First time I've watched a Championship match this season that hasn't involved Barnsley. Different gravy. Not in terms of skill. Barnsley are just as skilful as either of these two sides. But in terms of strength and fitness and speed and stamina and commitment and organisation and the will to win, they're light years ahead of what we've been subjected to.
I thought Notts would beat both Sheff Ure and Hudds comfortably. But now Im not sure and Im not that impressed with them, now that the Blunts have got in their faces. If only we'd done this when it mattered to Cooper and his previous team Swanny, this time last year.
Tbf, those loan defenders they had really kept Dike quiet. I never felt it was that close, Swansea looked very comfortable at their place.
Im not sure about that. Despite us not having that cutting edge, wasn't their keeper one of their best players in the 1st leg. And finally when we scored there in the 2nd leg, we had them on the back foot. But it was all a case of too little and too late.
We've been that bad this season Connor and Hecky have no chance. Hourihane will miss a penalty and Heckinbottom will be sacked. Nailed on.
The first thing I want to hear from whoever takes on the job is that the players will be fit by the end of pre-season, because the fitness of these so-called professional footballers was nothing short of pathetic this season.
Maybe they were knackered all the time cos they were out every night doing the Westg't run lol. Only joking of course!!.
