I'm not sure it's such a good idea to drum up big crowds for big games mid-season when the side is in such poor form and low in confidence, it just raises expectations and negativity when the team is not living up to expectations in front of their fans, and it may have caused Notts to freeze in...

Perhaps you could just take time off work and have a holiday in the West Country for both games to save the time (and probably expense) of a hellishly long round trip? Two long away trips in one week sounds pretty tiring. "...despite a referee who must have been given his whistle for Christmas"...

Not sure about the rest, but Morecambe and Cambridge at least?

Well Notts County's defence is clearly their biggest weakness, which can happen to any side low in confidence and unsettled due to injuries, and now they're struggling to score! How can a team of promotion contenders get so bad so quickly?

Another comprehensive defeat at a side no more than half decent, if the stats are anything go by. They won't be in a relegation battle as the bottom sides look pretty poor, but clearly Bruce has his work cut out to make them anywhere near promotion contenders again. What's going on with...

Hopefully for your sake the fixture backlog will take its toll on Woking, they have all those games in hand but all it takes is one slip-up and a loss in their crunch game against you and the title is yours as long as you can match their remaining results. They worked hard against us to keep the...

A real coup for Torquay to land Gary Johnson in September, who now has them top of the league in their first season at this level. When you consider how Stockport and York have struggled to adjust to life in the sixth tier in a supposedly easier division, that's a pretty impressive feat. Who...

I wouldn't totally write off Ipswich's chances. Even when they've been shite (though admittedly not to the extent of this season) they have a history of stringing together unexpected results after horrendous runs of form when they've looked hopeless (the 5-1 over West Ham in 2011/12 springs to...

All these draws and comebacks aren't doing Chesterfield much good though are they? You have to admit there's something tragicomic about their record of three defeats in 20.

Seriously, couldn't you do something about this Mansfield fan? He hasn't posted anything constructive and far as I can see the only things he posts about are slagging off all things Notts County (you can get a warning just for persistent nuisance making, even if you haven't posted anything...

Was surprised at this decision actually (but I haven't seen Wednesday play week in week out and how bad they are - from reading a couple of threads on Owlstalk, it seems not one person is against his sacking). Yes they are on a bad run, but I thought Wednesday were a team in transition and...

Apparently Villa had 26 shots on goal to Forest's 8 but Forest scored from all of their only 5 shots on target! It's a common excuse managers make when they moan they were hard done by by saying their goalie didn't have a save to make, but it seems in the case of last night's game it was valid.

Are they really related? Martin's originally from Reading and Wikipedia say Dave is Sheffield-based but they don't say where he was born. I couldn't find any confirmation elsewhere of them being father and son. Anyway, I imagine Martin hasn't been fired yet because most of their winless run has...

OK, well at least it looks like your board/owners have the interests of your club at heart, but I suppose even at fan-owned clubs not everyone makes the right decisions, and there can be in-fighting if people in charge don't agree with each other. I hope your form picks up and you stay in the...

Is your club fan-owned or is it largely the same board who managed the old Hereford?

Shame about that, I was delighted for Wimbledon and him as both an ex-Wombles and Watford player when they got promoted from League 2, and thought he'd go on to even greater things with you lot. Make sure you get a decent replacement and don't let the Dons take your League 1 place!

What has gone wrong with Bradford? I thought they were well and truly back on track when they got promoted in 2013 and reached the League Cup final, and have mostly been solid during their time back in League 1, finishing not far from automatic promotion in a couple of seasons. Realistically...

Amazing start by Accrington, can they keep it up?

Even after finishing 5th two seasons running? What's changed with your squad?

Maybe you're right about the middle bit, but consider where we were two years ago, and look at the "easy" games we failed to win - Russia, Slovakia not to mention Iceland. Look at how well Southgate is man-managing and preparing the squad and you'll see that the factors behind our success are a...
