That was the story that was used after a while, but...another story widely circulating at the time was that Macca and Wilkins refused point-blank to wear the kit. |

Fair point, Danny. I'm English and Irish and happy to be called either.
With Lawal, though, he's been asked by the Nigerian media and the Nigerian FA about his Nationality as his parents were born in Nigeria and he's been very clear that he's Irish born and bred and would/will only play for Ireland.
Didn't know about Chair's Polish roots. |

Lawal is Irish, Danny. A Dub.
I've seen him play quite a bit for underage Irish teams and he's nearly always one of the best players on the pitch.
Ball-playing centre-half, very tall, quite quick, two-footed and tends to intercept more than tackle. I'm not sure yet whether he'd be good at the face-the ball, head-tackle-head-tackle game you sometimes need to play CB in the Championship.
Undecided on how far he can go but has always looked promising to me. |

Agree.
What is potentially dangerous about it is that it makes us forget that Dozzell wasn't the only one hiding when things were tough, wasn't the only one hiding behind an oppo player, wasn't the only one unavailable for a pass.
It's just that he's gone, and the others are still here, so we heap all the blame on Dozzell. |

I like us occasionally having the green and white hoops because it's part of our history (and always worth remembering that we wore them before Glasgow Celtic did), but they're definitely of limited use to us as a second kit. Same with the dark blue and light blue halves, which I'd really love us to wear at some stage. |

It would do against Chelsea, though, and that píssed off some of their anti-Irish contingent then so much the better. |

Sounds horrific!
Also, Ireland's colours are green and orange, not gold, which might be even harder on the eyes.
I do think it should be hoops, though. |

I think we've been playing 433 for a good while now, specifically a Cryuffian 433, where the 6 is a central defensive pivot, the 8 is slightly ahead to the left and the 10 is slightly further again to the right.
Most of our heat maps have us playing that way, though we do change shape when attacking, which is fascinating as well.
On your overall point, and on Clive's point, I agree completely - the interessting thing is to what extent he blends idealism and pragmatism. It's been a good mix so far. |

The only concern at the start of the season was whether we'd hang on to Ainsworth for too long. I think I was worrying that we had. Can't really remember. But from Cifuentes first game in charge I was optimistic we'd be stay up, and never really worried there after. Serious, serious manager. |

I wouldn't cry over any of our players leaving, being honest.
Our best players, imo:
1) JCS - injury/fitness worries
2) Chair - been great for us, but a move might suit us and him
3) Hayden - on loan, not out of contract either
4) Cook - very good centre-back, but will we playing with such a low defensive line next year?
5) Anderson - been here three months and still can't do 90 minutes regularly
etc
Except...Except that the problem is replacing them and, as we know, our recruitment has been part of the reason we were in a relegation scrap until the 26th April. |

Hang on...
Are we REALLY sure we're still staying up? |

I love how you nailed it as a generational result.
Friday night was a night of phonecalls, of texts, of tweets. Of reminding each other that we are a club, and that a club has members, and that members are family.
Results like this are generational.
You nailed it. |
