They've certainly played the Hitler's Generals card early. There's no point in explaining that the "American model for sport (NFL/NBA)" they want to follow has come from somewhere other than Americans. It's come from some Americans who've convinced some doddery old men they can save the world. I'm r...

So worth signing by a big club like us in the summer?

Hahaha I guess that’s how we used to feel. If it’s any consolation shrimps I only know our players from watching them all season! So let me educate you, young Billy Big Bollox. 40 odd appearances, 5 goals, 8 assists. Impressive tally. But didn't play at weekend (think his injury was game previous)....

Morecambe have lost someone for the season today as well. John O Sullivan whoever he is! This quote was taken from the Bolton Trotters Forum .... Says it all about Billy Big Bollox teams Morecambe have lost someone for the season today as well. John O Sullivan whoever he is! Well done, Dibs, your r...

I like Brockers I think more than most, but Jackson seemed competent and would be my first choice to replace John if he's out. Big call on Sarc. We look miles better with him, but do you risk throwing him straight back in?

Pfft, we can bring him off if we're winning 3-0...

I suspect that shithouse Derek Adams is already lining up the drills for leaving a knee or an elbow in on Gilks at set pieces. Percentage wise it would be worth them having a red card if it meant an outfield player yin net for us. Jensen on the bench is a must. Given how well protected goalkeepers ...

Yes for me too. He seems to have put a keeper on the bench for FGR and Cambridge? if memory isn't playing tricks, would be surprised if he didn't here too.

FGR & Newport, but not Cambridge.

Ta!

We must put a keeper on the bench on Saturday. It is such a pivotal game, imagine if Gilks went down injured in the first few minutes...or was sent off later in the game. You risk throwing the season away for very little gain. We can absolutely sacrifice and outfield player who won't come on anyway...

Just had a quick look at Morecambe's recent xG figures and they're... odd. They had lower xG than Grimsby but won 3-0; they've only had higher xG than oppo in two of the last four games and lost one of them; at Cambridge they had better xG but lost, and home to Cheltenham they had half the xG but w...

I'm veering from wild optimism to total panic and it's only Thursday! We can grind out positive results, of that there's no doubt, but I suspect it won't be enough here. 1-2 defeat. Come back and post again when you've veered over to "wild optimism" :-) :D 3-0 win. It's this seasons Fleetwood. Nice...

We will be up for this 2-1 Bolton.

Hope to God, you're right, Bertie!

If we can't get "up" for this one, it's a poor show.

It would be somewhat curious if people didn't have the notion that not winning might be a possibility. It's a huge game for both and the winner would be in prime position. We've played a few of these "six pointers" fairly recently, FGR, Cambridge and unbeaten at home, Salford. We were worth the thre...

Having a nice snuggly cuddle with youngest son (age 5) before bed and he turns round after telling me he loves me to ask me what I would do if my head was chopped off?! :shock: I don’t understand the male mind sometimes, young or old! :crazy: So? Don’t leave us all in suspense. What was your answer...

John’s not looked as good recently. Wonder if he was the defender carrying the injury.

Yup (not looked as good). He also looks better going forward than defensively to me...

I'm not sure it's not all a bit moot. There was just something about the way Kioso left due to injury crisis (including the fastest recovery ever from Long Covid by one of the injured players), then rocked up at Northampton about a week later. So not sure it'd be on the cards in any event. Not conv...
