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

We're oddly nervous in this game. Plenty of passing around with the defenders rather than getting the ball forward and go from there.


JDC getting knocked over, no foul. Fkin double standards from this linesman / ref.

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

Not even touching them and they're on the floor. Jog on. Was thinking the same thing. Looks like the ref's giving them every one of them too. Not even touching them and they're on the floor. Jog on. Size of their defender and he flops over at a touch in the back. Why do refs still buy it Linesman f...

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

Bit harsh on Coleman that is. I would have started with Baxter on the bench but then again I'm not the manager. Anyway, time for a COYWM! He'll not be subbing the goalkeeper during the match so it's hardly surprising Baxter's starting. As good as Coleman has been, it's only right that Baxter gets b...

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

Baxter's back, no sign of Charles however. Given the form of our strikers it's hardly surprising he's missing and faith being shown in favour of Charles' recovery.

We should be fixing our away record for this and catching back up to put pressure on Derby for the final run in.

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

I agree not much between them, however Coleman is capable of the odd rash moment where he comes charging out with no possibility of getting the ball. I'd say that was accurate a few weeks ago, but i've not seen evidence of it lately. Almost like he's become aware of it and made steps not to do it. ...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....

Coleman knew what he signed up for, and that was to play second fiddle behind Baxter. He wouldn't have been expecting to have figured in as many games as he has. It genuinely seems like he's (Coleman) progressed in the last four matches. So much so that I can only think of one example where he's had...

Re: Not between the lines...V Reading at home Monday Apr 1st 3-0;clock

Is Collins the real deal? I must admit, I was completely oblivious to him before he signed. But, he seems to have settled and is now knocking 'em in. He’s still a real mix. Clearly has talent, to score and assist; and yet frequently during a game will shank a pass, make the wrong choice or similar ...

What was the score today, mate? You must have been gutted. Just to remind you then, we won 5-2 and I was pleased with the result. Your rose tinted glasses probably thought we were brilliant and now expect us to win all our remaining games. Before you get too carried away, the team we played today p...

Little bit crazy to think that it could go down to the final game of the season where we could once again get promoted against Peterborough.

Naw, to be fair he said couple of posts earlier that "I really do want us to win" - and I'm sure he does. We all do, we just squabble over how best to do it. Thing is, the mood on here after disappointing results has become so toxic that I for one can't be arsed. Others are very much keen to be ars...

Re: Not between the lines...V Reading at home Monday Apr 1st 3-0;clock

Not to be prematurely positive (because I know that won’t do in these parts) but if Portsmouth do beat Derby, then of course their goal difference reduces accordingly. Aaaaand we’d be back to a game in hand. That could easily cause quite a swing in the GD column in a short amount of time I sense a ...

Not looking good for us gaining on the chasing pack with Reading being as poor as they were today. Still our 5-2 win is better than Derby's 2-1. Comes back to th...

Lovely work yet again from Thomason and Dempsey. Should be 5 or 6 here. Aye, we're still 4 goals behind Derby Add another goal to the against column. Sloppy defending again. We've had loads of unnecessary goals conceded. and add another to the for column. JDB, after decent work from Ashworth. Crazy...

Re: Not between the lines...V Reading at home Monday Apr 1st 3-0;clock

If we don't see Ramsey today, I'm not sure we will. Can't say i'm too fussed. I've heard Liverpool fans saying he's decent, but there's nothing i've seen that makes me think he's anywhere near good enough. I'd be keen on giving him another chance of course, but i'm sure Evatt would've seen enough o...

Lovely hat trick for Collins. Some great finishes in there.
We're quick, expansive and actively looking for the goal.

Great stuff.

Awful decision there referee.
Yellow card worth tackle completely left to go unpunished due to Collins putting a player off balance.

Fair enough give the free kick against Collins, but don't miss the hacking down of the Bolton player in the process.
