Weirdly, given that we've never won at Oakwell in 29 visits, we were the better team for a lot of the game against Barnsley's reserves and it took the inevitable 98th minute equaliser to ensure our curse there continues. We did at least win the shootout, to inevitably draw Mansfield away in...

Commiserations, Pools fans. An entertaining end of season scrap at Prenton Park. Not sure how Grimsby failed to score, considering they were the better team for most of the game, but we'll take it. Atmosphere was non-existent, excluding the Harry Haddocks in the away end who came in decent...

That game was of a standard somewhere around national league north and we managed to make Rochdale almost look like a good side at times. We need a clear out in the summer, and to appoint the right manager (which Palios does not have a great track record of), otherwise I'm genuinely concerned...

221 Tranmere at Crawley.

Poor game between two poor sides that I already have zero recollection of, excluding the brief moment Tom Davies attempted to be Paulo Maldini and nearly set up a genuinely quality goal. Hawkes naturally missed the target. Roll on end of the season. How Johnny Williams ever played for Wales I...

Mellon out etc.

Sylla had a fantastic game, MOTM by a distance

Credit to Pools for turning up to play football instead of shithousing. Neither team looked especially sharp going forward and the draw was probably fair. We didn't turn up first half but were the better team in the second. Never a penalty, at least from where I was standing; defender's gone...

Very worrying to be outplayed like that at home by a team second bottom of the league who haven't won away all season. I obviously accept that Morris and, despite underperforming all season, Hemmings have been missed and that our recruitment has left a lot to be desired going forward, but...

Terrible game, terrible atmosphere, insipid performance. Crawley had most of the better chances from what I remember, Joe Murphy made a couple of good saves and obviously the penalty miss was a shocker. Any talk of us making the playoffs is delusional though. 0-0 looks a decent bet against...

That was absolutely spineless, devoid of any creativity, we managed zero shots on target and if Mansfield had gone for the kill in the second half instead of saving energy and letting us have the ball, we'd have lost 5-0. Which is exactly the same things I said after Tuesday at Bradford. One of...

I made it in the ground with thirty seconds to kick off, the motorway wasn't fun at all.

It was obvious to all what the game plan was in fairness. Not questioning its effectiveness in what's an atrocious league, but the home support seemed equally annoyed with you passing the ball around the back four at 2-0 up against a team who were never going to score against you.

That was painful. We started out ok until Morris went off, but once Bradford scored, we were never coming back from it. After tonight, teams must have learned by now to shoot on sight against us, as our keeper is shall we say not the most proficient at his job (with that second goal being the...

Ouch. Just the 1,300 less than last year... I know it's Valentine's Day, but that's the mood around the club summed up perfectly.

We do indeed have nothing up front as you say, we've earned most of our points this season through being solid at the back, yet Cogley at right back had an uncharacteristic shocker and our keeper is inexperienced to the point of naiveite. Wouldn't be surprised if we resort to 41 year old Joe...

Very weird game where we were awarded a very strange penalty where the linesman flagged for offside, half the players stopped and half carried on, yet the ref played on and gave the subsequent foul in the box. We did however return the favour by gifting two goals through messing around at the...

1,597 Tranmere, as announced over the tannoy

Much better from us today, lad from Bristol Rovers never stopped running and I'd say we edged it. Tight game with few chances and Kane Hemmings missing an open goal from two yards out at the end is well worth a watch on the highlights. Unbelievable miss. Not to scare Orient fans or anything, but...

Lack of cutting edge from both sides - Walsall offered next to nothing going forward and we really should have won that if not for another keeping error (different keeper, same shtick). Hewelt does have excellent distribution though, and that definitely helped in other aspects of our...
