They say you often have to hit rock bottom before you can begin to see a change, and a change is definitely what we saw on Tuesday night. First off let’s look at the starting line-up and the first half – Joe Gelhardt earned his first start for the club and was part of a […]
Anyone who’s listened to the podcast might find this hard to believe but I try to work on the principle of “if you’ve nothing to say, say nothing”. Keep your trap shut, listen to what other people have to say and only join in the conversation when you can add to it. It’s certainly never […]
