that we might have a better season than I’ve been expecting.

We’ve scored every match.... it’s just we’ve conceded every match as well.

Thought overall we could have nicked all three points there. Maybe not a coincidence that they identified Amoo from defensive set pieces if that happened at Colchester and yesterday... something for him to work on as ultimately it undid all his good work and his goal. We can’t improve refereeing decisions but can work on things like that.

Who was marking Watson?

I’m with Johnson on this, let the ref manage the game. Too much gamesmanship involved and it’s one of these smaltzy sentimental things that gets attached to footie these days that turn me off, I’m afraid.

Hopefully relevant enough to be “on topic” interview with Sean Dyche...https://www.theguardian.com/football/2019/jul/22/sean-dyche-interview-alastair-campbell?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other

Seen it in real life or the club shop at least and I’ve revised my opinion... I like them all bar the away goalie kit. Any suggestion of red is just immoral.

Home goalie kit the best of an average bunch. I’ll almost certainly get some of the new merch to give the club bit more business mind.

Hope he does a bit of yoga / pilates with the other lads to try something different in injury prevention.

Not 6-0 up yet? I foresee relegation this season

Can’t remember the cinema but my first film was Jungle Book, yes I am that old! Thanks Rob. I saw it subsequently another 12 times I think, superb music.

Interesting article... helps my mood on all this: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2019/jun/28/your-50-year-news-report-humanity-is-actually-in-good-shape?CMP=Share_iOSApp_Other
