Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

To be fair gents, we probably/might have no choice here.

Its all well and good to be unenthused, but - through no fault of our own - we are desperate and not in a strong position.

Its very easy to criticise, but i haven't seen many alternatives put forward....

Re: The Forest Green Green Grass of Home? FGR, (H) 24/01/23 7.45pm

On the match - we were fantastic. I'm not overstating that, we were absolutely fecking magnificent. I am livid with Kachunga, but the idea he was a passenger is just people seeing through the lens of their dislike for him. You do not perform as a team like that if everyone on the pitch isn't doing ...

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

On the finances, it's not just about numbers of players. This is wild speculation but you'd think Dapo and Baka would both in the second quarter of earners (I think having both last signed contracts the summer we came up, as forwards). So I'm guessing in the top earners then overtaken over time. ) ...

I'm assuming the potential signing Iles is referring to isn't the rumoured Borges as he described it as a new name.

I'm not sure who else it could be though, unfortunately.
Can't be. His Wikipedia page has had Bolton (loan) removed from it now.....

Re: No Shoot Sherlock..Home to Portsmouth 14th Jan. 3-o'clock.

Superb performance that, to a man. Shame to see DadBod limp off as the way he presses and harries is brilliant, but pleasing to see Dan replace him and continue in similar fashion. Back 3 immense once again. Toal is turning out to be a hell of a find. Morley all over the place once again - not seen ...

Re: There's a Tavern in the Town - Arthur Scargill is a clown... Barnsley (H) 15/10/22

We dominated the game against an ex-Championship team who came to play for a draw.

Next 4 games are against teams 17th and below. Lets judge where we are after those...

Re: Handball ref? V Cheltenham away, 4th Oct, 7.45.

Utter shite. Promotion - not a chance. Woah there! Slight overreaction me thinks... Reality check please. We're still 6th, and win our game in hand we go joint 3rd. We're 3rd in the last 5 form table with 4 wins and a loss. 12 points out of 15. We're tracking just below the 2 points per game target...

I couldn't give a monkey's where he says he thinks we should finish when judging success this season. Even leaving aside that he's a gobshite generally (*our* gobshite, mind) he's all into the management pseudo-bollocks on setting high standards and pressure being a privilege and all that.

Re: Deal or no deal? - Summer 2022 Transfer gossip!

Out of interest - why does it need to be a serious push for promotion? We've only had 1 season back in League 1 and not sure we have any god-given right to be competing at the top do we? Don't get me wrong - I think we've made massive strides in terms of infrastructure, stability & squad quality and...

Served their keeper right that did - he was playing so high - Neuer-esque - all game for no reason whatsoever!!

FFS. Give it a rest will you. OK, so an ex-player that none of us has any interest in anymore has set up a company and called it the same as some city somewhere else in the world.
