For semi-Seething Dave it's been the best of times, the worst of times, as he semi-simmered over lost points and the contractual obligation to look back through the transfer window at the lost horizons of lost boys. Oh, and a spot of GBH on our Morgs:
"Bitterly disappointed, up to penalty we were much the better team...then a tale of two penalties that changed the game...their keeper... that's assault on a football pitch"
How did we avoid victory this week?
"The players didn't do enough to win second half...the players have to understand why they were playing so well in the first half, should have been out of sight"
Are we ever going to keep a keeper on the pitch for more than a couple of games?
"Pym? Dead leg, hopefully nothing more sinister. Seb's not had much to do, he was fine. Harvey? Weeks, don't know how many. Emergency loan? We'll look at that, depends on what Christy is or isn't, if you like"
I think we all know what Christy is, but what about Cartwright 2 Dave?
"His ceiling is fairly high, but he's got to find his feet first."
But what about his elbow?
The Scouse Squeaker went through the motions if not the emotions, dropping in the obligatory genuflection to Great Grimsby along the way:
"We know their qualities but sometimes it's difficult to stop...we knew where would hurt them in the wide areas."
and so on.
