And humble pie eaten today Hats off to Conor and his team of coaches and well done to the boys How wrong was I with the Plymouth game prediction I appreciate one swallow doesn't make a sumer but somebody somewhere did their homework on Plymouth Sorry I doubted you lads You Reds
There's definitely no need to say sorry Shed, your not the only one who predicted and thought negatively. Quite a lot of us did, and I'm sure we're all really delighted at what happened today. And hey while Im certainly not getting carried away yet, by today's opening game. Maybe a few green shoots are growing already now, under Conor.
It seems humble pie is on a lot of menus, I will eat mine with a smile on my face, I'm in the middle of renovating my house getting it ready for sale and whilst sanding the skirting boards the electric cut out (bugger) my phone was on the verge of dying and so when I jumped in the car and heard it was 1-2, I sat and listened til the result came in, a great win on opening day for a change, let's hope our home form proves to be positive too.
I thought we played well and were very organised but in the end, them playing Wiredu was an absolute gift. Plus they were a little arrogant, like they expected to win without trying. Definitely the best time to play a newly relegated team! How we play next week at home will be the big tell on how far we can really go this season. Its hard not to be optimistic though
Mine is with the defence yesterday.. always thought we'd score one or two with the players we have.. But and it's a big but.. Especially when we let them back in so early in the second half.. I thought eye eye another Orient Birmingham job here.. But the changes of Barrett and Bland at fullback and Mael and Earl in the middle made us stronger.. they were all excellent..
Like most I dint see us winning so I'll gladly eat my humble pie. Interesting to see the line up for Burton now both CH positions are up for grabs. Earl moves in at LCB and Ogbeta at LB but who covers Robbo...I think most of us expect to beat Burton especially after yesterday but it's a new formation again after one game but COYR..
