I thought apple was good for your core strength.

Pipped me to it

Seedy thread, this

Tony must have picked this idea up from his old gaffer Arsenic Wenger.

So what we’re saying is that having an apple before strenuous activity might be appealing but it’s not very grape for you?

Indeed. Players might crumble.

Or end up in a tart!

Switch to Comference :pear: pears. You’ll wish you’d done it years ago.

Can we get back to the topic, as this is getting on my pip now.

I’m looking forward to the soon to be announced Lyle & Scott day at Adams Park. Get yourselves down TK Maxx now.

Wimbledon aside we’ve had a real run of good results now.

He’s very steadily building something decent here.

Standard comfy wins like today simply didn’t exist under Doddsy. Well, maybe there was one comfy 2-0, but that would have been the absolute exception.

Found a daming stat on twitter

Dodds only won 9 out of his 31 games in all comps

Duff won 7 in his first 11 games

If I was Mike Dodds and I wanted to get back into being a Head Coach or Manager, I would be ringing up MIke Duff to find out where I was going wrong and why he’s getting the best out of the same players.

Not a criticism as such…just as a learning exercise

Duff has made the best start since Peter Taylor and it’s a damn sight more entertaining!

Dodds is a youth team manager. That’s what he is good at. I’m sure he’ll find work at that level again.
