It’s Tuesday morning, and I’m spending it at the desk. Teams open, Outlook open, and the #BWFC hashtag open on another tab as I watch in awe as Chris Forino mounts a serious challenge against David Wheater for Wanderers seshmaster.

When Bolton signed Amario Cozier-Duberry on loan last summer, I must admit, I did not know a lot about him. Blackburn fans I spoke with talked of a player who threatened brilliance but failed to string successive performances together. Arsenal fans I know (Currently blocked on WhatsApp due to complete unbearableness) spoke of a highly-rated young player who was unfortunate to graduate from their Hale End academy as a Right=sided attacker when they are so blessed with young players in that position.

Here we are again, then. The playoffs await us, and all we can really do is hope. There’s no amount of psyching yourself up you can do for these types of games.

Football is changing. Intensity used to mean moving the ball from defence to attack as fast as possible, now it refers to being out of possession and constantly pressing the opposition. This new level of intensity has to be met every game or the standards are dropping, the players aren’t good enough, or they don’t care enough.
