Pools had a gilt-edged chance in the 14th minute but messed it up. Seemed like that had to go in to give them a fighting chance. Other than that, as is always the case recently, there was only one team in it and we won at a canter. Don't think they are bad enough to be relegated, we were just a...

They are up to their billhooks in the mire and he knows it. What a load of tosh!

Even though we have been excellent at the back recently, I just can't see us keeping Akinde out for 90+ minutes. I think it will be 1-1 but I would take that, especially with the two home games coming up, both very winnable.

Felt for Orient a bit today. Could see they were trying but there was only one team in it. Look like one of the favourites for relegation if nothing changes.

Reasonably confident about this one (famous last words). Will we see an appearance from Ollie 'Goal-Machine' Palmer or is he out of the picture?

We haven't conceded in 4 but a couple of these against opposition of questionable quality. We have so many new faces it is almost impossible to predict a result but I would be more than happy with a point here.

What about the two headers from corners in the first half? Were a bit '50p head' but still both good chances, one in particular. Also the one where your goalie made a good save to tip it out? That was heading in. The point is, please don't be under the delusion that your defence has suddenly...

Can't agree with this. We had more than one good chance. Have you watched the game back?

Why of course, you?

Thought the defence was poor tbh. We were gifted one gilt-edged chance and fluffed it. Also missed a couple of very good chances from headers when virtually unmarked. It was our lack of accuracy rather than good defending which kept us out.

What do you know about him?

If the players can't be bothered as mentioned previously, it will be a long afternoon for the 'Pies. Surely the players will try to impress the new owner? At least try to make a game of it as it's a derby?

I suppose the 'interesting' and 'should have stuck to snooker' jokes have already been done.

Fairly comfortable win TBH. Crewe had their chance to make a game of it during their 10-minute spell of pressure at 2-0. Other than that there was only one team in it. Could, and probably should, have been six with 3 glaring misses.

Spot on with the first part. How long before the second part comes true?

Crewe out of form, so were Morecombe Boxing Day! Think it will be a disappointing 1-1.

We've become a little leaky at the back and are still toothless going forward. Oh well, a least the midfield is.....erm....average?

Yep, only one outcome from this. It's just a matter of damage limitation.

It appears Morecombe have more to worry about than this game. I hope they can overcome their issues off the field as we don't like to see any team fold. We should win this but probably a close game. 1-0 Stags.

Exeter were bound to come good at some point. They were my 'dark horse' for the play-offs this season and it looks like it may actually happen. All the best for the rest of the season lads.
