I agree that Levi and Chang and Asiimwe should all start on Monday.
They are fresh, improved the team’s performance and they played well.
Whether it is Sadler or A.N. Other, every football manager should try and keep a settled side when the team are functioning and winning.
When subs play well, they should get their opportunity.
England managers would do well to follow this logic, too, of meritocracy. However, in reality, everybody seems to have their favourites, unfortunately.
Saddler referring to a hunt is quite apt.
This season has been like a fox hunt where we are the fox.
Our initial dash gave us a head start on the pack, we went head down, hell for leather but tired and the pack started closing.
There have been numerous escape routes along the way but we lacked the cunning to see and take them and just kept our head down running in the same direction thinking the pack will tire and we’ll somehow find a second wind to escape ignoring that the pack were continuing to close in.
Now the hunt nears it’s end, it’s not over yet as we’re still breathing, but we’ve been caught and are pinned to the floor, wounded, waiting for the leathal bite.
The chase is over, it’s now a fight for life, it calls for aggression and all our last reserves of energy to somehow land a blow that gives us a last ditch chance to escape before we’re ripped apart.
One thing this season has reminded me of is that in a fox hunt, it’s actually much more fun being in the chasing pack than being the fox.
If we somehow escape, there will be no great celebration just a huge sense of relief we escaped, some time to lick our wounds and recover before the bugle sounds once more and a new hunt begins.
Very nice analogy!
We can have a desperate fox to join the increasingly disheveled owl in the match threads!
With Doncaster, Bradford, Port Vale and Walsall all vying for three automatic promotion places, does that mean that we have:
Four Fox Ache
I’ll get my coat…
Won’t happen but if we play a rigid 352 (I’d change it up personally to a 4231)
Then:
……………..……….Simkin……………
……………Daniels Williams Allen……………..
Barrett…………. Chang……………….Asiimwe
………….Adomah…………..Hall…………………
……………..Levi…………… Harrison……………
Or perhaps 3 young strong clever foxes join the pack and spur the stalwarts to better things if the leader allows,
Let’s call them Hall Asimwe Chang.
Can you please confirm that no foxes or other wildlife animals were harmed or suffered any form of distress whilst making this story.
I know that there are a few UTS followers who like war literature.
For anyone who has read ‘Journey’s End’, I think I’ve been every character, at some point in my life.
Just before the soldiers are about to go ‘over the top’, the avuncular Osborne states:
“The time has come,’ the Walrus said, To talk of many things…"
RC Sherriff (via Lewis Carroll) has never spoken a truer word…
Probably the team I’d go for to but it’s a case of anyone but Harrison for me. Can’t see what we offers but in a team that keeps the ball on the floor we may play better to his strengths
“Of cabbages and kings” which are we led by?
I can confirm no wildlife suffered distress; however, I and many others have suffered a considerable amount of it.
Same could be said about fans.
Against Port Vale we started singing “we are top of the league” and finished the game 2nd! 
Yesterday it was a chorus of “we are going up” we ended the game 4th
Think I’d rather sit in silence just in case 
Oh I’d have DJ or Wheatley in but Sadler won’t pick them.
Would be amazed if allowing 2 starts for Hall in succession is in the Blues plan for his minutes or in Sadlers masterplan to be honest. If that is the case I would play Lakin and Adomah either side of Chang who just has to start even if we only get 55 minutes out of him.
Moaning about stadium announcers is the least of our worries.
I have to confess that I don’t listen to that bloke who comes to the home stand because I’m not interested in a load of American razzmatazz or as I prefer to call it pointless bullshit.
Have we been working hard enough on the training ground on our pre-match huddle?
FTFY
Unless there is a specific reason, I don’t take my seat more than a few minutes before kick-off.
I appreciate that this stuff isn’t aimed at me but is part of the improved ‘customer experience’ which will, hopefully, mean we hang on to some of the younger generations of fans and families.
Of course, nothing is going to do that better than success on the field.
My bottom line would be introducing a drummer - I’d be manning the barricades and kicking some wing-mirrors off cars with the rest if that was ever suggested.
I could see him with his face painted. I might email the SLO and suggest it for next season.
Or dressed as a berry? What you think?
