We've only just announced our retained/release list. I feel like Vokes has been so injury-prone in his last couple of seasons that he may yet hang up his boots, but nothing has been announced. Don't know why we're getting rid of Kieran Sadlier as he has been decent but it may be an injury...

Yeah, that’s on Dodds really, we’ve been playing him as a target man and expecting him to win aerial duels against monster centre backs - when that’s not really him. In the first half of the season, our wingers were pushing forwards a lot more and he had other players to play off, and we could...

I will be backing Charlton to win in the final, if only because: 1) Orient’s my local team, it’s great to have a ground I can get to in under 30 mins 2) can’t fking stand Nathan Jones, he clearly hasn’t done anything to me personally but he’s one of those types like a Martin Allen where you...

Fine margins overall, Charlton took their chance, we didn’t, end of story. Roll on next season.

Yep, shocking game so far, even worse than the first leg. Charlton’s attacking play has been better when they get it in the final third though.

Charlton-Orient final then. Commiserations Stockport.

Well we haven't been helped by Ipswich coming straight back down to the Championship. I think Humphries is possibly more a "good L1 level" than he is "gunning for promotion in the Championship" level player. That said, Ipswich have put out a piece on how well he's done on loan for us, and I...

None of us understands this either, trust me. One of two major mistakes we’ve made this season - #1 pissing off Bloomfield and forcing him out and #2, not so much even just Morley, but we broke our record transfer fee not once but twice on a couple of Danes who between them have featured for a...

Yup, we have an average attendance of 4000 home fans and really very little seems to change that. Add to that the fact that there has been a real downer of a mood over performances recently - we're really only in the playoffs because we had a very strong first half of the season, the second half...

I think it was more us that was doing the spoiling than Charlton, though both teams were guilty of it. In the recent 4-0 pasting they gave us, Lloyd Jones smashed into Kone early doors and they were very physical, so I think we set up to make sure we didn't get out-battled again and were...

Well, I'll take that. We won't win playing like that over two legs though. Under Bloomfield we were actually playing a lot more football, we just reverted to pure hoofball today which was not working at all from the attacking perspective. Kone is not a target man. Lots of head tennis...

Marginally the better side in the first half though neither side is creating clear cut opportunities. Both sides are kicking the shit out of one another and the ref is letting things go for both sides, Kone has already (deservedly) been booked, but Gillesphey has also kicked Kone on the floor...

Hoping AFCW do it, this league is already going to be way too Northern next season, not that I’m a hardcore away traveller by any means.

Yes, most people did when this place was down for a few days.

We've fucked all our big games since Dodds came in so I wouldn't worry about it. Our home game v Wrexham was a classic six pointer and we froze, obviously we got done 4-0 at home v Charlton, and we blew it away to Orient. Well I didn't want to be facing Lu'un next season either (although...

I'm pretty much binning off our chances. Charlton have done the double over us already this season, one game of which was an absolute smacking (4-0), and whilst I don't expect things to be that bad again, Mike Dodds has seemingly sapped all the attacking flair out of us. Whereas Charlton have...

I think Posh had a long run of their best players being injured when they couldn’t buy a win, and were actually flirting with dropping into the relegation zone at one point.

Can’t come as too much of a surprise, but Calderon has been shitcanned by Brovers: https://www.bristolrovers.co.uk/news/footballing-operation-review-concluded

It’s obviously waaaaaaay too early to be doing predictions, but I think there’s plenty of strong contenders for the top half of the table. Bolton - need a big clearout, but have strong resources and now a decent manager Barnsley - jury is out big time on the appointment of Hourihane as head...
