Re: What's Ste Evan's Age? 61, I think. Stevenage away. 29/03/2024 - 3pm

However at least Dave the Minion (aka Ian Evatt) & Mar will be happy as in their opinion Evatt can't do anything wrong. The only way that I'm renewing my ST if we are still in League 1 next season is if the manager isn't Evatt. Seriously??? This is hilarious... In case you need it spelling out, I'm...

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

Evatt ‘we are process and performance driven not results driven.’ Yeah that’s the problem. Maybe they will award us the process and performance trophy at the end of the season. Does it come with an extra promotion place? Not a surprise to hear that from Evatt. However, he clearly does not understan...

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

I'd take the Exeter result to be fair, but won't get a sniff if we match the second half performance! I'm really nervous about this. So much so, that I have broken a 2 year gambling hiatus and put £15 on Derby, as a fall back option for the disappointment of defeat. Practical and Pragmatic - Not fo...

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

Even after Tuesday I’m not confident. Evatt is saying they are using the doubters to spur them on - so use the doubt lads, prove me wrong! I think the frustrating thing is on our day I think we are the better side. But our day hasn’t happened enough yet this season. IMHO and plenty will disagree bu...

Re: South to East (London, that is) Leyton Orient away Sat 20th Jan 3-0'clock..

What a shocking start. Look simultaneously tired and sh*t-scared. Centre midfield entirely bypassed both defensively and offensively. Continually losing possession on the edge of our box. Needs a change of shape in the centre to find an outlet from the back. Dion is looking to be having a total sti...

Some on here may criticise Santos but again the Wed commentators were full of praise for him in Central defence. What's the opposite of rose tinted specs ? Sceps Detnit Esor. Latin for a look beyond what you can see. "Sceps Detnit Esor" (Latin) = "I will stop eating" (English) "look beyond what you...

Update:
Surfshark VPN in use
Season pass purchased using PayPal
Live match Centre then stopped the streaming
Payment checked in my account and it said Failed
So, I can only assume that this VPN is also no good to stream live matches - Sorry !

Re: Crawl over the finish line (please!) sat 8/5 @3pm on the Sky box

I have posted several times on our performance being similar to "headless chickens...."

Re: The future is hidden from all men and great events hang on small chances: Exeter (H) Sat 1/5/21 @ 3pm

Just seen and read Evatt's reaction and guess what - Same old story "Not my fault", he goes on to blame everyone and everything without taking any of the responsibility 1. “On the pitch, there’s just too many below par" - For what reason? - you are the manager - you should know! 2. "Too many went in...

He should go I really want us to win next weekend, but he should still go :shock: We were relegated as a complete basket case. Most of us thought we'd get in the top half at best. Southend, who came down with us, are ample evidence of where we could have been. Absolutely gutted but let's keep some ...

Re: The future is hidden from all men and great events hang on small chances: Exeter (H) Sat 1/5/21 @ 3pm

Another example of Mr Evatt's mantra "Possession, Possession, Possession" - To keep possession, its okay to go backwards even if your are on the oppositions penalty area, why? Because Mr Evans says so! What exactly was the strategy? What were the tactics? All his substitutions made no difference wha...
