You can have a DIY manual or we can arrange for Our resident sturgeon Egor, to do it for you.
We will gladly hold you down while it's done.
Failing that have you thought of a rusty bread knife.

The calls for Ling or Knill back are just desperate though, neither are the answer to our problems. What we need is to play some decent football. Passing it around on the floor. That's how you start picking up points when the pitches improve and the ground becomes drier. That's why over the last 10 years, our best ends to seasons have always been with ground football playing teams.

If we had to go for an ex-manager who plays the right way and is arrogant enough to get the job done, it's Paul "The Special One" Buckle.

I can't say I'm thrilled with their loan extensions. Neither Stockley or Goodwin are contributing enough in my opinion and both tend to be anonymous for most of the games. I'm in the bring back and use our own players camp. I think using so many loan players this season have just made matters worse and Knill and now Hargreaves have lost the plot in not knowing their best team / formations. I wish we had someone like Ling who gets the best from OUR players.
