I heard that Colclough tested positive but before he had been in contact with anyone else.

I've got to disagree re Dinanga. I thought he was as good as that other centre forward we used to have. OK he didn't score but he put himself about and held up the ball when necessary. Justified his place in my opinion.

Pringle was by far the best player on the pitch in that first half, perhaps faded in the second but it's great to know we have players of similar quality ready to step in.

Where was Ryan Colclough, by the way?


I heard that he has tested positive for Covid-19.

If that's the case are we facing another fortnight off? If not, what was the last lot about?

Here we go again. It's a pity that stuff like this is threatening to spoil what could be a great season.

Spoke to Andy White yesterday. Recovered after his ankle op only to get another knock in training. Sods law. I though that Tom Peers made a difference when he came on. Full of running and took his goal well. SBL

We stuck to the task yesterday, finally broke them down with due to lack of height, low crosses well met by Matty and Peersy. Thought subs yesterday were excellent, peersy especially made a huge difference, so wanted his goal.

Special mention to Shaun, thought he was superb yesterday, with little match fitness and playing much recently.

Overall, great squad effort.

Newton Abbot Spurs? That's an odd second team!
Would never have guessed it after our long chat at Winsford several years ago 🙄👍

A very decent player who was rejected by Crystal Palace because of his short stature. He was driving a forklift at the Hoover factory and playing part time in the Isthmian League for Southall when West Ham paid a measly £5K for him. Despite injuries blighting his career, he won 8 England caps and an FA Cup winner's medal, finishing his career at Watford. There aren't many (any ?) at this level to match that level of achievement.

Yes, capped for England......something nobody can ever take away from you.

As you say....not many managers at this level can say this.....Tim Flowers, Didi Hamman.

Wasn't Mr. Coburn rejected by Palace for the same reason?
