the positives from yesterday were few but thought Seymore had a cracking game and looked fittest he has been at FC, seemed to have lost some weight too,
Green was VERY agressive and looks a future international to me, came on and got the forwards fired up ..
DH was his usual self
Ellis was class IMO and was everywhere , we just gotta learn to support him now.
Mac will be better for that run out against his old club and looked ok .

sorry again but Horne would be ten yards faster if he took off all that padding, looked like the last three seasons again,
Omeley is a trundler now and i cant see many barnstorming runs coming from his legs this year, he was blowing like the flying scotsman after 10 mins on pitch!!
and even lynch looked tired before he got going IMO

as they say though its not how we atart its how we finish that matters
after 2 games ::::::: very average so far is the report

The ONLY reason we have a pre season friendly against Rovers is that it generates more income than any other game. Any other team and the revenue would have been reduced by at least 1/3

fare comment but i bet rovers get a bigger slice of the pie than the others would (do you think NH would let them for play for peanuts)

And so they should as their fans make up a sizeable portion of the crowd. I imagine they'll get an agreed portion of gate receipts after costs. The higher the crowd, the more both clubs benefit.

This fixture is here to stay

Hudgell won't have a problem reaching up, he takes a milk crate everywhere with him.

so the exta fans attending is not in our pockets so what do you gain(it being a derby crowd) you lose by giving them more.factor in the higher risk of injuries (for once we had good luck) and it dont seem woth it to me. ps and thats not mentioning the momentum it gives the reds
