Spiderpig Posted 20 hours ago Report Share Posted 20 hours ago 13 hours ago, ropy said: Two clean sheets Lets be honest about that HB had a couple of half chances over the two games that Paulsen had to deal with but our defence was never really in any trouble. It was two clean sheets but in the context of the team we were playing were hopeless. Two clean sheets in the first two league games will be more praiseworthy. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's what I thought too. Paulsen was probably expecting a cleaner shot, but it was whipped in - although gently - with a lot of spin and it probably kicked up off the plastic at a weird angle.

Thankfully he, and we, won't have as many plastic games this season. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It would be like a fire sale, just with loads more money involved! Agreed. I defended his ‘building incrementally’ statement a few weeks ago a statement that looks to have been naive. This takes time, comfortable in those at the helm to trust the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The proof will be in the pudding as they say. If we are sitting in 5 years time still in the top flight with a brand new POD built still challenging for top 6 and European football then all will be well in the world. Id like a cup win as well, but happy to wait a little longer for that if we are transforming the club in the process. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Apologies! I figured everyone would know that puddings were intended to be eaten. Having been to America recently, they dont appear to be strangers to the concept! 😆😆😆 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The one that drives me mad is “out of Pocket”, they use it when they won’t be available or gone for a few days, not when it’s costing them money. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not to derail the thread, but the most confusing one for me at work was when they talk about "tabling" something. Instead of meaning "to put something in front of someone for discussion" it means the exact opposite - to put something away and maybe talk about it later.
