He certainly talks the talk - let's see if it converts into performance on the pitch. Trust in Dougie.

Dad and I watched games standing on the muddy slope of the Holmesdale Road end. He cheered and I rattled.

Scenario: Munoz's first training session. Receives the ball, sees the green field ahead of him, and takes off past the halfway line.

Roy: Hold it! Stop the game! Just hold up for a second! Thank you. Now you must be the new fellow, Daniel I think it is?
Munoz: Yes boss, Daniel Munoz, this is my first session with the boys.
Roy: You're new here Daniel, so I'll cut you a little slack. Tell me, what do you think you are doing charging past the halfway line? No full back in my team is allowed to do that!
Munoz: It is the way we South Americans play, we love to get forward and score goals!
Roy: Well not in my team Daniel, is that clear?
Munoz: Yes boss. It's just that when I met Mr Steve and Mr Dougie they said they were very happy to have me join and that they hadn't seen a defender run forward in an age. They said that if it's one thing I must do it is to play my natural South American game and get forward and score goals!
Roy: They did did they?
Munoz: Yes boss, just as I said!

Because regulation or because Roy?

Ward will have his bus pass before he leaves.

Red and Blue Army!

Rumour has it that he will start against Brighton on Saturday.

So, just like Patrick van Aanhault then?
