Key Player
There was nothing friendly about this fixture at the start of last season … boys against men, lazy against the applied, incoherence against coherence … no matter your perspective it wasn’t pretty. 7-1 defeats are an embarrassment and a disgrace.
In hindsight, it told us everything we probably already well knew, that Andy Pandy would struggle to organize a piss-up in a brewery, and indeed he did. Just past mid-season, with astonishingly one of the best defensive records the Championship had ever seen, he trashed it in favor of something else. If we really cared, we’d figure out what the something was, but why? It was never obvious to Andy Pandy and only the detailed analysis of @CroJack could give it any form whatsoever.
Now for reasons largely unknown, Andy Pandy has departed, and today Tate steps up for match #2. A friendly it shall not be. If Tate has any management chops, today is the day he needs to put it on display. Today is the day we shall see how the near future is likely to unfold. Brace for a lesson, only the exuberance and raw talent of our youngest is likely to save us.
