Strangely enough I do know that Spurs are a step up, so please don’t patronise me.
My point though (as though I should have to explain it), is that for all that he has ended up at Ashton Town. If he was so good he would be able to retire gracefully and with plenty in the bank, not trawl around the lower reaches for a game (with all due respect to Ashton).
He was arrogant in the way he left, totally unprofessional, and I rejoice that he is now scrabbling round for scraps.
With a better attitude he could have left with everyone’s blessings, as Baines and Valencia and others did.He,s probably eyeing up his next big move to greater things Parbold or Appley Bridge maybe.[/quote]

How old must he be now? Surely, he is only playing for his love of the game & to keep himself fit. I cant see him commanding a high fee at ashton town – unless there are extra pies thrown in.
I can only see the odd flash result similar to the Blackburn and Villa games but the rest ? playing like that ? Not much elseAs long as we win enough flash in the pan matches, should see us stop up.
So is that Cooks excuse for not playing him, Powell’s injured.
He did imply something along the lines of him being a much greater threat playing alongside Powell, Jacobs and Massey, and that he will feature more when those injuries clear up.[/quote]
I heard that too. Jacobs is back. Hopefully the other 2 are nearing full fitness.
Just lighten up chubby and just enjoy a win. Pissed off losing and happy winning. No science to it. That’s what it is.
Plus we played great today so why not just praise the result and performance rather than have a dig at fans.TBF donny, after a win it is generally quiet on here, & i can never understand that. Lose a game however, & oh how the floodgates open with the usual suspects.
It appears to me that some of our supporters actually want us to fail so they can be the first to come on here to spout their drivel & prove they are right all along.[/quote]Superb effort by all yesterday and a brilliant 3pts but 1 win doesn’t make us promotion candidates.

Ps….I was one of the first to praise Cook yesterday. Unlike the ultra positives who have been in utter denial that Cook got ANYTHING wrong in the last 3 months…Well done Cook….more of the same please!!!TBF derek, you were indeed one of tbe first to post & give credit.
Secondly, & in some kind of defence re: your argument about cook getting ANYTHING wrong, yes he probably did TBF!
He lost his main attacking unit through injury, & when he has had to re-shuffle his pack, he probably did get it wrong at times re: selections/formations etc – infact many times. He also had to change the style of play to suit these players coming in to replace the injured ones. And yes, probably/definitely that didn’t work either.
In addition, confidence has probably played a part too. A severe losing streak can damage the moral & confidence that can spread through the whole team. I honestly believe that had abraham took his chance yesterday a la jones & kipre cock up, we probably would have been back at square one, heads down & probably suffered yet another defeat. And how the floodgates would have opened on here then.
The third issue is the “cook out of his depth” belief. We all know the guy has never managed before at this level. Yes he has made mistakes, as mentioned earlier & will probably continue to do so until may. But he is still learning at this level. And as long as we stay up – the main goal of this season, which i think some have forgot was the actual aim for this season, cook will have done well in my book.
Jamie did great but didn’t have one shot to save.
The same leaky and usually all over the place backline looked well assured though.[/quote]
Spot on!
Jamie did great but didn’t have one shot to save.True, very true! But i got the feeling that the defence in front of him felt much more comfortable. His command of his area was also second to none.
As i have said elsewhere, i felt more comfortable in that one game yesterday than what i’ve seen from walton all season.

I wouldn’t have been at all surprised if 1 or 2 had their post match thread ready to post on here following the game with their usual “cook out of his depth, tactics etc, etc cr@p.” But no! We win a game & they are nowhere to be seen or heard.
You can kind of understand the frustration.
