Forgot about the excellent defensive duo we signed from Villa

McClaren brought in both Gareth Southgate & Ugo Ehiogu two outstanding signings by Steve Mc, putting together a team that lifted silverware & got us into europe
Gareth as captain, lifted our league cup winning trophy & Ugo (RIP) who in the final moments of the final, denied Bolton a last minute equaliser when he throw himself into a rocket shot from a Bolton player, which would have nettled in the back of our net & heavens knows, extra time & penalties

One of my favourites, the Billy Ashcroft subersub game.

"As David v Goliath games go this is up there" Eh?

No offence Erimus74 but we're not in the 4th Divison yet!

True Bud, but I'm looking at the players that will be available to us, compared to who they could put out, we had a strong squad last season & couldn't contain Brighton, I know we done a number on Spurs but again, a strongish Boro team, just think we'll be so weak tomorrow that it'll seem a mountain to climb

Maybe David v Goliath was a bit OTT

I don't think they'll be at full strength either. We could have more than a fighting chance but thats up to our predictable manager. Start with a back three of VDB, Fry & Clarke with Jones at right wing-back, Engel at left wing-back (where he can cause less damage defensively) and partner Latte-Lath & Coburn up front.
Unfortunately, Carrick won't entertain anything like that, so when the shit does hit the fan he'll stick to his tried & trusted formula of... switching left-backs! That'll bamboozal 'em!!

All of a sudden your David v Goliath analogy isn't so far fetched after all.

out of interest at what level have you managed at?


Obviously Premier League at misery, I am asking about football.


Does Carrick have you on fast call?

Team Lids, rumour that Rogers cant play tuesday night, which is a shame, along with Greenwood, awful so far, rest Howson

[Smoggers51]

Not sure Erimus but I think Rogers can't play on Tuesday because of his yellow cards.Hope I'm wrong about that mate.

[erimus74]

Hackney back, fingers crossed he comes through ok

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

CAPTAIN AS WELL 🤔🤔🤔

[erimus74]

That was an excellent performance there, Balarsar & Clarke are exceptional

[erimus74]

Barlasar is a good technical player, his downfall is instructions from Carrick

Mention to Glover since he came in, so goid we've not missed Dieng

[erimus74]

Its going to get harder in the 2nd half as we tire but credit to Carrick & his team for a great 1st half performance

[LIDDLE_TOWERS999]

WE DONE WELL FIRST HALF AND GLOVER HAS PLAYED WELL UP TO NOW 😉

[AtomicDog]
