The Clough Factor

[blade too long]

It really isn't necessary to engage the brain when talking to you.

it comes across as that thats for sure
if you cant accept what Adkins says as the truth

the man who showed us the future v bradford then blew it up in our faces less than a week later at home to posh, is the man you put your trust in

and I dont engage brain dah

I'm assuming you've checked the results we had after both the wonder results you mention you thought looked good on the bbc website after?

Just checked, after Swindon we lost 3-1 at Preston.
After Bristol we lost 2-1 at Notts County.

Proof of.... Bugger all.

Yep, we played well against Bradford, and not so well the following week. Conclusive proof, if any were needed, that Adkins isn't the man for the job. Wibble.

Seriously, do you get help to turn the laptop on, or just to remove the saliva afterwards?

BTL writes "the utter dumbness of some of our fans is astounding"...FFS!

I can't give you the title of the forum idiot, someone already owns it. But you're surely the bluntest tool in the box. ^Pure comedy Gold.

Talking of irony (ironically mentioned by your good self further up), the "g" in "gold" didn't need capitalising.

 

[Bladebri]

The 3-1 at home to Bradford?

Although I've no idea what you think this proves.

We got 3 points at home

Well spotted. Your application for promotion from the role of "forum idiot" to "unpaid internet bulletin board spellchecker" is under consideration.

You're not seriously suggesting that he's busy during the day are you?

Oh yes. I can get in a thorough session whenever you post.

 

[Silent Blade]

I think having John Nicholson in charge for nearly 33 at the turn of the 20th century (when many of the clubs listed hadn't even been formed) probably skews the averages a bit.

John Nicholson was the secretary, not the manager!

I like my Gold capitalising. You leave capitalising Gold alone. I might just capitalise my Investments in Gold. David Gold might object as would that songster and one hit merchant Andrew Gold. People! Pah!

Just for the record, Murphy sub again tonight.

Like you claimed he was in the 30 starts ?



Wiki rules!

When sharks smell blood they dive straight in. Especially when it's fantasy blood.

Sadly this is a bit rancid due to the bitterness.

 

[Esablade]

Oh yes. I can get in a thorough session whenever you post.

...again, nonsensical...

You were the one having a pop at anyone who remotely criticised the team earlier in the season. Now you're a pound-shop Barney, except you've been to fewer games.
Do you actually read the shit that you post or do you just drift in and out?

'Bitter, twisted individuals crying in their cornflakes

That was me! On the morning of Tuesday 12th May 2015.

 

[Davie Blade]

Agree but I think the maguire money and cup runs more than covered this so called spending spree. By the time you factor in the Murphy money and what we'll inevitably flog Che for and this myth will be well and truly busted.

Another myth is 43 players all pay themselves,
agents are free
and we will make money on Scougall and Brayford.,
Clearly some never read the clubs accounts, they were out this week!

Cantona-esque, oh no that was about seagulls. Good to have a laugh though; bit of fun, glad you appreciated the humour.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

just tell me one Adkins display where weve come close to the 3=1 at bristol or the home win in the league over Swindon

In which game did Adkins convince you he had got it right

3-1 win at Peterborough
3-1 win at home to Bradford
3-0 win at home to Oldham
2-0 win at home to Wallsall.

They've probably been the best of the season I would say. Reasonably encouraging that 2 of them have come with the new set up.

 

[1danewhitehouse]

Fair enough, the article blade too long cited had him as manager for all that time pushing our average reign up significantly. I must confess, it was before my time.

 

[PeteBlade]

3-1 win at Peterborough
3-1 win at home to Bradford
3-0 win at home to Oldham
2-0 win at home to Wallsall.

Chesterfield 0-3 Sheffield United

Could you add the Gillingham game to that despite the result?

 

[Blade58]

Walsall win their game in hand they leapfrog Cluff

 

[LoughboroBlade]

Walsall win their game in hand they leapfrog Cluff

Presumably the first time since he took over when promotion wasn't in their hands. Some interesting developments all over the table currently.

 

[Lane Ender]

All coming into place into the play offs Burton have no chance.
Blown it again the negative one

 

[Seagull]

Murphy for Brighton - 34 appearances and 6 goals.

Seagull might expand on that, but he's done well for his first season at that level.

He has definitely been a decent signing, but recently has found game time hard to come by. Initially he was competition for Lua Lua on the wing, with Lua Lua injured he held a starting place in the team for sometime. We then lost March on the right, out for the season. (March in my opinion was by far and away the best player on our books at the time.) This also aided his first team appearances. However in the January window we signed both Anthony Knockaert and Jiri Skalak, who are both a severe upgrade. Now Lua Lua is also fit, but can't break back into our starting 11.
Murphy is a very capable player but sometimes lacks the decision making to carry him further, at times he seems a little lightweight and often cuts inside when I'm screaming for him to hit the byline and cross. I'd say the championship is currently his level but obviously hope he keeps getting better. To be honest I didn't realise he was 34 for 6.
