A bright light in the gloom.

I think Faulkner is great but let's not go overboard just yet.
I don't think he's the best youngster since Ian Snodin...Rufus Brevett possibly was.
To compare him with Snodin and say he could go on to be as good is also way over the top.
I hope Bobby can have a great career and possibly go on to play at Championship level.
But the Premier League is a different kettle of fish.
Snodin was in the England B team and on the verge of the main squad till he was beset by injuries.
Doubt if Bobby can get to that level but I'd be delighted if I'm wrong.
Let's just give the kid a chance to settle in and develop his game without putting too much pressure on him.

Me being pedantic I suppose, but Snod was actually named in the England squad to play against Greece but pulled out because of injury and was expected to be part of that squad longer term but then got the injury that took him out of the game for two years. There was a fanzine piece by Pat Nevin who swears he heard the hamstring tear that did for Ian.

When I did my hamstring the crack was so loud those around thought I'd broken my leg

  Came on late on last night in a back four defensively sound and caused havoc blocking in the box for Longs winner from the corner.

Sorry to be pedantic, Brian, but it was Hurst who got the winner from the corner.

Hurst got the equaliser and Long got the winner from the corner. At least i think that's what happened?

Long got the winner

[Lifelong supporter]

Definitely Long.
Defender tried to clear Agard's header and it rebounded off Long into the net.
Fortunate in a way, but we need all the luck we can get.

Take no notice, guys, I'm having a senior moment.

Even though I'm only 37.
