WE WERE MADE TO FEEL SO LUCKY TO HAVE SUCH A GOOD TEAM BY YOUR FANS AFTER THE GAME……
Favourite player of all time who played for your club: STEVE DEATH – A SMALL KEEPER FROM THE ERA BEFORE GLOVES WHO JUST MANAGED TO KEEP GOALS OUT
About our forthcoming match against you:
Your favourite current player in your squad and why? IVAR INGIMARSSON, A STEADY DEFENDER WHOSE INJURY LAST SEASON QUITE POSSIBLY COST US PROMOTION AND ONE OF THE FEW WHO ARE STILL HERE FROM THE 106 TEAM
Player in your squad we should most fear and why? JIMMY KEBE IF HE IS IN FORM – SPEED AND UNPREDICTABILITY AS WELL AS MASSIVE INCONSISTENCY!
Player in our squad you most fear and why? MATTY FRYATT – TBH NOT TOO FAMILIAR WITH YOUR SQUAD ATM
Up and coming prospect in your squad? THERE ARE A FEW CANDIDATES AS WE ARE SEEING A LOT OF YOUNGSTERS THIS SEASON AFTER THE CLEAR OUT – PROBABLY JEM KARACAN OR GYLFI SIGURDSSON
Where do you think you’ll finish this season? WITH LUCK MID TABLE – THIS IS A REBUILDING SEASON
How do you think you’ll do against us? NO IDEA, JUST UPSET IT HAS MOVED TO MONDAY AS I HAVE FAMILY IN LEICESTER WHO WERE COMING DOWN FOR THE GAME.THEY ARE STILL COMING (AND WATCHING THE TIGERS PLAY LONDON IRISH ON SUNDAY) BUT THE BITE WILL HAVE GONE FROM THE GAME NOW FOR ME.
