Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

Thanks DJb, as ever. Decent game spoiled by inefficient officials. Derby miss on 7 mins was a shocker , but Derby are deadly on the break. Not much in it right now. A goal either way could cause an uproar; let's hope it's a Wycombe one. Dry mouth time. All about the result. :|

The word "easy" shouldn't even be in our vocabulary. Hard is the only way forth. Carlisle can play like Brazil with nothing to lose. Beating Bolton is a big feather in caps. "Ride boldly ride, the Shade replied, "if you seek Eldorado"..

Re: The Nostradamus file....

Just a point that gives me the heebies is when our captain fantastic goes a-wandering too far up the pitch. No use denying that he hasn't lost the ball a few times, or that he isn't exactly Usain Bolt at foot racing back against speedy strikers. He's a rock in defence, but rocks don't move like pebb...

Tuesday but no pancakes; nothing till Saturday and high noon time (well, 3-0'clock. ) then Pompey. Bit soon for a match thread but not to talk of generalities, or predict, ..so talk?

For every Yin there's a Yang; every opinion has value even if we don't agree. Come back Insaney, the club is the reason any of us are here and you undoubtedly love it.

On a separate note hope BWFCi is OK, I miss his posts.
I received a PM from him last week with a request to deactivate his account.

No reason given.

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

Three home games left and a tough away one to finish. We'll really need a different game plane against Portsmouth next week, because if we give them the space at the back we've been doing lately, they'll rip us apart. We didn't really cause much threat up front today, but some of that was because th...

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

Great 3 points - at this stage of the season its about results not performances. Baxter excellent. Probably a good job. I'm a positive man, but our football is less than appealing right now. Bristol's football was attractive at times although walloping it down the left seemed to be a game plan, but...

Re: Womens football

Bit disappointing result but Sweden were a good side. Lauren Hemp is by far our best player. Runs her socks off every game. Still baffled as to where Lucy Bronze is supposed to be playing. she's classed as a right back but is regularly caught out of position. We might easily have lost tonight.

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

Interesting to see what team Evatt puts out now that most have recovered from injury. I am feeling that injuries forced him to pick a settled side which is now starting to click as we approach the playoffs. Do we tinker with it. I am afraid too much tinkering will have a negative effect as it alway...

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

Ignoring the very obvious jokey "Pistols from Bristol" headline because it's deadly serious now, we have a lengthy trip down to Bristol come Saturday. Whatever sort of game it will be, a "friendly doesn't exactly describe it. There's too much at stake for us. Bristol are in 14th league spot, so litt...

Re: Race to the tape: 2024's League One promotion campaign

It'll be nice to play against sides who want to play football and win. Is rather do that than just fight dour draws against teams of cloggers. I reckon we're as good as most at pure football.
