Re: What are you eating and drinking tonight?

It was absolutely unreal. They're mad, mad, bastards. They've got a full time forager who goes out and finds some weird tree sap and then a full time "development chef" who dicks around to see what they can do with it. Also really sound and down to earth staff, happy and keen to explain everything t...

Re: General Chit Chat

They've dicked around with it loads before. Plenty of them haven't had it on at all.

I think to have a bit of a rant on the internet but it shouldn't be actual news.

The price on the other hand...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

We're missing so many fixes that Evatt has put in place, CMG, Charles, Baxter, Johnston, N'lundulu, etc. that we've probably got the solution, it just isn't available. The tactics that we're playing now aren't dissimilar to the ones we were using with Baka and Bod up top where we seemed to score la...

I'm glad we're performance and process driven. That's how you get results. Played well, didn't win. Annoying, but sometimes that's how it goes. He's the best manager we've had since Sam for me. Close with Parky, but true. I'm enjoying the ride. Process and performance is fine but there is more to w...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I haven't updated the top 6 v top 6 game in a few weeks but I suspect our draw at Barnsley keeps us second in that (albeit pending). Everyone feels that way.

Just arrived in Cartmel. Rogan & Co tonight and then L'Enclume tomorrow. Proper bucket list stuff, been wanting to go for about 15 years.

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Bogey teams are a nonsense and pure statistical noise

Anything head-to-head beyond 5 years (at a push) is meaningless.

Re: Ox on the box, c*cks on the blocks? Oxford (H) Tue 12 Mar, 8pm

Negatives: terrible poll, and Jerome not getting the goal his performances have deserved.

Positives: everything else, including seeing a usual suspect from on here at the pub.

Can't split Sheehan and the front two for motm.

Please please kick on from here!

Re: This Exe is on fire: Exeter (A) Sat 9 Mar, 3pm

We keep conceding too many cheap goals. And failing to take chances to kill games off, I'm really not sure the system is number one issue at all right now. The players have to do their jobs.

And we need Bax back.

Two really good saves from Coleman yesterday but still a fairly big net negative.

Re: This Exe is on fire: Exeter (A) Sat 9 Mar, 3pm

I posted this after Blackpool: He won't rip it up, and probably rightly so. We were good against Cambridge, and good going forwards with 11 against Blackpool. The issues yesterday were individual mistakes rather than the shape. I would personally like to see us go 343 though. CMG has been the bright...

Re: Raising the Bar: Barnsley (A), Tue 5 Mar 7.45pm

Hadn't clocked until now that our first goal game from Sheehan getting leathered and bouncing up, taking a quick few kick playing a quick pass through three of them. Thomo -> Collins -> Vic -> Goal.

Lovely to see.

Re: Raising the Bar: Barnsley (A), Tue 5 Mar 7.45pm

I agree, though think Vic is playing well enough we don't need to take any risks with Dion.

I'm always worried when someone is "back" then not again. Minor setbacks seem to mean we'll see you once and then RIP.

Yeah he was excellent second half. No surprise he's the one who finally found The Vic Run. Think he and Dion could be far too good for L1 defences.

Look at Thomo 30 seconds into this - dragging our celebrating players back to the centre because he wants to win the game . God I love that lad. https://twitter.com/OfficialBWFC/status/1765151803715338623 . And yes, I love this man. He's not perfect but I hope he keeps getting nearer. . https://twi...
