Re: No Pirates up the Irwell. Home to Bristol Rovers, Sat 16th Dec, 3-0'clock

Football fans eh? People have been banging on about how good Toal is and what a find he was, and now a couple of losses and its all his fault & he's a liability.... Santos is widely regarded as one of - if not the - best defenders in the league, and now a couple of losses and he's a liability.... Oh...

Re: Going for the full Nelson? Away to Portsmouth Mon, 11th Dec, 8-o'clock.

On the end of a closely fought defeat against the best team in the league. Had to lose at some point. I'm not too disheartened. It happens. What we don't need as the players who been in great form for so long suddenly being thought of as sh*t, soft, lazy, etc etc on the back of last night. Pompey p...

Re: Going for the full Nelson? Away to Portsmouth Mon, 11th Dec, 8-o'clock.

Poor result but Evatt tactically was out thought. Top of the table side and ultimately probably revolves around the miss. But have to move on now and win Saturday. Big game. And I’d say that it does show where weaknesses are. Santos was absolutely abysmal tonight closely followed by Toal and Sheeha...

Re: Going for the full Nelson? Away to Portsmouth Mon, 11th Dec, 8-o'clock.

Sadly (or gladly?) I missed the game as was out, and as disappointing the result is now I've seen it, I must admit to having a bit of a chuckle reading some of the reactions from the usual suspects!!!

We've lost 1 out of the last 10. 2 of the last 15. Just saying, that's all.....

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

Such a shame for Dan - was starting to show us what Evatt must have seen in him to sign him, and was also starting to win round the doubting fans.

Hope he recovers as quickly as he can and comes back stronger.

Re: Whatever floats your boat.. V Oxford United, Tuesday 28th Nov.7-45.

If it's Randell on the bench I'd say Jerome should be the most likely to give way. Which would presumably make the subs Bod, Dan, CMG, Dempsey, Morley, Williams, Forrester – although given the game importance (and Iredale's presence as spare centre-back) Coleman might replace Forrester on the bench...

I also agree with everything said here - some of the best football I've seen since the halcyon days of Okocha & Youri et al. Didn't stop the 2 idiots behind me whingeing through the first half hour mind: "this is such sh1t football / we are so bad / don't deserve to be near the top of the league / n...

Good half that. A bit slow, but steady and always in control.
Some lovely play for the goals too.

So much time and space at the back - Exeter offering no press at all. Think Toal has had more of the ball in that 45 mins than in the rest of his career in total!!!

Re: Where no seagulls fly...Home to Blackpool Sat 11th Nov, 1500 hrs.

Superb performance and result today. I had a bad feeling about it going into the game - sadly with every win, the likelihood of slipping up next match increases, and with the massive crowd I felt this would be when we did slip up. Blackpool are a quality team but overall I think we just about shaded...

Appart from the one spring that I stupidly broke mid 1st half was the couch comfortable for everyone? Certainly was DJB, top man. Just 3 points behind 1st and level on points with 2nd who’ve just lost their manager, things aren’t looking too bad. Really odd to think just a few weeks ago internet se...

The test is Saturday. Big expectant home crowd. Local derby. Played a tough game midweek.

All the warning signs there but it’s a crucial game. Have to prove we can do it in these games.
Come on, just enjoy tonight's result (& the last 3.....)

Re: An Athletic sprint down the Valley: V Charlton away 28th Oct. 3-0'clock.

Would've been nice to have gone 2nd in the league, but Oxford's late equaliser put pay to that one. Yeah, but please don't forget: according to some (who incidentally go very quiet when we do well ...) we"re a weak, leaderless, bunch of shirkers who can't be arsed and are nowhere near threatening t...
