If we replicate this form we won’t be in the playoffs…
As it is we’re one injury away from disaster in most positions and our fixture list is brutal over the next 6 weeks - after Exeter tomorrow night the only side we play in February who aren’t in the top half of League One are Man City. Fair...
It’s a great away end for making a racket. Plus pie & mash, friendly/ish home fans and some cracking boozers. Proud that we’re one of the better away days out there.
We are almost always garbage at your place. Plus we are incredibly short of attacking options with Archibald, Agyei, Graham and Ollie O’Neill all out injured & Sonny Perkins not able to make the bench due to a surfeit of loan players. If you get the first goal and then sit back we could struggle...
Heh. They’ve got absolutely no attacking quality whatsoever (even at League Two level tbh) but they are very stubborn. I think you’ll grind out the points.
They sold out. A few empty seats but they could easily have just been standing at the back of the stand. Usually announce the attendance over the tannoy but didn’t today for some reason.
1-0 here. Two good sides and a fussy ref. We’ve got a smidge more quality in the final third I think, but Reading are putting some excellent set pieces into the box. Wouldn’t be surprised at any outcome at this point.
Massive game for us this weekend. A win here coupled with a shock up at Edgeley Park would catapult us into the playoff places. Even without a helping hand from Crawley, victory would see us climb above Reading.
Our outrageous run of form has been built off of a parsimonious defence (8 clean...
Zero doubt that WAGMI will cash in, I assume? Pity he’ll be off; pretty much the only one of your players I was hoping Orient would poach in the summer.
Exeter, like their besties down the road, always travel fantastically well. Burton, Satanage and Crawley are the only true tinpotters who can go sub-100 in League One at the moment.
Not quite as bizarre as Swansea fans’ absolute limbs when we scored an 89th minute winner at the Vetch back in the days they were trying to get rid of their chairman (Tom Petty IIRC?).
Got to be pretty much last chance saloon for Burton. Wigan can play a bit but they’re probably the flimsiest side in the division aside from Crawley. Should be perfect for Burton’s anti-football shithousery.
I just want to get a better result than Salford. Great tie, mind, especially since our last good draw (Spurs at home in the league cup) got stolen from us by COVID.
We should both be on t’telly which will mean bollocks kick off times.
1-1 st half time. Fair reflection; Derby have edged it on general performance and we’ve edged it on chances. All to play for in the battle of Who Wants To Lose 6-0 To Man City’s Reserves.
Wastrel chubster and Orient misfit George Moncur has swapped National League mediocrity with Southend for a National League relegation certainty with Ebbsfleet. Imagine he’ll rock up at Chelmsford City after his contract with us expires.
Our away support is mediocre at the best of times, let alone when you’ve got to stand on an open terrace during a winter storm on the #1 hangover day of the year.
