... with Horrible Hornet Don Monty

MY last wise words were made a month ago. Since then you have a new manager, a new owner.. sort of, a new ground… well, maybe not, let’s not get carried away.

Even this hardnosed Hornet couldn’t help but give a slight nod of credit to your battling display at home to the Scousers.

You haven’t had the better of a top side at home like that since those ’80s glory days… when you played on a plastic pitch, banned any other fans from turning up and made the opposition play blindfolded.

Or something like that. Still, the odd grin possibly appeared as the replay went a little pear-shaped. It wasn’t so much the floodgates opening as someone building the Channel through your defence.

Time to concentrate on the league, guys. Still, at least you can cheer yourself with the thought that the Golden Boys still can’t win at home in the league.

It’s eight games and counting now and after our keeper’s howler last weekend it’s hard to know where the next win is coming from. We might not go up. You’ve got to feel for us.

Glory Horns!
