He started well with 3 wins and draws against the RS and Chelsea and we were up to 9th and safe even before Christmas. The disappointing thing for me was that he could have really kicked on from there but didn't. He was given money to spend but found it impossible to change his negative tactics and only won another 6 games out of the final 19. It's a fair point that a couple of our subsequent managers have produced equally dull football.
With John McLaughlin getting in the way. I think....
Looks like Derby County to me... Ram on shirt ?
totally agree . It's just that I thought that some of the criticism of him was way over the top. I never thought that he was great. And he wasnt.
good for a laugh nowadays. Although not that funny at the time.
Missed the ram. That's my old eyesight. Was just going on the colours. I'll make another fool of myself. Is that player called Thomas(surname). Or am I on the wrong track. Just curious.
Taken too soon.
travelled down from Derry- Londonderry to see the first match. We fielded a strong first eleven. Our usual team. And got held to a 0-0 draw. Couldn't believe it. And ucd weren't lucky. They actually played ok.
Mike Bernard??
I drew a few days earlier Norman Whiteside in a draw to score the first goal. Now considering I support Everton. And was locked on Everton to win. With a few side bets on Sharpe and Steven to score first. This drawing Whiteside was bitter sweet. The irony of it all.
just like Iwobi 's passing. wish that someone would launch Iwobi outside the stadium.
one of mine also joey. But the trinity came first. Especially the great Alan Ball. But I loved all the team from that era. How could you not.
not that bad a keeper imo.
never owned the Alan Ball boots. But would have loved to have had a pair. Being from N.Ireland , it was the George Best boots of the time for me. Black with yellow stripes . I think.
