His injury might force us to improve our donkey defence.
100%. Cash Konsa Mings Digne .
It really isn't difficult

The problem is can mings play week in week out after that injury. We may have to get a loan signing in now

Konsa's reaction to every goal we concede is a dramatic toddler-stomp on the ground and a round of fucks. I hope it's himself that he's berating, as he's often the fecker at fault.

He has turned into a moany lad, hasn’t he? That plus the fall-over-pick-the-ball-up free kick gimmick, which works 4 times in 5, but when it doesn’t… (SJM another sinner here).

Thought that Mings’ fitness difficulties in the last 10 mins went some way to explaining why his game time has been severely limited the past few months.

His problems late on were becauase he got kicked and was feeling it, not a lack of overall fitness.

I don't get why Konsa was moaning after the first goal - it was his inability to be aggressive and sort that ball out that cost us

100%.  No effort to get body position on the attacker.....really poor.

Missed that. Assumed it was cramp of sorts as it seemed to recur.

He looked really uncomfortable just after it happened and I suspect he'd have gone off if we'd not used all our subs. You could see he was struggling to sprint in the last 10.

I've never known so many injuries .
How did we win the league in 81 with 14 players when the pitches were a lot worse and the tackling was far more aggressive .

We didn't play as many games, and we seem to have been a bit lucky, too. We made up for that in the following years, especially re: Shaw, obviously.

The game was a lot slower as well. These guys now are seriously pushing the human body to its limits.

Also they're glove-wearing ponces and so on.

Mings seemed to be cramping up quite badly and clutching his calf in the closing stages last night.  Hopefully it was just cramp and not an injury.

Although having said that, there were a fair number of suspiciously 'flamboyant' haircuts amongst them, often with a hint of highlighting going on (Shaw, Morley, Geddis for example).

See, we won the league WITH A BUNCH OF POOFTERS. How come this lot can't hack it?

Geddis was naturally blonde in my opinion. No peroxide required.

A little a Geddis story from a long time ago

If I remember rightly Geddis was our record signing at the time
He turned up and didn’t score for quite a few games

We went down to White Hart Lane, I went with my mate who is older than me and we had to go in with the Home fans.
He was very insistent that if we did score I didn’t jump around or say anything, no problem I said

Geddis scored his first goal for us,
my mate, who had been giving me the lecture jumped around shouting his head off like a loon, Spurs fans standing around us weren’t pleased I’m fearing for my life he then pointed at Geddis and said I’ve waited 12 games to see that.

We had to leave early
