Pah, I hadn't thought about it like that. I can't even comprehend how tense it would be, but it is a match to prove you are worthy of being in that league.
I'd like to see the (re)introduction of a relegated team to be included in play-offs in the league below. Maybe that could be seen as a way of removing an advantage, rather than gifting one.
I'm very interested to see if Wright and Holman will be any good in L2.
I'm rooting for Braintree, best of a terrible bunch but they've a tactically astute manager in Cowley. He'll go onto better things soon enough.
I didn't think Hartlepool were THAT terrible, passed it around neatly down the left in the first half. They probably realised Furlong was constantly out of position and couldn't win a header even if we were still playing now. How did Harrison(?) managed to hit the post during that goalmouth...
Trust me, we've already had that experience. It's the difference Derry has made, installing a never say die attitude.
'Destroyed' is a bit strong though, we were just way below par is all.
With regards to the Yellow/Amber thing, it's annoying but it has its roots. Two different armies, two...
Interesting to hear Nelson making a difference, he was so far off the pace last season. Quite possibly the worst player with the worst attitude I've seen in my time watching the Us.
INTRUDER ALERT!
I honestly believe we'll make the play-offs, our post-Money performances have been at a consistent level. If the quality isn't quite there, the effort and desire certainly has been.
We have more than matched the top teams (beaten Plymouth and Northampton), several Oxford...
Nice to hear positive things about our Gaffers, it only confirms what I already know. I really would be gutted if this loan is in view to a permanent move.
SVH is in the know, y'know.
It's obvious many people will be underwhelmed with this however, I'm excited by the fact he has every chance of surprising us. We do have a good squad, hopefully he can inspire a few (ALL) of them.
I recently commented on our MB that he screams non-league, and should be the first player out the door. THAT red card against Pompey was it for me, for a Captain to behave like that as inexcusable. He has also blamed others on numerous occasions, not the quality I want in a so-called natural...
Had to be done, unfortunately. Odd team selections and ridiculously negative second half tactics were becoming tedious, not just the fact our form has been piss poor since the Man Utd game. Not all his fault though, the experienced players we brought in just haven't been up to the standard...
Not sure where the go-to place for away fans is anymore. I recommend the Dobblers and Cambridge Blue if you're walking from the station through the housing estates.
There's several on Mill Road, White Swan, Earl of Beaconsfield and Kingston Arms (just off Mill Rd near the Swan). Then you...
