Midweek away game at Villa Park.
Albert, then playing for the oppo, is serenaded with "Albert is a Ranger!" by the travelling...well it wasn't hordes, to be fair, but we sang it loud enough for him to turn round and beam on a couple of occasions. |

5 away - Watford x 2, Cov, Orient in the cup, Stoke
One at home - Luton behind closed doors.
So no Loft End goal with fans in - but he certainly milked most of the others :) |

There is so much to dislike about how football runs itself...it is morally bankrupt on pretty much every level imaginable...but the fact that "JT", with his playing track record, has been unable to forge any kind of meaningful career as either coach or pundit is a rare tick in the box for football folk thinking "we just can't go there." |

I envisage something like the first Warbs season...but maybe a slightly higher finish as no post-lockdown implosion.
Some very nice football, general feeling that we're on an even keel again...but too inconsistent for a concerted play off push. |

Eze sale or no Eze sale, I can't see us spending an awful lot, but the sheer number of out of contract players will still mean a very different squad come August.
Particularly interesting will be whether he reverts to the 433 he said on arrival that he favoured; or sticks with the 4231 we've used for some time now. |

He's been quietly very ruthless too...from the binning of Dozell at the first opportunity via the sidelining of the likes of Kakay and Adomah as soon as the late window bodies came in to seemingly deciding Hodge wasn't what was required after all and hooking players at half time when they're not performing / coping (most recently two of his favourites Dunne and Andersen at Hull).
Be fascinated to see how that translates into the summer - who we keep / who goes / who comes in. |

I voted Cook for PotY with JCS a close second, as I think that partnership, which Marti relied on to stop us leaking goals, was pivotal to the gradual turnaround and eventual survival.
But for me Chair is by far and away our best / most important player. As many have said on here, we'll realise that even more if / when he goes. Fans of every other club clearly see him as our main man.
Re his stats - remember that for the last 2.5 seasons, he's achieved these in a crap team.
I suspect we're all conflicted about Rockgate (the severity of the accusation vs innocent until proven guilty) - but no point speculating on that, let justice take its course I guess. |

Pre-season - no chance
End of August - tiny glimmers of possible hope.
Boro away - hey we look half decent
Rest of Sept / Oct - fck me we're completely doomed, please make it stop.
Rotherham away. I like the cut of this man's jib.
Stoke home - we've turned the corner! 4 bloomin' goals!
Hull home - turned the corner and into the straight
Plymouth home - just a blip
Wednesday - from home & hosed to definitely doomed in my worst 10 minutes of the season
Xmas and Jan - gloom. Still impressed by Marti but we've reverted to type and even he can't stop it.
Last day of window - interesting, very interesting.
Feb - this is when belief coursed through my veins (lucky Bristol came just 3 days after Stoke in A Tale of Two Very Different City Performances)
Leicester / WBA - dreamland.
Boro / Mackems - why can't we shake off these pesky other teams? Why does Wednesday's new bloke have to be as good as our new bloke?
March 29 - Jimmy Jimmy- Jimmy Jimmy oooohhhh!
Swansea - tell me that I'm dreaming
Then 1 point from 9 - but genuinely felt that too many other teams needed snookers to catch us
PNE - phew
Leeds - suspect we may be safe |

Firstly, congrats.
Secondly...just over 5 months in as a grandad for me and it's everything you've heard and more. Watching the sheer wonder on my granddaughter's face at every new sight, sound, smell is priceless.
Enjoy! |

Yep - anything hooped has always been my mantra too - it's our (ahem) USP after all.
Due to being "of a certain age", I also like the quarters / halves too tho. |

Re Paal - noticed he came second to JCS in the Players' Player poll. Always interesting to see which team mates the players themselves pick.
MotM for me - give it Marti. |

Could have done with them winning and having a cup final on their minds when we go there. |

...and are both likely to be here next season.
Realistically I don't think we can afford Hayden, so we just need a solid back up as, much as I love Field and appreciate Colback, their collective yellow card count will no doubt verge on the astronomical. |

haha that reminds me, our group did a couple of seasons in the Paddock when it went from seats to standing for a while - we were right by the tunnel, and christened it "Dissers corner" - partly to show we were down with the new hip hop lingo of the time; and partly cos there was a group of regulars who did nothing but moan and slate everyone (ours and theirs) all game.
But I'm sure that wasn't you CCJ!
Had a very entertaining run in with Steve Sedgeley, we managed to wind him right up. |
