Who do you blame for our current plight John ??

It`s easy to apportion blame Paul but we needed a bit of quality in the Summer to build on the great work AN did last year....and we bought cheap again.

Now the manager is desperately trying to find the solutions and is in a tailspin which might cost him his job.

And of said formations how many have we stuck with for the full ninety minutes ?
It feels that we often have to alter not because we want to but because we have to ?
 
We`ve had more formations this season that Home Counties South!!!

It's a really good OP my friend which gives food for thought
I immediately take from it that we are simply not confident enough in either our ability, style or worse both
Teams will be thinking deepdale is a guaranteed three points now which if only we could deal with our defence issues and acquire a decent striker in January could possibly work to our advantage
But do you know. Try try as I will and I'm not in any priveliged position for information I just cannot see why we didn't acquire a striker ?

Which goes to prove AN doesn’t know his Rumba from his ChaChaCha


Cha.


In fairness Fred Astaire is injured and he doesn’t trust Ed Balls and Ann Widecombe up front.
 
Speaking of dancing I'm learning to Salsa at the moment for charity. I'll be tapping you lot up for sponsorship soon.

Hahaha good luck lad. I'll chuck in with video evidence of course. I dunno how he'll do it though, maybe if marsbars wears a GoPro headcam™ we'll get some good footage of you both.

Haha Mars won't be there. It's for Bury Hospice. I'll sort you some videos out for sure!
