Our media team probably don't know what day of the week is. They are terrible all things considered. A website that is horribly out of date, they don't even cover reserve and U18 matches properly, they have to pay a graphics department to make their matchday graphics for them. Did they tell...
Tighter than a gnats arsehole in that top 4. We have Macc, Morecambe and Stevenage in 3 of our next 4. Absolutely have to win at least 2, probably even 3 of them.
I wonder what will be needed to finish in the top 3? 85? 90?
It was desperation to bring Westley back in the first place. I don't know how they can be so soundly run off the pitch, yet be so badly run on it. Was sacking Maamria 7 games a mistake? Was not appointing a proper new manager until December a mistake? Was appointing Westley a mistake? The answer...
I don't know why he insists on going over the top, I can only assume that he hasn't had time to process his emotions when doing these interviews. Something they are spot on, but yeah, this one was ridiculous. Claiming we could have been out of sight by half time when we managed zero shots on...
Feel for the defence and midfield, they didn't deserve to lose that game, they really didn't. Put in a valiant effort, but were let down by the keeper and front 3. Thought we started the 2nd half brightly and got what you could argue was a deserved opener.
But then Jaaskelainen comes and then...
Frustrating in the final third yet again, same story for pretty much the last month and a half now. Had a few promising attacks, but wrong choice(Walker blazing over twice) or passes being overhit/underhit/a yard behind or ahead of the intended player.
Still, after a shaky first 15 minutes when...
Not a bad team put out. Shame Anene hasn't quite made it, Powell being back on the bench is a boost. Need a big performance out of Green, hope the pace of the game doesn't pass him by. Need them all to step up, no excuse about the conditions. Just get something, a scrappy point would be...
Game on apparently. Fair play. Don't fancy our chances, we're shite whenever it's rainy, windy or both.
Need whoever starts to step up. Back 4 need to cut out the mistakes, Jones needs to prove he's the Jones of old, not just playing well against a couple of bottom half teams. Front 3 need to...
Interesting that Wrexham v Torquay was called off, and the reasons given were safety grounds plus thoughts taken to the Torquay players, staff and fans making the long journey. Few other lower leagues also called for the same reason.
Hey, if they manage to get this on, fair enough. I'd still...
I'm disappointed no decision has been made on whether this game will go ahead already. I mean, you don't need a crystal ball to know that whilst the pitch may well hold up under the weather tomorrow, it's going to be very dangerous for the 12,000 people coming to the stadium tomorrow, especially...
If it is going to lash it down, I'd rather it be off. We are dire in bad weather, which sounds pathetic but it's true.
However, doing that causes big problems. Unless they somehow manage to squeeze it in after the Macc game, the realistically earliest possible date to re-arrange would be the...
Oh for sure, but got no sympathy when the guy goes sliding in like that and doesn't win the ball. We barely pull that kind of stuff though, this is only our 2nd penalty this season. Lesson here is stay on your feet.
Just happy to get the win by any means necessary. Porter starts for the first time in 2 months and scores 2. Dale with a lovely assist on the winner. Looking forward to watching it back later.
Bonus of all this means that whilst it is still important we try and get something on Saturday, should...
Wrong thread. That's for the managerial merry go round thread.

Interesting read into what's going on at Oldham. I know the general sentiment from the fan base is that Lemsagam is a bad...

Be interesting to see where Offord ends up in the next few years. He probably lacks the height or the ariel ability to be a full time CB, but at FB? Or in CM? Could be a very good option. Exciting to think that in the likes of him, Finney, Adebisi, Heath, Griffiths and Robbins we have some...
Few issues which have prevented us reaching top form in the last few weeks. Some have hit a wall energy wise. Been leaning on the same 7-8 players for most of the season and its showed. That's why we've had to rotate guys like Kirk and Lowery.
Then we've had injuries. Yeah, no different to any...
Thing is, I do get the frustrations with him, at times. He was very wasteful on a number of occasions today, he pulled out of a few 50/50 challenges and he did so poorly on their goal. I get that expecting him to be this all round player is crazy, as virtually no player at this level is. But I...
