..... but the point of a metaphor or analogy is to bring clarity or better explain something.

Nothing JJB said did that. He is either not very good at it and should stop, or he is doing it to avoid saying what the real issues are in plain English.

Hopefully JJB positivity will lift the players. Agar sometimes came across a bit one tone so the complete opposite might have a short term impact. Maybe not the worse thing for some of the senior players to take some leadership responsibility within the group. The important thing even if we start to win a few is that this is a short term fix and we get the right appointment even if it is for next season.

Well lets hope we see some of Jonesy"s undoubted passion and pride in the performance today because the club needs it.

We cant allow this mob to come to HQ and knock us out of the cup.

Who's going to the game? ROLL CALL......

Yes I’m going . Coming over from York. Will try and get summat for Mother’s Day whilst in Shedingly, then bite to eat after. Coming with a Cas fan and he’s sorted tickets in Cas end!

I'll be there

Ill be there.

Does anyone know if the shop is open at 10am as usual, i need to swap something but would like to do it this morning rather than queuing up at game time?

Can't make it today. Working. Really hope it is a game I don't find myself fast forwarding through when I watch it later.

I can't make it either, got tickets for the boxing at first direct.

What gets me is if JJB can see all these issues, why didn't he fix them as an assistant. The main thing is he sees players not playing happy. Was he walking around with his fingers in his ears and eyes shut 10 days ago?

Is it Josh Warrington tonight?

It is.

Tempting

His twins are at nursery with my little one so I see him on a pretty regular basis. Nice fella. Hope he gets the win and doesn't get to much hammer in doing so.
