This Lad Deserves a Proper Send Off as Well

Stick or Twist – how do we approach tonight’s game?
After defeating Fulham, we’ve found ourselves in a bit of a dilemma. We fought tirelessly vs the Londoners on Sunday but now we face arguably two very tough games that will define our season. Will it be the season where we nearly made it in the Europa League or the season where we horribly underperformed, […]
