Same old, same old for me. When we move the ball quickly, we create space and look good going forward. Sadly, we only seem to do that for the odd ten minutes in each half, usually when we've fallen behind. I thought Baptiste and Santos were fantastic, as was Thomasson, who's looking like a real find...

The writing is on the wall after today. It's all heading for us playing Tranmere in the play off final.

Can a goalkeeper ever be a marquee signing??!!

Bijou Bob

Blimey, that was a pleasant Saturday afternoon for a change. My worry is that he’ll now make six changes on Tuesday. We looked robust at the back and I can’t remember them walking through our central midfield at all yesterday, something every single other team has done unchallenged most games so far...

Sarc has been generally poor as far as I'm concerned. He looks unfit and overweight, largely struggling to have an impact lasting more than ten minutes in either half. The larger problem for me is that I just can't see what we're trying to do or be. The first few games it looked like we were playing...

Bijou Bob

Blimey. It’s almost like Boris and his cabinet don’t have a clue. Can’t be so, he’s the next Churchill isn’t he??

He’s reputedly on 18 grand a week. If Forest pay him a chunk, he needs a new start somewhere and clubs have not exactly been lining up to take him during the past several loan windows, so I’m not sure. Clough can play wide or as a ten, so would offer options if he can stay fit. He’s exactly the sort...

Bijou Bob

Listening to the LoV podcast the other week, it seems Clough is being made to train with Forest’s under 23’s. He’s on mahoosive money, but Forest want rid quickly, so might pay him off and free him up. The question isn’t would he make a decent number ten in L2, but can he stay fit for a full season ...

Baptiste lives just round the corner from me and he looks in good shape. He's out running most days whilst I'm walking the dogs. He'd be an experienced head at the back, but I can't forget the five penalties he gave away in his last season with us. Plus, his Mrs had a brand new Evoque delivered the ...

The club have a choice to make next month; sack the management team then, or wait until we’re 12 games into next season, lower mid table and struggling. Watching the League matches on Saturday evenings, it seems that the standard of football in L 2 is way above what it used to be. If we’re not organ...

Still no decision, the EFL once again showing that they can Vicky Pollard look decisive.

Haven’t been on here for a while now, it’s been much more interesting on mumsnet 😁 Met lots of folk from here over the years, since moving over from Bolton Banter, most of whom it’s been a pleasure to talk to. Some great European away days in Marseille and Guimaraes with folk from here - that Vaz Te...

Bijou Bob

Nolan for me. He's got nothing to lose and neither have we. I do think we've got to accept relegation as more than just a probability and give a manager time to build a squad and a style over at least 18 months. If we're not top six in L2 by February 2021, then and only then would it be fair to agit...

Bijou Bob

The real issue here is precedent I fear. The other players who have put forward an argument to have their contracts terminated, will surely not be told that their situation is different. That could leave us with no senior players by the end of the week. I don't blame any of them for one minute. We a...

Bijou Bob

Is anyone able to shine any light on the reasons why the administrators have been able to hold onto player registrations, despite refusing to pay the players concerned? Shirley that's a restriction of trade and goes directly against the Bosman ruling from years ago? It's looking that by close of pla...

Having no clue about company financials, am I a million miles off here, in suspecting that the reason the hotel deal is holding things up, is an intention by the eventual owners to mortgage the hotel and any assets in order to provide both running capital and a hefty early personal return (AKA doing...

Apparently, Saturday's paggering took us to 15 wins from 72 matches. I'm not sure it's possible to match even that at the moment, but with 20 games left, one win in 5 and a couple of draws thrown in, doesn't get us to 40 points. We're doomed unless something changes. Only 2 things can change in the ...

Bijou Bob

I think there are two possibilities Tango. Either the club feel hes never going to be fit enough, or, he has something written into his contract paying him a loyalty bonus if he is still with the club come New Year. I suspect next week will bring a fire sale the like of which we have never seen befo...

Bijou Bob

Michael Chopra and David James both earned huge money for years. It didn't take them long to crash and burn. Given that the average footballer isn't the brightest bulb in the box, I can imagine there's one or two (If not more) of our squad starting to panic just a little bit. If the wages aren't pai...

Bijou Bob

A manager who still doesn't know what his best 11 is and can't motivate the 11 he does pick, a Chairman who seemingly lies to the fans (Claiming to have proof of funds in place from the bidding parties in October, then claims in November that he has seen no such thing) and fails to pay wages on time...
