Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Can we get a good luck coach as well do you think?

I know there's a strong argument for making your own luck and all that, and we can be very profligate in front of goal, but it also seems like we never get the benefit of the random bounce or deflection and ost 50:50s end up going against us!!!

In a weirdly double negative way, I hope we get the chance to find out that he isn't a championship striker (if you know what I mean ..)

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Yup. That's where I'm at. Just wanted to get in there with some positive praise for.him before the usual.diafribe of shit comes his way. Also noticeable how close he seems with the rest of the team - not unlike our 37 year old, seems a good egg to have around the team. I'd love him to be a 20 goal a...

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Lets face it, we're play off bound. I struggle to see a reality where: - Derby lose to Carlisle at home - Bolton beat Peterborough away - Overturn a 4 goal deficit Might be better to do the Barnsley Semi and meet Lincoln in the final given the form of the teams. Don t see the problem there. It'll b...

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

Every credit to big Dan - looked good when he came on I don’t know what you were watching but I admire the optimism. Well, I watched a big strong forward come on after a long injury lay off and scrap for every ball and hold it up well. I know you don't like him, but I thought he looked decent...

Just got over the line.....
It's the first one that matters, plus 20 of them shots weren't on target. We've had 71 shots over 3 games and scored 5. To be fair, that's a piss poor return as two games have been draws.

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.

and don't forget the input of the players themselves. If the medical team don't say "no" then I think the vast majority of players will want to play through the injury (even our "bottlers" who aren't good enough....), so given a choice will push for a starting place. Depsite what some say about him,...

Jerome has been excellent these last few weeks. Has done 100% of the job asked of him, and seems to be the consumate professional.

Well I for one - as the eternal optimist - reckon we're going up in 2nd.

derby are going to lose and draw one, we're going to win both our games.

I reckon 3-0 tonight. Early goal to steady the nerves (Collins),game out of sight by half time (JDB). Charles on 2nd half and scores. Bring on Saturday....

Re: The Nostradamus file....

Think thats the key with Dan - before he got injured he was starting to come into some form and the fans were supporting him rather than berating him, and he was getting better and better. He'll get that back I'm sure, but might take a bit of patience to get him back up to speed. Can see him offerin...

Who had 0-0? Is that their Dion Charles vs Pompey. Them misses in the 1st half were awful.

Aye. Look at Carlisle last night: dead and buried in the league, but pulled off a 1-0 win against Cheltenham - players playing for their positions/contracts next season. I have a good feeling in my ageing bones about this week. We're due a bit of good fortune, so I can see a dour 0-0 tonight and an ...

Re: Pirates but not from Penzance. Away to Bristol Sat 6th Apr. 3-0'clock

Thought that was a great 3 points. Nervy at times, and lack of quality at others, but never felt the result was in doubt. I think Coleman has been a superb stand-in, but Baxter back with a bang. Absolutely love Jerome - such a professional and never lets us down. His minutes for us are limited, but ...
