Two games ... two wins and for the first time ever the Conference have had to postpone a match because of international call ups.

That Brian Little, eh?
How did he ever manage in the Premier League?

Fairly successfully, if I recall.

I was just reading his Wiki page, and he did okay at Leicester and Villa, but his fall from grace has been a rapid one. I mean, I'd take him at St Albans, but that's not saying much, really.

I'd not have him at my lot.
Is he the new Mike Walker then?

Well, he has plummeted, Peter Taylor style, since he left Aston Villa in 1998. Premier League to sacked in the Conference in ten years.
Bear in mind, EIM, that, when I say that I'd take him at our lot, I'd ask you to remember that the current St Albans manager missed the second match of the season, on Bank Holiday Monday, because of "family commitments", which I took to mean a day out at the seaside.

If he had a higher media profile, of course, or even chosen his jobs more carefully, he could have kept struggling, but in higher divisions. Some poor fuckers have none of the luck.
Peter Taylor is all the more mystifying/amusing, given that he managed England for one game not all that long ago.

Actually, what's mystifying about that isn't Taylor's (hey, great name) fall from grace, but the fact he ever graced in the first place. Peter Taylor? England manager? Have a word with yourselves, FA.

The best thing about Taylor is that he got sacked from those stinking, pissy, wankheads Stevenage. Their continued failure to get into the Football League is one of the few bright spots in football for me, these days.

He wasn't exactly sacked. More a mutual parting of the ways.
I see Wycombe lost 7-0 at home this evening. In the tinpot cup, but still...
Remember, Wycombe fans, after 8 games at in charge of Leicester, he had them top of the Premiership (a key factor in the FA asking him to look after England for that Italy match).

What about Histon instead? The return of John Beck. Exactly what League Two is crying out for.

Nice to see that the holders are out.
Brighton are through, too. Their 73rd draw in a row, I think. I didn't even know they were playing Orient tonight. I'd probably have popped up there if I had.
Getting back to the Conference, only 876 at Crawley tonight. Second lowest home crowd in the league tonight.

Having looked up the Wycombe team for tonight compared with last saturday, there were a some changes but it wasn't wholesale. 6 players started both games, a further 2 who started tonight came on as subs on saturday and all three of the subs used during tonight’s game were in the starting Xi for the league game. Only two of the league Xi didn't play a part in the cup home annihilation.
