Thank you, as always, Paul, for an excellent perspective. And I couldn't agree more with your comment about Sam Long. His development as a footballer over the past season or so has, indeed, been extraordinary.
Lock down has been hard on you @Paul Cannell , I can tell. Still chin up I hear that Primark* is open again.Funny thing, PPG. I suppose in a sense it's the inverse of potential points per game not played (IPPPGNP) at this stage of the season; in another sense it's a load of old bullshit since factors like 'going on a run ruins interpolated numbers' (GORRIN) and the game's not played on paper come into play.
I think that was a better performance than against Crewe is as much as Shrews had some attacking potency and moreover seemed to give a s**t. Their aerial defence was abominable, but we played very well - the Long, Henry Sykes link-up was worth the price of admission.
Gillingham will be a different kettle (I hope not Trevor) of fish; can we 'belie ratings and neatly nab a goal against nil*'? Those are the questions

B*****s. You were outside yesterday morning practically rolling under the shutters as they were raised.I've no idea what a 'Primark' is but, apparently some folk are very excited about going.

“Go away and improve....” Is that what you mean?Good read as usual Paul.
Regarding Sam Long , as you say he has improved massively as a player (from an attacking perspective- he was always good defensively)
I read an article where it suggested that KR and the coaching team had said to Sam that if he wanted to become a first team right back he had to go away and improve his attacking play.
4 goals and 4 assists is testament to the improvement.
Great credit to Sam, KR and the coaching team
I would imagine that it was a little nuanced and detailed that that.“Go away and improve....” Is that what you mean?
I once told my nephew to go away and clean my car. Then when one of my neighbours said how shiny my car looked I took all the credit and kissed his wife.It would be interesting to see the quote, odd way to train a player 'go away and improve'. Perhaps you're mistaken.
Reprehensible behaviour, Ryan. Poor show, kissing your nephew's wife.
