We Wrexhamed it, looked fairly crap for the most part but made the most of a Hudds defensive arse-up to get the 1-0. Still far from convincing, and the auto slot is no longer in our hands, but at least we're not completely dead in the water. Still wouldn't fancy us against Charlton or Stockport...

wish we could do this, in recent times we seem to have a complete phobia of 2 up front, god knows why - maybe they just don’t teach it any more in coaching school.

Yeah, I think so. Even if the 2nd auto spot is gone (which I think it is, given a) our relative run-ins b) our inability to perform consistently) then the longer that our form is wank, we're pretty much handing the playoffs on a plate to Charlton or Stockport, through a lack of confidence...

It’s a pointlessly escalating arms race though, I guess the winners in this are the players and their agents, who make more and more in wages and fees. But the actual quality of the end product doesn’t necessarily go up. There always seems to be new loopholes to circumvent any attempt to...

A few teams making up games in hand. Depending on how results pan out, I believe that Brum’s promotion could officially be confirmed today. Big games in the arse end of the playoff hunt for Bolton and Reading. Our auto hopes are progressively fading, but if we could get a result at Hudds then...

Very poor. We’re not coming back from this, it’s definitively advantage Wxm now and I can’t see us beating any playoff contender over 2 legs in the form we’re in right now. Another season of L1 beckons - it is what it is. This is not over-reaction to today’s result, just our overall arc of...

We started brightly v Reading but the game has petered out into stalemate and a draw is fair so far. Wxm are obviously going to win given Burton had a man sent off on 10 mins so the onus is on us to get a result today, we’ll have to step up a gear to do it though and Dodds is typically too...

He was dogshit for us, but to be fair he was coming back from a long time out, and we totally didn’t play to his strengths. He is doing pretty well for Col U in fairness, 13 goals this season is nothing to be sniffed at, even if he is a petulant knob.

2 early kickoffs in the promotion hunt, we face a tricky away game at the home of Select Car Leasing, whereas Wrexham will presumably frolic to a routine grindy win v Burton. I can see wins for most of the top 8 if I'm honest, though Reading and ourselves have a fair chance of cancelling each...

the "handball" wasn't one, I don't think, but the lunge from behind was fucking dodge. And yeah, we do have a shit run-in, as I've said on here before I can see us even falling further into the playoff places in favour of Charlton, we're out of form at exactly the wrong time. I'd give us at...

and Ryan Loft hitting the woodwork, sounds like it's got everything

I think 50 is the general magic number but I feel like 47 would probably see you safe this season, obviously it will depend on how much of a fight Crawley/Burton put in for the next few weeks.

Nah, no such thing. Would imagine your boys will be champing at the bit still to impress the new gaffer (if they’re not then fair dos, you really are fucked). Plus WW old boys Gape and Wheeler will no doubt be itching to show their best v former teammates (I know Blackman and Pierre are ex WW...

I note that the Shrewsbury Town takeover deal has apparently fallen through, again perhaps showing indicators as one of the reasons behind Ainsworth’s sudden flight. Hope they manage to sort something else out and secure the long-term future of the club.

On the Rotherham forum many seem amenable to that but the ITKs are claiming secret reasons that mean it’ll never happen.

Surely at this point Rotherham can only be capable of re-appointing former managers - Paul Warne, your time is now.

I doubt it, but the Gas do have a bitch of a run-in.

Well the number of posters sticking on here despite the recent tech cockups has definitely tailed off, but let’s keep going for now. What with recent managerial shenanigans, we get denied Ainsworth’s return to Adams Park, which is a bit of a shame but hey ho. Still a vital game (as are they...

Yeah, seriously, wtf happened? For us it seems like Mike Dodds’ true colours are along the lines of a cagey lower league Southgate, trying to bore the opposition into submission. Occasionally the attacking players have some fun but we’re generally lacking in the incisive final ball, I think...

Appleton gets the Shrews job. Not that convinced by that one myself, he did well at Oxford I guess, but less impressive elsewhere. I guess he’s got a free hit in terms of it being an unrealistic ask to keep them up, but it remains to be seen what he can bring to the table long term - still...
