I just wish he hadn't used the words 'earn the right' !!!

I dont see anything wrong with using that phrase, its true, no oposition is going to sit back and let us take 3 points.

The players need to give 100% effort, stick to how JBA wants us to play, eliminate the daft errors etc and then we will have earned the right to win games by being better than the opposition in all aspects.

It was a Robinson thing.....we have to play dinosaur football first because we have to 'earn the right to play football'. Used to get right on my nipple ends !

The "earn the right" phrase is typically used by managers who believe you aren't allowed to pass the ball for the first half hour. Only punts and hard tackles.

As we have shown many times this season, it's also a legitimate tactic to come out of the blocks playing the game you want to play and imposing that on the opposition from the first minute.

Can I also say what an achievement for SOD to get 200 appearances.  Really pleased for him as some of the stick he has taken over the years has been ridiculous.  Aye made mistakes but who doesn't? He never hides and actually is a player who fits into JBA style unlike the garbage "just punt it" from Kettlewell.    He also got badly treated by Alexander. 

Well done SOD

Spot on mate. It's probably no coincidence that people started appreciating SOD a lot more under the disappearing German and JBA.

😂 I thought this may be picked up on.

He did say right to win, rather than right to play football though, which is less moronic

I noticed on BBC preview of game it has, in addition to usual list of long term injuries, Jordan McGhee out with thigh injury.    Couldn’t remember,  is this a long term injury and has he has ever been fit for selection under JBA?

Well that's informed unbiased punditry - not. Why is he being employed?

Because he's got pals in the meedja . No much of a manager even less of a pundit.

I think he was fit very briefly under JBA, with the emphasis on briefly. All we've been told is that he's out until after New Year, which could mean anything.
