Seemed to be Cantona 1-0, Schmeichel on fire every other week for about 2 months. 

 

Quick look, 5 1-0s with Cantona scoring the goal after New Year, plus two other 1-0ers. They ground it out.

 

 

 

Yep the press always go on about Fergie's free flowing never say die Man United but that season they ground the fight out of more than just us!

My memory may play tricks on me as I'm still bitter but I believe a lot of those 1 nils came with a late winner after Schmeichel heroics similar to how they nicked the win at SJP

Lads and lasses, as our depressing trip down PTSD memory lane comes to a close, I'll leave you with some words which I think sums up the last few pages perfectly, I hereby present to you the lyrics of Mr Bruce Frederick Joseph Springsteen

 

I hope when I get old I don't sit around thinking about it
But I probably will
Yeah, just sitting back, trying to recapture
A little of the glory, yeah
Well time slips away and leaves you with nothing, mister
But boring stories of Glory days,

Yeah they'll pass you by, Glory days, in the wink of a young girl's eye

Do we think we will bring in a new CM after the departure of Anderson?


No, unless it is someone like Gibbs-White that is bought to play RW but can cover in the middle.

A crocked Willock, a teenager and Longstaff. I dont like it.

From what I remember we had shown some signs of stalling with a couple of iffy results, and the goals had dried up a bit. Batty and Tino were brought in to add some winner experience as a lot of our players had never really achieved that much prior to that season. Better teams than us have suffered from imposter syndrome in such a situation. We were absolutely mauled at Old Trafford and I think that was when Keegan made the decision to bring in some character for what he knew would be a high pressure run in.

Heresy incoming. I think Keegan got found out. There were next to no tactics. Go and score more than them seemed to be the philosophy and when that stopped working he didn’t have any ability to think differently and he also transmitted his panic to the players. The way he responded after the Fenton winner said it all.  You need the leader to be calm in those situations not getting all agitated.

Willock should be back right?

 

 


Probably. But i wouldn’t plan on relying on him. I think we need a new CM. I said this before Anderson and Miley. We need more quality there, and not just 3 of them. Vital area for a team overall for everything to function imo.

I'm leaning towards agreeing but I still wouldn't have it as a priority over RW, CB, ST.

 

Late on in the window, I'd be having a sniff at a CM.

If Willock cant stay fit the workload will be huge on the others. We are playing with three so we need everyone.

Worth baring in mind that we have waaaaay less fixtures.

Willock was held out for precautionary reasons (he could have played to end the season). So was Miley initially, but he appears to have contracted the injury bug running through the squad.

Bruno, Longstatt, Tonali, Joelinton and Willock should cover it. 

 

Not that I'd be adverse to signing a CM.

We have to hope Willock is healed and Sean has fixed his foot injury.

We had, I think, the second best defence that season. We were tactically very good, in and out of possession but got caught by a team who had an exceptional run in. Even if at times they looked ordinary but dug it out.
