It would be funny if it was even remotely true, except before today we've won 4 and drew 3 against Lincoln, MK Dons, Exeter, Colchester and Carlisle in 7 total games.
We're playing okay, obviously going to be some growing pains with this new system. Hope we stick with it this time.
Bit of a strange game to try 352 again but I think we're better equipped for it now in terms of personnel. Surprised he's thrown Ohman straight into the mix though. I said in August he would try this again around January after a few more signings and I'm with him in that it can well be the best...
Yep I agree with that, I said earlier that I wouldn't be surprised to see Woolford start ahead of Pringle for his defensive work to help cover Ring, but when we're at our best it's when Pringle is combining with Embleton and Vernam, so I guess I'm banking on him playing well today. Woolford...

I think that's as close to our best team as we can get if everybody is fit and ready, and I believe it's a team capable of beating Lincoln. When we play well, we play very well but we've not had much of...
I thought Hessenthaler ran the show at Blundell Park in August and if Clifton is out, he is going to be our most important player by some margin this weekend. Those two have completely bossed it in midfield lately and Hess might have a two man job on his hands as our other centre mids don't have...
First scorer was fine but the second guy along with the number 10 went out of their way to get a reaction. Will never understand it. It doesn't personally wind me up as much as it does others but when they do it for no reason, it's just weird. I'm all for footballers giving it back but don't go...
Crap from us today, a very lethargic first half against a Macclesfield side full of desire who took full advantage. Two really poor goals to concede. It was simply a case of shutting up shop from there for Macc. We came out second half and gave it a good go for half an hour or so, can't fault...
If VAR is going to happen, we should absolutely be able to hear what the officials are discussing, both on television and in the ground. Also probably just keep it to goal decisions, ie offsides or goal line checks. There's no need for the entire game to be ruled by it.
I think if it was a horrific tackle and a red without any sort of debate to be had, there would be no complaints. It wasn't a good tackle, it was off the ground and slightly high but it wasn't sickening. It wasn't much different to Kompany's the other night. I don't think anybody would've...
What's pleasing about the performance is that it was very similar to the Exeter one. It wasn't just a one off for a big game, it's becoming a consistent thing how resilient we are. To stay so organised with that many players out of position shows just how good a manager Michael Jolley is...
What a performance from us. With no recognised centre backs and 10 men the entire game, the fact we only conceded one is incredible. It's obviously gutting with it being so late but we had no right getting a result in that game. Would have been amazing to get one but you won't find any Town fans...
Seeing the challenge again, it was most likely a red although you see them get away with a yellow a lot of the time. The fact the ref waved play on and some good time had passed before the red was given leaves a bitter taste but we've handled Palace tremendously well so far. I think we can...
Didn't get the stream up in time for the incident but it was originally a yellow and then changed to a red after a VAR review. Extremely disappointing.
Backs to the wall stuff already as you can imagine but Thomas had gotten behind twice already so if we can by some miracle hold on, we could nick a goal.
Can't see anything less than a battering tbh. If we're gonna get a result it will have to be a case of us matching their bucket load of goals opposed to parking the bus.
It's a shame we haven't got a full strength side to field as with the character and the balls we've had recently to defend a league game like our lives depended on it, I can only imagine how far we'd go to defend a massive cup tie. My head obviously says we'll get battered by a good margin but...
Harry Cardwell has signed a contract extension until the end of next season. Young player that gives nothing less than 100% every game but I thought he'd likely be one to replace at the end of this season. Jolley seems to have a lot of faith in him though and hopefully he can improve with games...
Well it sounds like we gave it a good go with a very patched up team. 0-1 isn't a terrible result under the circumstances. Mansfield have a bit of a dirty streak about them but you can't argue with their quality. By far the best team we've played on two occasions now and I wouldn't be surprised...
Just seen it on Twitter and that is absolutely pathetic by both player and referee. Really embarrassing. What a strange game this is turning out to be.
Mitch Rose booked after he's kicked the air in frustration and their player has threw himself to the floor crying, and play continues with a throw in. Shithouses everywhere you look today it seems.
