Right, unlike last month, I've not forgotten to do name a player of the month, but given the way things have gone, it does seem rather a hard nut to crack, doesn't it? Let's briefly review our matches in June and we can see just how…
For the first time in what seems like a long time, I'm not unhappy with a draw. Far from unhappy, actually. Perhaps it was the nature of our three-game losing skid, wherein anything that wasn't another loss seems like, well, a win. I mean,…
