It really isn't, we had such a continental flavour in the 2nd half of last season, now we have a place whose crowning glory is somehow being worse than Stoke, the only place in England where the town centre isnt actually the place its named after Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted October 4, 2017 Author Share Posted October 4, 2017 Here's a little something for those out there who are missing the exotic locations of the original thread Maybe you're feeling a little homesick (ie sick of home) A brief round-up then of some familiar old faces ..... Portugal - Sasso started out as a regular for Belenenses but has gone missing presumed injured lately (4apps out of eight games) Melo has gone backwards at Chaves, usually on the bench - occasionally comes off it (3apps in eight) Semedo 1 sub app for Setubal to date and then nothing - REFUSE to accept he's picked up an injury, so ....... dunno Netherlands - Lachman a regular for Willem II yet again (7 games out of seven) but they're rubbish this season, bottom of the league - Urby also 7 out of seven for Utrecht (although some as a sub) they're mid-table The good 'ol USA - Dielna has already racked up 9apps for New England but they're a bit hit 'n miss too, still plays the games though (sigh) Ne'mind, eh? Back to Burslem and Accrington at the weekend (with a trip to Gillingham on Sunday) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ethel The Tree Posted October 7, 2017 Author Share Posted October 7, 2017 Accrington 0-2 Luton (att: 2,193) Jordan Thorniley recalled for this one after missing the midweek cup game He played the whole match and got a few mentions on various live texts for his defensive work but that was as good as it got The result put a slight dent in his own wins to appearances record and sees his side slip to 6th place, while Luton climb to 3rd Meanwhile, at Port Vale it's business as usual Another home defeat (Grimsby 1-2) and no sign of Jack Stobbs in their matchday squad Their new manager has gone on record saying all his players will be given a chance to impress, so maybe it's Jack's turn next week Not loan related, I know - but congratulations to ex-Owl Chris Lines He celebrated his 300th appearance for Bristol Rovers today by helping to wreck Lewis McGugan's home debut Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Had no idea Bus had moved on again. Just looked it upon Wikipedia. Back in Bulgaria. We got him from CSKA Sofia. Now at Levski Sofia. On 2 June 2017, Levski Sofia confirmed the signing of Sergiu Buș on a free transfer from Astra Giurgiu.[9] The transfer was officially announced by the club on 13 June.

Groundhopping Owl Posted October 7, 2017 Share Posted October 7, 2017 (edited) Remember how mental we went when Bus scored that goal against Huddersfield. "The Bus, the Bus, the Bus is on fire" remains one of my favourite songs ever heard on the kop Don't think his career with us could be salvaged after that miss at Newcastle.

A very intelligent footballer, unfortunately stuck with the worst possible physique - he was small, slow and weak. Pretty difficult to be all three at the same time frankly.

Ethel The Tree Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Gillingham v Portsmouth is live on Sky this afternoon (ko: 2.30) If anyone is planning to watch it then hopefully they'll come on here afterwards and give a detailed account of how Sean Clare performed ... that's assuming he's selected Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ethel The Tree Posted October 8, 2017 Author Share Posted October 8, 2017 Gillingham 0-1 Portsmouth (att: 8,163) The stats suggest a fair result The live texts suggest Sean Clare made a fairly modest contribution - and was duly subbed off on 67mins The result leaves his side second bottom and struggling tbh So ...... did anyone watch it? Let's see some marks out of ten Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jon Newsome Posted October 8, 2017 Share Posted October 8, 2017 Clare was quiet, that Gillingham team is 100% getting relegated absolutely awful so hard to really judge. He looks tidy on the ball but a little bit lightweight in the tackle, Gillingham have been playing him just behind the striker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
