    I love to see your workings out on that statement :lol: Had a feeling key man Stockley would start.

    No Jarvis?! FFS. Time for Grant to produce. Lucky lucky Vale.

    At kick off vs Morecambe I would have imagined all 4 would play vs Vale with McGoldrick rested with that game in mind. Clearly not. He's one of the top scorers and pure class. We lose JJ due to get another talentless brute so knew he would likely be out. So there is an assist or two gone...

    2024/25 League Two Promotion Thread

    Totally agree we are attempting the recognised more difficult route out of league 2 without possession and passing approach. But is it easy to change playing styles in a higher more competitive league? There are definitely some merits sticking to a style of play in the fourth tier that will be...

    I am reliably informed that our head coach has not done the mind games course yet. Well he is part time after all. Annoying but expected if one out plain bad luck if two out but if all three creative talents are unavailable it's a piss take. Reminiscence of crewe away where we had no attacking...

    Attriotnal games and low scoring tight victories is all well and good. You still only get 3 points whatever the score or entertainment level after all. But in that scenario you are only a small swing from it being attriotnal low scoring tight defeats and then the attendances drop..... fast.

    Makes it stop! Please make it stop! For the record???? Nobody else needs telling that there is no agenda, no conspiracy, no vendetta. As you said yourself the FA don't give a shit.

    It's impossible not to notice. Yo could say it's a direct correlation with them slamming on the breaks and deciding to be very consistent this past month but I'd rather be more positive and just put it down to them fully enjoying operating in their highest division for 45+ years.

    Not surprised at all about the Wimbledon and Bradford scorelines, both expected. Very surprised at the Walsall result, in the current climate that is a gimme game, you couldn't hand pick a more favourable opponent to turn up in town so to fail to win continues the unexpected stutter slide.

    We used to use the Rothmans Football Yearbook and a Tombola. Some still do.

    No Jones AND no McGoldrick would be a blow. They are our magic men with quality in their boots, the rare difference makers in tight games.

    I'm upgrading that to more than a bit of a blow. He's been very good. Only last month our part time head coach loses his assistant and one of his coaches and now he loses his head of recruitment. If Maynard gets us promoted after all this he's manager of the season without a doubt especially...

    I suspect there will be be modest away support at Vale Park on Thursday night due to it being a midweek fixture, on Sky TV and difficulties of any return by train. Overall attendance should be high mind with the enticing offers to the locals for this top of the table clash.

    Also potentially great news for Morecambe because the last team that went out their way to deprive the league of one of its most talented and exciting players were put under the 'Jodi Jones Curse'. Looks like the Shrimps may avoid the same outcome. Poor Gillingham, and their fans, they have...

    Subtle but all important amendment to your post. Maybe it's the pitch or the asbestos but plenty of the locals simply don't fancy it.
