Bolton at home. Another tough one. Ainsworth seems to have sorted out the home form a bit. Having only won 3 times at home in 2024 before he came in in November, we've now won 4 and drawn 1 of the 7 under Ainsworth.
One of the better performances the other night at Reading. Hopefully pick...
It's the paper thin squad that may hold us back. No sign of Pierre tonight. George Nurse started but went off injured again. He's had 2 years out with 2 ACL injuries. No other defenders in the squad other than the 5 that finished the game tonight.
Need to get through this run of 5 games in 14...
Another point on the board and 3 unbeaten, but can't help feel it was 2 points dropped for Salop. Reading looked poor tonight. Apart from us, not seen a team pass the ball straight out of play unopposed as much as them tonight
If only we had Stansfield on penalties.
Dominated the first 25 minutes at Reading, including Marquis missing his 3rd penalty in a row. Reading score with their first shot on goal after Hoole gets outmatched on the byline.
After the first half will feel like a missed opportunity if we don't...
Our squad is going to be stretched with 5 games in 14 days (including last Saturday), tough games at that, with Reading on Tuesday being followed by home games against Bolton, Huddersfield and Stevenage.
don't know what is a good result here. Would probably take a draw and a clean bill of...
Even if we don't stay up, he has everyone believing that we've got a good chance having looked dead and buried before Hurst left. Stay up and some would give him the freedom kf the town given we were on 8 points after 15 games and a weak squad with the lowest budget (allegedly) for the league...
Finally, back to back wins! Only seen the scores, not a bad day for us in the end. Can Mansfield please take some points off any teams at the bottom they've got left to play?!
Orient giving a good account of themselves. The coverage in general is so patronising so far. I get they're worlds apart financially, but the way they were talking pre match it's as if City are playing against a bunch of part timers
Rotherham away this Saturday. 2 wins and 2 draws from our previous visits to New York stadium. Don't think we lost at the Don Valley either. But then we've not got a good home record against them (nor Wembley).
Could really do with a win as it's now something like 86 games without back to back...
I was thinking that, as long as it was before the end of the window he can sign elsewhere.
Ainsworth did say in his 11pm interview on Monday that they'll be looking in the free agent market if there's anyone that will improve us available
It's a strange one as we've been linked with him in previous years too, certainly under Cotterill.
I would imagine he'd be coming in as experienced backup. Marquis has been a different player since Ainsworth’s inspired choice to make him captain. The partnership with George Lloyd, who doesn't...
Home form is definitely key for us. Since Ainsworth has come in we've got 4 wins from 7 at home, whereas Hurst only managed 2 wins, both against bottom of the table. Need to start picking up points away.
Ainsworth currently got 15 points from 13 games, ordinarily enough to keep you just out of...
