Our home performances are diabolical and have been all season. It’s really weird cos away we’ve consistently been pretty good, would be no surprise to anyone if we went to Fleetwood next week and won 3-1 or something, dominating the game. But we just can’t seem to do it at home. I did think...

One of the most error strewn football games ever played. We take it… I guess?

The actual debt is more like half of that - that’s the accumulated losses over the years but a load of it was written off through the various takeovers and dates back to the 2010 debacle. Still not a pretty number, but the losses are coming down year on year so they’re making solid progress in...

I think you got that because we agreed a reciprocal allocation with you. I suspect Doncaster will get the 3,000 we took there when we play them on the final day, and Vale got another 300 odd because of a similar deal. Seems pretty clear that the allocation at Notts these days is 1,900 unless...

I think Edwards looks like he’s got something to offer as a squad player, but not in that attacking position that Maynard is using him. He’d be far more comfortable playing deeper.

Maynard pretty much straight up said today that all of our subs are just based on how many minutes the boffins think people can play rather than what we actually need to do in the game. These stethoscope nerds had better get everyone fit for an eight game winning run to end the season.

You played us before we’d even signed Abbott last time and he’s arguably been our player of the season. We’ve sold Crowley for this one as well, stop complaining. ;)

Two or three weeks for the main two. Hopefully in time for our Wimbledon/Grimsby double header. Whitaker returned as a sub on Tuesday, apparently he’s just ‘tired’ as he’s a child who’s never played football before. I think we should depose the sport scientists, everyone keeps getting injured...

We’re still without Jones and McGoldrick for Saturday. Really hoping Whitaker is fit to start, we can’t be having Grant and Edwards as our two tens again. I think both are decent players but they do their best work without the ball pressing the opposition, and at home teams for the most part...

They were loud as well - pound for pound probably the best following we’ve had since coming back up.

My one big positive is that Traore lad looks sharp as anything. Wants the ball and to actually turn and come forward with it, excited for when he’s ready for a start because him and Jatta could cause some right problems. Feel sorry for AJ at the minute, with that line up we’re putting out he’s...

Watching us at home this season makes me want to claw my eyes out with a spoon. We were a bit lucky that Colchester decided to go into timewasting and protecting a point mode with about 20 minutes left for no particular reason. Just force of habit, I guess. They looked a decent team before that.

Altrincham could make it, I think. Their crowds are okay at NL level and with a promotion would probably push a bit above the lowest in this division. They also have the location advantage with recruitment. Clubs near London and Manchester just have such a big pool of players to try and choose...

It’s to do with the concourse under it rather than the actual seats. The way that stand was (badly) designed in the 90s is basically that it’s two different stands. So beyond that certain number we have to open up and have stewards, catering, staff, power etc in the other half of the...

Pretty sure we get like 1,800 along the side at Crewe, perfectly decent allocation in League Two IMO. I get the frustration sometimes at places like Notts where it can be restricted despite it being one big empty stand, but Crewe have their own fans in the other three stands and give out an...

No one should be giving up two whole stands to away fans to be honest, and definitely not in a local derby or game that might be important for promotion.

Fan zone is pushing it, it’s a tiny bar in a little yard haha. Does the job though.

I know it’s a bit of a cliche with us, but just worked it out and the difference is ridiculous. Going at 2.2 PPG against the sides below that current top nine that has pulled clear a bit, and exactly 1 PPG against the rest of the teams in it. But our fixtures look okay. I can’t see us getting...

Apparently Jatta pulled the cotton bud out of Smith’s nose that was stopping him bleeding just before so he had to go off haha. The one where Jatta slaps him it looks very much like Smith tweaks his nipple or something to provoke it as well. Glad they were both having such a good time.

It’s weird because we haven’t actually been playing like that much recently (since selling Crowley, basically), but the first half was so easy to keep the ball that we just fell into it and didn’t seem able to react once you upped the tempo and started pressing. I still felt we were pretty...
