Forgot to say Arblaster for Vale looked a quality player.

Not sure the ref was a Homer he gave us nothing apart from the penalty. Just generally poor I reckon. Happy with a point, but it should really have been 3 with the penalty, but that would be harsh on Vale who look a nice tidy team, move the ball well, and are competitive all over the field...

What made me laugh was the way Reading bigged-up the result failing to mention they were playing a team of quite literally kids. Just shows how desperate things are for them at the moment. I guess it passes the time till the next points deduction.

Think there may be a change or two up top for us against Vale, but what exactly that change will be is difficult to predict. We now have good options which is unheard of for us over the past few years. This has got draw written all over it, but I expect it to be a highly entertaining one, as...

No doubt it’s a more open league this year without Ipswich and Sheff Wed, but another couple of losses for the teams at the bottom and you can see a gap beginning to grow down there already. Up top will be far more interesting this year and I can see it being a pretty open race for not just the...

There are so many good things going on at our club at the moment that it’s difficult to be critical, but that new badge design is just terrible. Given the fan reaction I doubt it will go much further than the waste bin.

Never mind the biggest grudge derby in division one history is not far away when you visit the Abbey shortly ha ha

Very happy with those 3 points, hard won if a bit scrappy at times particularly in the first half. After the break we looked far more effective and dangerous and were deserved winners in the end. Great to have a subs bench that can impact the game this year. Not sure if it was a good watch on...

Someone on our message board saying it’s Lincoln

Hoping we can bounce back against Reading after what sounded a dreadful off day at Orient where we just couldn’t get on the front foot and gave away two poor goals. Think Bonner may tweak the starting line up and try Okenabirhie up front with Adhame now he is back to fuller fitness, as he got...

He is not the player he was in his time at Exeter from what I’ve seen. He’s become very petulant and nasty to, a red card walking in the games I’ve seen him recently. Still that doesn’t mean he couldn’t rekindle the undoubted skills he HAD at Exeter where he was a bloody nuisance against us!

That works both ways though,Kaikai, Brophy and Liam Bennett will love the extra space to work in, Dunk too if Andrew is rested for this one. The team who has the best organised full back/ wide player tracking back combination will win. I think we might just have that with the settled side we...

Loving our new rivalry with giants of midlands football Port Vale.

Tight game against a very organised and committed Stevenage, classic Evans ball. On that basis they should be fine, although they didn’t carry too much of a threat right up top. All the danger comes from their defenders at set pieces. We were patient after going behind and thoroughly deserved...

Looking like a very decent (for us) opening day crowd against Oxford with 3 of the 4 home areas, plus away stand sold out. This game could go anyway, with any score line possible. Think our ‘new’ defence and more combative midfield might see us squeak a 1-0 win, but I’m not confident enough to...

Kaikai back on a one year deal. That’s one crossed off the needed list. Out and out winger with pace and a decent goal threat. Happy with that.

Really surprised you rate him that highly. Was a real enigma whilst at Cambridge, brilliant one minute, utterly ineffective and greedy the next. Not a team player at all, with rumours he was a bad egg in the camp to boot. If he had progressed that far, then his off field antics are even more...
