Born in Aylesbury, played for pox, but his grandad is a massive town fan and he's always looked out for us apparently.  Not strictly home town boy but not too far.

Married in Lambourn now living in Lambourn his mother is sister of Johnny Francombe and his Grandfather Norman Francombe is Swindon through and through, Sam grew up watching Swindon so apart from being born here I'd say he pretty much qualifies as local.

This makes me feel old, John Francombe was in the year below me at Park Grammar...   and Jill Francombe was in my class, I think she was John's cousin though.

Their 2nd goal was pretty shite defending - the cross comes in for the guy to score completely unmarked - but their 3rd goal has to be the shittiest piece of defending ever. 4 of the Sheff U players were running in to receive the cross.....against 2 of our defenders. That's piss-poor.

The 1st was a fluke, the 4th was just pinball (shit defending nonetheless - our defenders seem incapable of hoofing a ball clear) and the 4th was a good piece of skill by the United player.

Basically, 3 goals as a result of shit defending. If it were only 1 I wouldn't be so concerned........

True enough.... Cool

Let's hope the final's not the same (for our defenders).

You could argue that all 5 of ours we scored were down to shit defending at one point. Most of it was to do with the way the game panned out, they were playing 2-3-5 near the end, so we were bound to get overloaded. In essence nothing to fret about. 1-0 or 9-8, I don't mind at Wembley.

Meh. When we played Preston at home it was on the back of an extended break before which we'd been conceding loads of sloppy goals. We won 1-0.

If we go 1-0 up at Wembley, invade the pitch. The Football League will let the result stand* and give us a mere 200k fine.

* or is that only for Blackpool
** oh wait, we aren't Villa, it'll be relegation for us.
