In September 2011 a Spanish Court awarded €158k plus interest and legal fees to a former employee for non-payment of commission by MRI. what does this mean?

Agree with your comment on the stewards. There were a couple of incidents where they could have justifiably gone in to a situation and ejected a fan. His mates were trying to calm him down and the stewards allowed them to diffuse the situation. In many other grounds they would have piled in and made things much worse.
Perhaps they pay a bit more than other clubs do for decent stewards and that's why they charged us £28!

Nice report as always, but I could make neither head nor tail of "Nelson plays better on the left which is where he was in this one but when he has Mike Williamson next to him is on the other side". Nelson was playing as the right one of the central defensive pair, at which he is better than on the left.

(it was something my good lady wife picked up from the radio so I ran with it. possibly a load of b***x).

Nelson definitely played on the right with Mous on the left.
On the issue of centre backs - I think Mousinho is a very good footballer and that he and Nelson are the best pairing we have available. Williamson has really showed his age the last few weeks and I think Mous offers just as much experience and knowhow, but with a fair bit more more pace and energy. He's also very good on the ball on the count of being a midfielder for his entire career until about three years ago. He and Nelson both look capable of carrying the ball forward over halfway and that's how you open teams up the best, by breaking the lines from the back.

Good point about Mous - that helped with us playing football. Long may it continue. Not that I care about the Checkatrade but I expect Williamson to play in that tomorrow.

Nelson, Ribs and Henry on the right is an excellent and potent combination.
Good report especially about the beer.

Brilliant as always paul
Nelson was back on the right of the pair, he had been switched to the left side about 3 or 4 games ago I think, round about the Bradford game but my memory could be wrong. He (and we) seem 10x more solid with Nelson on the right and have done no matter who he is partnering since he came to the club, don’t ask me why.
But it seemed to be the case again on Saturday although the goal we conceded was a bit shocking and we rode our luck (fair enough, we were due some). But to concede only 1 against what looked a mobile, attacking Posh side is pretty damn good.
At the time they switched Nelson over to the left it seemed madness to me because we had looked defensively solid. It had been a minor disaster whenever Appy had persisted in putting him on the left. Surely Faz or Allen would remember this and would have said something and why fiddle with something that wasn’t broken anyway.
With hindsight I think our success was down to 3 factors:
1/ Peterborough fancied their chances and set up to play to their strengths instead of negating ours. Walsall etc had done the opposite and strangled us. We could play our game in this one and benefitted massively from that.
2/ Application, energy and effort were sky high. It is often said that 3 defeats on the bounce is when the sh1t hits the fan and most teams who are technically capable and motivated pull their finger out at that point before a “blip” turns into an all out crisis. Tangential but the same logic can be applied to teams who have won 3 on the spin, if they aren’t a behemoth like a Chelsea or a Man U, they can often be too complacent and struggle in the 4th game.
3/ Having an actual right back and centre forward playing– square pegs in square holes for once.
Lets hope Robbie Hall isn’t out for too long, that would be a blow, we’re not blessed with a lot of pace without him.
Still cant fathom why we are so much better with Ruffels in the centre!

Thanks, Paul, a great read as always. I'd be interested to know whether you think Hall's removal so early on was a positive one in the sense of how that changed our approach to the game? Whilst I really rate him, my concern at the only game I've been to this season (MK) was that too much went through him and all the opposition needed to do (in their case through fouls) was stop him playing and we had no response.

Ruffels is one of the fittest blokes around. Probably the fittest at the club. Don't want to tempt fate - but has he ever been injured? He gets about the pitch. Doesn't try fancy stuff that has very little chance of coming off. He's the sort of player that many successful teams have. Unnoticed heroes. Three goals so far, and he has not been picked in all games, is a good return.

I think that Josh's decision making is better. He may not be as technically gifted as Rothwell or Ledson, but I think he adds a balance to the centre.

Last season, the stats showed that Ruffels covers more ground than any other player every single game he played. That ground is what enables others the time and space to be creative. Mickey Lewis did the same for Jim Magilton, Beauchamp and co. But he is better technically than people think - he very rarely gives the ball away - and has the knack of finding space in the box. So I'd say that of his kind he is a pretty complete player. If he had come to us from Everton, and Ledson from Coventry and Kidlington, I reckon people would be talking him up as the next big thing, not going Ryan who, to my mind, still has to work out what sort of midfielder he is going to be.

Great piece. Close my eyes and I could have been reading Dick Tugwell. The stewarding comments brought to mind an occasion back in the early 90s when I visited London Road and had a can of ratatouille confiscated. I have yet to get it back. So much for firm and fair stewarding.

And, as for wanting it back well, I think the stewards have done you a favour! Tinned veg!!!! Disgraceful.
