T’Watford v T’Rovers: Sunday 27th August 2023

JDT is an absolute magician and a top psychologist as well. He’s got this young team well coached and developed a great team spirit. It was not an easy watch at times but my goodness the team stuck in there, defending resolutely and incredibly quick on the break.
Travis was my MOM and he was knackered at the end.
Young Moran had 3 touches of the ball and he had a chance to score with his very first touch but scuffed his shot.
Fantastic result and has given the club a huge boost.
Also well done to the home crowd for joining in on the 30 minute round of applause for Matt Sillitoe; a wonderful gesture.

The goal was well cheeky, how did Moran play when he came on.

Didn't break any pots but he looked promising to me as long as he's not contracted to play every game.

Thought he was average but we were against it. Nice little link up play in 90 mins in the edge of the box then he lost it and I was thinking it was Derbyshire moment.

He was at it again there by the end of the clip.”18th in the league budget”

Bloody love him what I would do for decent owners

A cracking manager - he says it as it is. A super motivator as well.

Five starting academy players today, I’m so proud of our lads tonight. Travis was my man of the match easily. Plus b***ley lost again

Imagine what he could do with a decent squad and a decent budget. He’s amazing.

Yes I agree. what I wouldn't give for owners to sink almost 200 million plus 15-20m every year into the club.

That's a bit harsh TG. I think we do have a decent squad. Sure we could do with another centre half and a really prolific goal machine (in fact if we'd had one last season we'd be in the Prem with Burnley) but who couldn't do with one of those?

No slight on our current set of players intended but I meant if he could have the players he wants in the positions he wants without worrying about where the money is coming from then I’m sure he could become a formidable force in the Championship. I think JDT is heading to the top in the next few years.

 

[Old Darwen Blue]

When he does leave it will be to a much bigger club than us.

I'm on holiday now and can't be arsed typing a review on my mobile.

What a win that was. Followed by the Dingles getting beat, that was an epic start to the holiday!

Hedges was superb. That Rajović beast of a striker looked an absolute donkey. Like West Brom, a welcome three points against so-called superior opposition.

Now let's get another couple of players through the door to help keep JDT happy!

Now that was a great goal.
We've seen many over the years, but that was special skill.

Almost Drog’esque. Whoops, sorry I meant Drogba’esque

 

[Drog]

Believe it or not I got any number from the left like that bb.... without the keepy uppys of course..... but none from the right wing. Obviously Ryan's swinger is far better than mine ever was! My right foot was just for standing on.
In my defence please bear in mind we played with soggy mitre balls on muddy pitches with boots that had laces back then.

I hope you don't mind me sharing this picture of you with the fellow board members Drog, i know you like your anonymity but its nice to have a celebrity amongst us.

Drog is the salad dodger stood next to the keeper.

Salad dodger, I wouldn’t have said that to his face. I bet he ate b***ley attackers for breakfast.
