Talking to a Premier League scout about Adelakun a while back and I suggested that we should try him in the middle. He agreed that the lad has exceptional pace over the first few yards, a cracking shot and can have close control of a very high level. All important attributes for a central...
Watched it on the iFollow thingy and it pretty much went the way I thought it would. Alexander is talking up the performance and I've read other managers and pundits who have said pretty much the same, but the way we played will never be competitive with a side challenging for a top 6 place...
Don't bring your Lincolnshire L2/Non League rivalry onto this forum please. This is for L1 clubs and supporters. It will be okay to come back in April, if either of you are already promoted and you wish to present your credentials. Otherwise, fuck off.
I'm with you on this BD. 2-0 home win. If it is going to be anything different, then it'll be in Rotherham's favour I would think. Just hoping it is not another 5-0 as I witnessed at Millmoor all those years ago.
Beaufighter - I arrived at Heathrow from SE Asia early in the morning of that Saturday. I made regular visits to London for business meetings back then and they were planned for the following week. Whenever the occasion arose and if I could fit it in, I would get to a Scunny game. That day...
The chances are that the Shrews will not keep it up. Fixture pile up, injuries and suspensions likely to come. If the squad is strong, it might help you through these potential hurdles. Good luck and I hope you stay in the automatic mix. We will not be bothering you.
An expected result. We were very poor again, no pace going forward. That's the main difference to last year. Wigan better side and deserved the points. Ref was rubbish. We're looking an expected (from my expectations anyway) mid-table side.
McArdle has settled well and is proving fairly...
I predicted a 3-0 win for Shrewsbury in the pub beforehand, basing that on our inability to score and Shrewsbury's great start to the season. Our defence had to be overcome sometime soon, especially with a young inexperienced lad in at fullback due to injury.
What turned out to be was a...
I was hoping for a win, but not expecting one. I predicted a 0-0 before kick-off because we can defend, but cannot score. We are in the the top 6 because of our defensive play alone. I was one of the 158 Scunny fans at the game and was happy to come away with a point. I agree that the ref...
There has been a gap between L1 and L2 for a while now, IMO. We noticed it a few seasons ago, when we were promoted out of the worst L2 (or 4th level) I have ever seen. It has taken a while to sort out our management, club structure and playing staff to compete at L1 level. For a team to be...
Surprised to see Pompey not having much threat up top. I was expecting much more. Maybe too much, I guess. Does pre-season down your way involve standing some players in pig shit for a month, with daily watering? Some tall players out there. Mostly crap though. Bad miss in the first half...
Did Morris ever play wide left midfield in a 4-4-2 set up with you guys? Morris has looked Championship quality in that position, but whenever Alexander has changed the formation to wing backs, eg 3-5-2 or 5-4-1, he has struggled. Even when we played poorly with a diamond, he was off his game.
If they beat us on Saturday, they will certainly believe they can. We are overdue a win against them. I'm expecting a tough but good game, with both teams currently in a bit of form.
3 points, clean sheet, 4-4-2. I think Alexander has got it now.
Professional performance against a physical Bury side. Useless referee. I was closer to Adelakun's disallowed goal than the lino who flagged it. At a better angle too.
Morris's winner was absolute quality. Fantastic skill to...
