    I think Warrington is slightly different to the others, because it is only due to age, lack of experience and location that he is even at this level. He was close to Everton's first eleven when they had injuries a few weeks ago, and is definitely considerably better than League Two standard...

    I thought Armstrong should have received a straight red for the initial challenge, let alone the second one, but Weaver has predictably claimed Harrogate were robbed of a result. We had struggled to break down their back five when they had a full complement, but it is impossible to know how the...

    Friday & Saturday 4th/5th March

    I think based on the general play over ninety minutes we deserved to take something from the game today, but we did not due to our inability to deal with Northampton's set plays. Their first and second goals were both direct from corners and were defended terribly, albeit they were good...

    I think that is very decent considering our away form.

    We had a five or six point cushion at one stage, but we have been fortunate that a number of teams have dropped points in games they were expected to win while we have been on this poor run. I hope our luck holds for one more game and Exeter and Mansfield draw on Friday night. It is interesting...

    A pretty good night for us.

    Absolutely gutted after that and I felt for our players at the end. It was a tight game as anticipated, but I thought we were the better side and had shown more quality in the final third. There were not a huge number of chances, but Hawkes missed a sitter in addition to our goal and there...

    There are 70mph winds forecast for the Wirral tomorrow. The pitch will be fine, but if there is any damage to the main stand roof it is a definite postponement, as we won't be able to get up there until next week to inspect it. Smurthwaite is a friend of Palios from his days as an accountant...

    We did dominate possession in the second half and Hemmings had a good chance to equalise, but we were lacking quality in the final third all game. Injuries have really hit us, with O'Connor and Nevitt both ruled out before kick off, in addition to Spearing and Glatzel who were already out. We...

    Blimey, that performance assumes more lustre as the months pass. Personally, I thought it was only bettered by Brazil v Italy in 1970.

    We are missing a couple of key players in Glatzel and Spearing, so if there is a good time to play us it is probably now to be honest. I am not particularly relishing the game, but I think Mellon will make changes and I expect we will be better than we were on Saturday.

    Lol, where did I say it would be easy ? I was challenging someone who said it was an easy game for you, and painted us as rank outsiders. I think a neutral would say a draw is the most likely result given your home form, but I don't think it is outlandish to say you will have to play well to...

    I would be very surprised if the game was called off. The drainage has been superb since we relaid the pitch a couple of years ago.

    Realistic ? We have conceded one goal in open play in thirteen matches, with the exception of the Forest Green game, and have lost two in fifteen, with one of those defeats against the league leaders. We were very poor on Saturday but I would expect a reaction tomorrow night. Hartlepool will...

    The gate was 5,767 apparently. I won't know the away figure until I buy a programme next week, but it looked about 350 from Swindon.

    We gave Swindon a bit of a tonking tonight, the first time that has really happened this season. We could have been a couple of goals up after twenty minutes, with Warrington firing wide from the edge of the box and Glatzel hitting the woodwork, in addition to our opener. Swindon came back into...
