Nope. As they were early season, if anything I think that they helped to bring the squad together, both in terms of playing style and team spirit given the turnover of players following relegation. Hughton would typically make 5 or 6 changes from league games for these matches.


More relevant were the injuries to key players at various stages of the season: at one time, both preferred right backs were out (Steve Carr and Jonathan Spector). David Murphy had a couple of months out, Jordon Mutch slightly longer, Guirane N'Daw and Keith Fahey in midfield, both Marlon King and Nikola Zigic picked up knocks (Zigic landing awkwardly after scoring his fourth at Leeds) and most recently Steven Caldwell and Boaz Myhill.


Not that anyone is using this as an excuse, injuries happen. Over two games against Blackpool we under-performed; despite this, had we taken our chances last night, I'd have been forking out around ?80 for a Wembley ticket today.


The good thing is, Blues fans are reacting positively to not making the play-off final. Disappointed but realistic.


And not one of 8,000 plus who partied in Brugge regrets our European run.

El Pibe, I'd rather be a few miles further north :'( Having said that, as I didn't watch most of the 2nd half of 2006 after Konchesky had scored - just stared at the concrete on the Millenium Stadiums floor - then maybe crickets better for someone of my nervous disposition.

      Fireworks

      By HeadNun · Posted

      CPR Dave is anti-dogs. Each to their own  I think my dog has perhaps grown a bit less nervy about the fireworks in the last few weeks, interestingly. Our last dog had no problems with them until he reached old age, when he became petrified.  CPR Dave - it's not just sounds of the metropolis they hate, mine collapses in fear when he hears thunder too

      GALA 2026

      There's quite a difference between going for a run around the footpaths and trying to sit quietly for an afternoon in a wide, grassy area and enjoying the peace & nature. The other two grassy areas in the park are used for sports, and both had barriered trackway running through them. The Parkrun had to be cancelled for at least three weeks, iirc. I'm concerned by your continued reference to "the rye" - the event is held in the park, not on the rye (common). There is a big difference, despite the organisers and council artificially amalgamating the whole area when trying to convince everyone that it's only a small area that is closed off. The railings & gates enclosing the park are a big clue...

      Inpost "Parcel was refused" at Barry's - anyone else?

      By fishboy · Posted

      So have you cancelled your contract with InPost / Yodel now? If so, that's probably caused hundreds of parcels to be stuck in limbo, as they've said to me before that they can't redirect them to a different store. I have a parcel that was refused by you twice, the last time on 5/12, and since then there's been no updates, despite me calling them 3 times. They just say it's being investigated, but if they now can't physically deliver to you then that is obviously the issue. So much for shopping for Christmas presents early, looks like I'll never get them now.
