Draw With Blackpool Leaves Us With a Mountain To Climb

Filed under: Neil Warnock - 30 Mar 2008

Call it a personal thing, but when we don’t beat the team which was promoted through the play-offs I tend to think we’re underachieving. And despite what Neil Warnock claimed were two certain penalties we were denied a victory against …

Draw at Hillsborough: Who’s More Gutted?

Filed under: Neil Warnock - 23 Mar 2008

Kind of typical late Saturday afternoon if (like me) you can’t get to a lot of games. Sky Sports News on, Soccer Saturday with all the updates. As is seemingly usual, we’re one of the last results to come in.

It had been rumoured for a few days, but today came confirmation via The Croydon Guardian that the club will return top playing in white shirts with a red and blue sash coming across from the left shoulder.
