Thought the referee was pretty decent tonight. There were a couple of marginal penalty calls for both sides but neither were stonewall. He let the game flow, didn't keep blowing up for physical comings together and didn't waft yellow cards around like confetti. Thought he was fair to both...

I must confess, I've seen him 3 or 4 times now and he's been pretty dreadful. However, he clearly is able to stick the ball in the net.

It was a game lacking in quality in the forward areas. Notts had most of the play first half but didn't make it pay. As good as they kept the ball first half, they were very poor with possession in the 2nd half. We turned the ball over countless times, to the point where they very rarely got...

Absolutely awful half. Treating Notts like Man City at the Etihad. We can't keep the ball and our output from wingback looks incredibly poor as expected. I know Moore likes to be cautious first half, but that was ridiculous. The only thing you can say is that Notts have had control of the...

I did consider that but we didn't play in a fancy way. We played simple by getting it out to the wings and aiming for Pope in the middle. No frills.

I'd take all injury talk with a pinch of salt. I think sometimes it's to keep the opposition guessing. I expect Jones and McGoldrick to play.

I agree and we have been in games this season where we've fallen just the wrong side of marginal games. However, for this league it's more about getting out of it. You don't get any points for style. So, keeping it tight and winning by the odd goal every week is a sound way to go, particularly...

Yeah, we've certainly not been glamorous. Not very high scoring and a lot of attritional games. We've started to create a bit more with 2 up front, but Moore's default is safety first. It's not a criticism of Bradford. I just think they have a functional rather than spectacular side. It's...

This. Thanks.

Headley potentially injured which isn't great. Our form has improved since the team has looked more balanced with him at lwb.

We don't and it annoys me. If other teams are gaining competitive advantage from it then we've got to join in. Reckon it's worth a few points in a season. I'm not sure whether Moore particularly likes it, he seems an honest guy who very rarely grumbles about decisions. Crosby didn't engage...

I was just reiterating because somebody keeps slyly dropping it into posts. As though we truly believe it.

Yeah, both incidents are never red cards in a million years but unless you've got Premier League levels of revenue, the FA don't give a shit. They'll just accept some convoluted argument from the referee as to why it was a red. They'll probably not even watch the incident. In my opinion...

Morecambe have got to play us at our place too. We could have quite a big say, as we play a few of the lower teams. We've also got Harrogate at home, who could conceivably still be in it.

Expected win from Wimbledon considering Crewe's current form/injuries. I did suggest earlier in the season that they might tail away due to lack of squad depth. Terrible refereeing decision didn't help them. Said all along though that I saw enough in our game against Wimbledon at Vale Park to...

Pretty much copy and paste against us. Awful side who didn't really offer anything, even when we had 10 men. Loved going down at any contact. It's got to be an instruction from management. Poor way of playing football really.

Yeah, when you've had several match altering decisions against you, come back to us.

Looking on both forums, there's a mixed bag of very confident vs not very confident. It's one of those games where anything can happen. It all depends on who clicks on the night. We could win comfortably or lose 4-0. Looks like Stockley has trained today, so providing there is no reaction...

Agreed. We didn't spend nearly enough. Barely survived the first season and down in the second. It's not that the standard is ridiculously high, it's simply that the teams with a few more quid have players that can ruthlessly punish you. If we come back up, I anticipate we'll be spending a...

I agree with you. I don't think we're quite as efficient as some of the teams around us. Defence feels leaky at times too.
