    Lethargic as. Need a bit of a wake up.

    Wilson - Stevens combo again.

    Saturday 5th February: League & FA Cup

    The game opened-up in the end, we may rue the missed Aitchison chance just before the brake. But we found our form, that bodes well.

    Wow, What a run from Wilson. Easy tap-in for Stevens

    Saturday 5th February: League & FA Cup

    Less assured at home, and rolling on from slightly stuttering form since the covid brake, another point would be a good result today. Need Cadden back, we're not the same without him. But the lads will dig very deep for sure. Should be a right ding dong, with the league's top three scorers all...

    Obviously very happy with that result. Not what we expected, but it can often work against you when you have a larger home crowd than usual. Hard to bare. A run of two games a week coming up. Only one youngster added during the window. But it means none of a successful squad is undermined. So...

    Yep it is likely to be low scoring. We often start slowly whether by design of not. I'm sure we will be very cautious for the whole game, and see if we get a good brake. We normally come on strong on 30 minutes, I half expect something around that mark. But although a draw feels more like a...

    Love the games against Tranmere. Horrible to loose, but always get a good buzz up there. Found a great kebab shop last time for the play-off game. Won't be there today, I got rona. If we can score first, I'd like it to be late on. I don't fancy defending a lead after the harrowing second half at...

    New Year's Day 2022

    In control for most of game, but Stevenage played extremely well to keep out lots of reasonable chances. They showed good discipline and despite going behind put on plenty of pressure from there on, and it was no easy task to keep them out. A good test around for us. We were rusty, and should be...

    Very heavy snow on the hills around here. Settled too. If it stops it could melt in time.

    FGR v Tranmere Rovers: 25th Sep

    An even tussle, end to end, great to watch. Either one moment of magic or one mistake may settle it You suspect playing at this tempo will result in tired legs latter in the second half. We've missed a few good chances. Aitchison will be first to be replaced, not taking responsibility enough, or...

    FGR v Tranmere Rovers: 25th Sep

    We're a decent side for sure this season, but things still haven't shaken out. We're still nervous at home. Port Vale showed how to beat us, closing down allowing no space to play. Anyone who does the same must be in with a shout. A draw would be my guess. Expecting plenty of gamesmanship and a...

    Tue 14th & Sat 18th Sep

    Losing Godwin-Malife and Ebu Adams had disrupted our flow. I think we have compensated now. Dealing with injuries and suspensions is all part of it. Adams will be available for this match and I think we will start him in favour of Aitchison. I don't think we'll start two former Stevenage men...

    I share your frustration on this, it is inescapably embarrassing in some ways, especially if you've always followed football yourself from a very young age, and followed and attended football at all levels of the game every week. Dyed-in-the-wool support is never a given in these parts. We've...

    That was a standout game and performance today. I've never seen us looking more potent up front. Gapping wholes at the back at times though. This will happen because of how we're set-up. Some very good positional play though kept Crawley at bay, (also they were fully occupied at the other end)...

    More goals to come I'm sure. End to end.

    Trouble with going on an unbeaten run, the tension builds knowing it has to end sometime. Will it be today! Crawley have always struck me as a side with a good front line. I'm sure they will pose a real threat today. We've been resilient and stuck to it, but when you lose a player to injury that...
