    McCoulsky could do with some minutes... But best leave alone I think.

    Final league matches 2020/21

    If the score remains at nil nil on 60 minutes we need to add ether Young or McCoulsky. When we are getting forward we lack the experience in and around the box without Matt. As it is, we don't look like scoring. A bit early to panic, but...

    RIP Lee Collins

    Shocked and saddened to hear the news of Lee Collins passing. So young. He was one of those players whose commitment and reliability was unrelenting. A super professional. So sad. RIP Lee

    Who will be in the top 7

    You make reasonable points, our immediate surroundings are pretty rural, but for an area covering Gloucestershire at large and beyond, South Gloucestershire for instance, there is plenty of latent interest, probably people interested in sport for sport sake, but without undying loyalty. I would...

    Who will be in the top 7

    We've been reasonably consistent, but when I look at the remaining fixtures, it's scary! You need strength is depth, we have more so this term, but key injuries (we've picked-up a few of those in recent games) may still unstabilise our options in some games in the coming weeks. should come back...

    Tuesday 2nd March 2021

    Some very good players missing for us, but that is not as bad as when someone is lost unexpectedly. We've had time to fully prepare, so on balance we should get a result in what I expect to be a low scoring encounter. As we saw against Southend last Wednesday, fail to prepare, and prepare to...

    Boxing Day Fixtures

    Not loosing 3 points to a current rival should help eventually. Also no shame in sharing the spoils with a very decent opposition. So pretty happy. Sweeney will be having nightmares when he relives his slip-up. But we didn't or weren't able to push later in the second half. So the point was...

    Boxing Day Fixtures

    Some interesting dynamics to this game. Very hard to separate. Covid intervention, Home advantage with a passionate crowd, free scoring home side, against a team with a very good away record and a mean defence, plus this season a good record playing teams contending the top positions. I think...

    10th of October games

    I'm sure you have improved, even at this early stage you can discern subtle changes even if it isn't already an obvious seed change. You had a reasonable season last term, pushing for the play-off at times. Looking optimistic for you, that"s as much as anyone can expect with things as they are...

    10th of October games

    You've taken points this season. You had a bad day, and we had our best finishing performance in quite a long time. I doubt these circumstances will arrive again so quickly. You are at home to Cambridge next week, but an ideal opportunity to get a big slice of confidence back.

    Saturday 15th games

    I doubt we'll get anything from today, but a point would really help. Talk about rag tag and bob tail. Cooper will get it right again, but that's not likely to be anytime soon. A bit of tinkering is not going to do it. A new plan needed, that won't happen with the many waif and strays we've...

    18th Jan match thread

    I think it's fair to say we've reached a plateau with Mark Cooper. We've always struggled to score under his tenure, but kept a descent defence. Now we have pretty much neither. Questions will be asked, why has the goal keeping position been treated with less than the importance it deserves...

    18th Jan match thread

    I think a draw is most likely result against a bolstered Salford. Meer vegans can't compete with the carnivores of this world, a bit like Steak vrs Chips. Maybe our non-league striker addition will come good:box: Come on you plucky underdogs:dry:

    Jevani Brown currently at Colchester to us on a loan. Looks like this one may be close to done. Only six months into a two year deal, presumably down the pecking order at Colchester? He has more experience than our current crop, so suspect he would be a useful addition...
