I was a bit sorry when he left us as I always thought he had potential and it's a delight to see him not just return but get better and better. |

I suspect that spellcheck/predictive text is the problem, but I'm impressed at the number of times the former Indian Test captain is available for selection for us. |

The injuries are very worrying, especially as you never know how well players will come back; but for me that makes the strong defensive performances, the spine and the general organisation so important - much easier to keep in touch with the right end of the table if at least we're hard to beat, much easier to slot a "reserve" player into a functioning side.
I hope I don't have to eat my words but I don't see this squad going into one of those long runs of defeats that have screwed up previous seasons. |

I'm not blaming anyone apart from maybe the ref, but I am actually p*ssed off that we didn't get the 4-0 to go above Brum, because that was the target I had in mind before the match and we'd got there perfectly before the f*cking injury curse hit.
Still, bloody good performance by the team and credit again to the manager - the opposition was feeble but a makeshift front line still put four past them and coulda shoulda had five. |

Stephan has the boys playing as a team and several of them on their top form - Smyth, for example, has always put in a shift for us, but he looks genuine class at this level now. (Another fine performance by Dunne btw, we take that for granted these days but time was when people wanted him sold.)
Maybe when he says that he has to take certain players off to manage their workload, at a time when half our first XI are injured, we ought to assume he knows what he's talking about. |

I have to say that I never read any of his books but I heard one adapted on Radio 4 and it was one of the most cliched piles of crap I've ever heard.
Sorry, but there you go. |

If that's how the other clubs view it, then it's not working fir us and Connell's observation about Kolli is sound.
If we were to loan a player from a league above us, then I expect them to be better than our current squad and to play (e.g. Charles.) If they are from a lower league and just brought on for cover then tbh I'd be looking at a cheap purchase (e.g. Calum Ward) or maybe the loan of an older player who is on his way down the pyramid as a regular starter but can still play 90 minutes on occasion and has bags of experience (e.g. Field going to Norwich.)
If lower league sides are taking our young players just as cover then I don't see the benefit to either party. Our lad is keeping their kids from getting that experience of being in the squad but not getting regular game time for himself. The coaching should not be as good as ours unless we're doing something wrong.
If I'm a Bradford City fan when I hear about Morgan being loaned I'm thinking "he's a product of Premier League youth coaching who at age 20 has already made almost 60 appearances in the League above us and seems well thought of by fans." AFAICT from a quick google the only midfielder they have who's played at above League 1 level as at Ipswich on loan for a season 9 years ago.
I'd be expecting a cut above what I've already got, not someone to resort to if my first choice is injured or suspended. |

TBH given Stroud has a Spoons and a couple of good Proper Pubs (The Ale House, The Retreat, or a little further uphill there's The Golden Fleece) it's probably the worst pub in Stroud from my POV but decent enough for the younger crowd I think. |

If you really badly want to go you could consider getting British Museum membership, in which case tickets go on sale on Monday.
I took up membership a couple of years ago, you have to go to about three exhibitions per year to make it pay (most exhibitions are free to members, this one isn't, bt you do get first go at tickets.) |

My favourite one about Shakespeare historical quotes is Henry V before Agincourt - "We happy few, we band of brothers...Cry God for Harry, England and St George"
The nearest contemporary source says that what he actually said was "Fellas, let's go." |

I'm planning to go in the New Year.
I did hear at second hand that the timed tickets weren't working very well - = apparently the crowd was 5 deep so everyone was waiting to get to the front to be able to see, which in turn meant that the flow was incredibly slow and they had to queue for a couple of hours despite having a time slot. Hopefully the BM will have addressed this.
Incidentally there is a full sized fake copy in err, Reading (no, honestly).

I quite liked the suggestion that relegation to the Championship isn't enough, they should be made to play in Scotland. |
