With Lawrence’s temperament maybe him missing the Forest game isn’t the worst thing but he’s a match winner and he should be setting a shining example of how to behave after the drink-driving episode. He now misses three consecutive game against teams above us, and it was completely avoidable. If their player tries to wind him up then why not just smile and ask him if he got a good view of his goal?

Options to replace him on the left are Knight, Josefzoon, Whittaker or Holmes. Knight is the most tenacious but maybe with least natural skill. Whittaker is too timid at the moment and Josefzoon too crap. If Cocu wants an inverted winger then maybe Holmes is the closest to it but I’d go with Knight.

It's been helpful to them but playing that pace without a proper pre season could be a recipe for injuries.

Could maybe put Waggy there and Wisdom to right back Bogle into the attack. 🤷🏻‍♂️

talking of rotund pegs, (and changing the subject completely), have you seen the new West Indian spinner?

6'5" and 22 stone, I bull5hit you not.

Judging from the still photos, he tried to headbutt the Reading player but wasn't tall enough.
He's so frustrating... all the talent is there but he's got a screw loose.

Ignore the still photos Peeder, not even close to what actually happened.

Apart from going over to the Reading player, he was in the clear.................. until the attempted headbutt.

TL was more Butt-head than headbutt.

The 3rd time was just asking for trouble, he had already been slapped first time, shoved the 2nd, 3rd time he sticks his head in and 4th time gets a dig for his trouble.

Cocu was fuming to say the least.

What a pity that we don't get a follow-up to the match thread - a "for everyone who couldn't attend" sort of thing. A totally serious match report of course......

Heb, are you on about Spurius Lartius from the poem Horatius at the Bridge by Thomas Babington Macauly? My grandmother used to recite it to me.

Then out spake Spurius Lartius; a Ramnian proud was he:
"Lo, I will stand at thy right hand and keep the bridge with thee.".

Bloody awful poem and a favourite of Churchill's who could also recite it.

We are all proud Ramnians.

You won't approve but I have Vitai Lampada from memory.

posted on 28/6/20

I am happy for you to remember the poem Heb. These poems of the age of imperialism were standards in schools in the late 19th and early 20th century and I suppose lingered on in the private education sector.

My father could recite the life of Frank Lampard as well as Abou ben Adhem, Young Lochinvar, Grren eye of the Little Yellow god. I suspect it was thought that by making kids remember these poems they would be morally fortified. It definitely couldn't be about the love of poetry. They are all truly awful.

Not necessarily true. I am morally fortified. In times of doubt my standby is The Lay of the Last Minstrel.
