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

A little historical note: barring friendlies, I think that's the first time Evatt has ever substituted Rico during play. He's been subbed at half-time before, but I don't think his number's even gone up before. Wondering something along those lines - felt really odd to see him coming off like that!...

Hard to argue with that, other than maybe Jones for JDC if he's still not 100%

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

Evatt on injuries “It has to be the volume of games. Everyone wants cup runs but this fixture schedule – Saturday, Tuesday, Saturday – it has really taken its toll. Ahem. Is all I can say! On the plus side: you think Vic is a "liability", so surely not having a liability fit and able to play for th...

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

But Evatts interview didn’t scream to me ‘we are confident and full of belief and it’s heads down to prove it’. Evatt could do his interview and scream ‘we are confident and full of belief and it’s heads down to prove it’ and our fans would pick that apart too. Full scale autopsy going on and that'...

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

When we are losing to Exeter and we throw people forward because there is nothing to lose. Yes it shows some fight to get back into the game. I agree. But broadly when it’s mattered for me we’ve not delivered. Whether that’s mentality or something else I don’t know. So we've got a team of mentally ...

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

I think I've said it before on here, but the atmosphere at home certainly isn't helped by the number of teams that turn up to spoil the game, cheat, play negatively and waste time. If opposition players start time-wasting from minute 1 (like Cambridge did) and conning the refs (who we know are not c...

Right now I’m struggling to work out what Sheehan is actually on the pitch for….
probably something to do with the fact he's a good player. A very good player.

But given he seems to be your current target in the team, don't let that fact get in the way of your aegumwnt

Re: Cam on, fear the noise: Cambridge (H) Sat 2 Mar 3pm

I think it’s a fair question to ask why Portsmouth are doing so much better in these games than us? I don’t believe they have better players. They’ve also been plagued with injuries. Equally as fair to ask why Derby & Barnsley et al are NOT doing so much better in these games than us. And they've n...

Re: Pied and Prejudice, Wigan (A) 27/02/04.

Derby got beat last night by a team in 19th - so they don't deserve promotion as they should be dispatching teams like if they are to go up? Barnsley got beat by the team in 15th a few weeks ago, so thats another one without the quality to go up. Portsmouth got thumped by Orient (I know it was a whi...
