I am him
A vital, hardworking home win, full of the type of endeavour that has been notably absent in recent weeks. Ojinnaka and Freeman added some much-needed bite in midfield, John Marquis put in a great shift up front, and Sam Stubbs' goal capped one of his best performances in blue and amber π

Out on a deserted Shawbury Heath for the first time in 2026 this afternoon... a very respectable 28 bird species recorded, with 8 finches (including 2 brambling, and loads of Siskin), a couple of swallows, and many chiffchaff now in residence!

Hey

! Two swallows spotted on overhead wires at Brynore, near Dudleston Heath this lunchtime - is it just me, or is this very early?

We need counters for three long-standing BBS squares. Just two early morning visits between April and June, plus a recce. It's a very rewarding survey. You need to be able to identify, by sight and by sound, the birds likely to be encountered. More info:

The Daily Record: can't say I really enjoyed it when they started going on about their sex being on fire and wotnot (although a lot of people did, so good for them π) but this LP rocks in a very satisfying southern-fried way and makes me wish I owned a Les Paul.

A chastening afternoon at the Meadow. A distant second best in every aspect of the game and, after our recent run, some players clearly think we're safe and have mentally checked-out. Dismal.

inspired me to pull this C-86 era NZ Indie curio from the archive tonight. If you're a Bats or Sneaky Feelings fan there's much to like here, while the final track even foreshadows '90s Auckland outfit Chainsaw Masochist.

It might have been different had we been able to convert one of a trio of near misses in the first half but, in the end, we were largely second best for most of the afternoon to a very well-drilled opponent. Good to see SC back at the Meadow π

And so our glorious winning streak ends. The players looked jaded after successive Saturday-Tuesday games, and we struggled to impose ourselves against a resolute opponent (apart from Iwan Morgan, of course, who was π₯π₯π₯). Still, a great run and we are in a very different place now π
