I'll be completely honest here Fletch and say i have no idea. I'll assume you're right though. I do though recall several occasions that we brought Joe Oastler on to try and protect a lead, with pretty hideous consequences. Thankfully, Bucks appears to have overcome his desire to close games out now. He's given the players the freedom to stay on the front foot and we look much better for it.

Correct me if im wrong but didnt we try using him to hold the ball up in the opposition half and take the pressure off? Maccy and Aldershot when we were getting pushed back spring to mind. Didnt have any effect that I could see though.

So, what you're saying is, he either owned the place, or got kicked out for starting a punch up, but you don't recall which?

Oh man, I'm glad you're here, you brighten my day.

C'mon cut the kid some slack. There's many a morning I've woken up with with a few bruises and a severely depleted bank balance and thought ... Did I start a punch up?? Or did I buy the pub?? Or both?? =Z

Uhm, being as i was like what? 7 years old... yeh i remember a lot back then..

i swear he owned the bar or Alex Russell did, but i know gritton had something to do with it, whether he had a fight or something.
But yeh, he's gone sh*t... has he even scored this season?

Yes...

And the moon is made of cheese and if you tap red shoes together and say "there's no place like home" you'll be magically transported to Torquay seafront! =D

I have no idea Scotty, who owns what, might be true, but he's Scottish, don't they only own moose heads on plaques and whiskey?

Matt.

Didnt Gritton own the bar/hotel thing thats burnt down on Abbey sands?
or was that hill/russell?

(I think it used to be called Mojo?)

True, but that can't be said of Zebroski

Good luck to him. He lacks pace, and is hardly prolific. But he offeres something to a team that's in a fight. He has an excellent attitiude, and offers an outlet to teams that are under the cosh (as Yeovil are likely to be more often than not for the rest of the season). I still think if he'd been brought on in those games that we were defending a lead, we might not have dropped as many points as we did. The ball kept coming back to us as we had nobody capable of holding it in the opposition half of the pitch. He could have done that, and no doubt that's what Yeovil are hoping for. The criticism of his return is unjust - very few players perform as well during a second spell at a club - have people forgotten David Grahams second coming?

odds he scores at the weekend?

They must be desperate.
Good in 03/04 yes, but this season... trash.

Living very near Yeovil surrounded by Yeovil supporting mates, I knew he was on trial but assumed nothing would come of it. Then their target man dislocated his shoulder scoring against Exeter last week and they've signed him up. I've been assured that he is fourth choice striker and will leave at the end of the season, however I wagered a small amount that he'll start against us when we're at Huish Park next season

Could not believe it when I saw this.

Yes - but they are in a scrap so might prove a useful short term option for them.
