Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I saw no reason as to why we can't overturn a 4pt deficit on Derby to be honest. They'll drop more points than we will in the run-in. There. I said it I'm sorry but our current form is poor 4 wins out of the last 12, what makes people think that all of a sudden we will win 7 out of 7 or even 6 out ...

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

Our protection over Charles is that we want him to contribute in the run-in. We don;t feel he;s ready to play with9out a risk of him breaking down again. N.I naturally don't give too much of a shit about that and they're looking 1 game at a time and he plays for them, does a job but feck* it for the...

Re: Not exactly a Derby. Away to The Rams, Sat 16th March 3-0'clock.

I'd take the Exeter result to be fair, but won't get a sniff if we match the second half performance!

I'm really nervous about this. So much so, that I have broken a 2 year gambling hiatus and put £15 on Derby, as a fall back option for the disappointment of defeat.

Just trying to create a siege mentality for the players. Other managers get lauded for it. Ours gets criticised

Just arrived in Cartmel. Rogan & Co tonight and then L'Enclume tomorrow. Proper bucket list stuff, been wanting to go for about 15 years.
How was it? Live up to the billing?

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

It’s not just about protecting him from injury it’s about the fact that there are certain games he plays and struggles in and that leaves the whole team struggling. We’ve seen it in the last few months . Stevenage won’t be like Oxford I shouldn’t have thought. From Sheehan? We see much less of it f...

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

Looks like Stevenage's Piergianni(?) will likely get a 3 match ban for a pretty shitty off the ball elbow into a P'boro players' face. Very typical of a Steve Evans player - Especially as they see that sort of 'physicality' as a leveller

Re: Ox on the box, c*cks on the blocks? Oxford (H) Tue 12 Mar, 8pm

Well that were lovely weren't it. That Collins goal was a real beauty. Wonderful, stylish football, movement, end product. The lot. Loved it. I was in awe of some of that football in the 2nd half. We hunted them and never let them have a sniff. Man of the Match: Probably Sheehan, but there were some...

Imagine if we switched shape and got beat. It would be cited as THE reason and the stick to beat him with, even though people are pandering for it

Re: Ox on the box, c*cks on the blocks? Oxford (H) Tue 12 Mar, 8pm

I do think Personnel is pointing at 4-3-3 but a lack of prep time will stop us doing it, presumably. Hypothetically, if we did, we'd have Thomason screening so the full backs can still offer that width, Sheehan probing and Maghoma the one highest up feeding the the wide men and/or the striker. It ac...

I can see a 0-0, repeat of the away game.
This is where I was heading, but I'm not sure I see a clean sheet.

Re: This Exe is on fire: Exeter (A) Sat 9 Mar, 3pm

^ I think this is incorrect - Nothing wrong with playing into Thomason. The issue was Thomason playing across the pressing defender. It should have gone back to Coleman to drop it behind the midfielders who jump after the first pass

They actually look a bit dejected, unmotivated and a bit feckin scared. And that's not becuase they're "soft" or have "weak mentality", it;s because they're feckin human beings who have put their bodies on the line allbastarding season and get us wankers as 'thanks'

But Evatts interview didn’t scream to me ‘we are confident and full of belief and it’s heads down to prove it’. Evatt could do his interview and scream ‘we are confident and full of belief and it’s heads down to prove it’ and our fans would pick that apart too. Full scale autopsy going on and that'...

I think, unless Jones is fatigued, he'll start. Not the time for experimenting and testing unknowns away from home. Better the devil you know this week I reckon
