LORD KATSUMOTO – 6.5/10 – Jesus H, Daizen , there’s nothing like polarisation – the hair typhoon-blown forward instead of slicked, the boots on the wrong feet as he back-heeled an open net after Plug from the Bash Street Kids dropped the ball in front of him. Then the booking – more later – but all eclipsed later in true Daizen style with a devastating run and finish to kill the mongrels stone-dead and seal the points. The fact he missed an identical run-and-shot minutes later can be overlooked. Because we love Daizen. Because he’s mental.

KENNY JOHNNY – 6.5/10 – Okay, another notched, this time a blastering rocket…Yet there’s always the notion that JK can do better, score for fun utilising that pace and the edge it gives him. But he’s still learning, so to speak, even if it’s a course that needs completed and passed by next May; and he’s doing alright through various tests, and a few trials by fire.

TUTANKHAMUN – 6/10 – He’s so close to NOT being the Tunisian Mikey J it can hurt your gums as you grind your teeth willing him to apply the finish, the final ball, the uplifting finale to some fanciful footwork. And he was close to doing it a few times today; just not quite close enough.

“Now is the(winter) season of our discontent.”
Despite the off field upheavals and on field injuries and tepid performances we are still in contention for another domestic treble.
For what it’s worth a place in the next phase of the Euro league not out of reach.
BR having added to the trophy haul despite the approbation of a section of the support and the board is now enjoying the sunshine somewhere.
It’s only 10th of Nov.
Time to catch a breath and perhaps join MON in the darkened room.
It’s a long road has no turning.
.Hail Hail.
