Re: A whiff of Sulphur. Home to Harrogate Town, Sat Dec 2nd 3'O clock. F. A. Cup.

Thomason doesn't look like he needs a rest. Seems the sort who can play and play and play

I think Williams needs a good hour on Saturday, then 75 or so next Tuesday and see where he is for the following Monday - We do have the luxury of an extra 48hrs of rest after Port Vale compared to normal

Re: A whiff of Sulphur. Home to Harrogate Town, Sat Dec 2nd 3'O clock. F. A. Cup.

He'll be desperate for a decent 3rd round draw, so I reckon we'll go pretty strong here and potentially rotate on Tuesday Baxter JDC, Jones, Santos, Toal, Williams Thomason, Sheehan, Maghoma Bodvarsson, Charles Tuesday night Coleman Matheson, Jones, Toal, Iredale, Williams Morley, Dempsey, Thomason ...

Gonna be -3c by 3pm Saturday. So on Middlebrook, that will feel like -28c

Re: The Rest of League One 23/24

There's a video from a side angle. The striker stops in front of the keeper, who then initiates the contact before going down like a sack of shite. He jumps slightly forward into the striker. Prick

Re: The Rest of League One 23/24

Play acting. Glad they gave it. Hopefully it'll make them think twice about the way they sh*thouse their way through matches. Detestable team with absolutely no endearing qualities whatsoever. Being cheats is ingrained in their DNA as a club, so for that reason. F*ck em

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

First half, a little passive and whilst we weren't helped by a referee hell bent on disrupting the game whenever he could, we never really found any passing rhythm. We weren't the only team on the pitch though, so fair play to Oxford who broke well and had the better of the 1st half Second half, a d...

This is a big game! I'm starting to feel nervous.

Anything can happen in these games and some of it, not always controllable, but I think we can do it!!! COYM

Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

Well, well, well. Killer instinct and some great football played. They were dire. But we beautifully punished them for it. Everyone played their part and goals from all over the pitch is really encouraging and becoming a big part of our season. George Thomason. What an improvement. I liked him, but ...

Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

Cue angry people when JDB is on the bench again 2pm Saturday… hope he gets some decent game time but I certainly get the logic in starting Victor still. Agreed, but we could do a reverse of this and try for a couple of early goals with JonBod, then turn Vic loos to antagonise the defence. Doesn't q...

Any news on Dion? Went off injured on Monday after a slide tackle and I've not heard anything since. Hopefully no news is good news and expect he'd be back in training today

Presser usually Thursday morning, for Saturday game isn't it?

Re: Tonight's Football

The main issue will be logistics. Whilst we all think the world is awash with Trans people, the reality is very different. There is not enough demand to create teams / leagues / associations for Trans people and Trans athletes, which is why they're in limbo, so to speak. You could feasibly have a nu...

Re: Tonight's Football

It's a fierce fight for Women athletes that a lot of them can't discuss for fear of being 'cancelled' and I know that makes me sound like a gammon, but it does have truth to it. People have lost sponsorships for speaking out against Trans Athletes competing in their category. That female college swi...

Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

It's certainly a risk, but Maghoma could be key to us unlocking a deep lying defence. Especially at home. He'd be a big miss at Oxford though as the majority of our success could come during quick transitions... Maybe just one to keep an eye on, but I suspect it will definitely come into Evatt's thi...

Re: Tonight's Football

My daughter and another girl recently trialled with the 'Boys' team at their school. They both got into the team on merit, so they re-named it the Mixed team. To much disgust by some of the lads.

Re: Tonight's Football

Womens only leagues are womens only
Any other league is 'mixed' - ie; Woman, or Trans people can play in a 'mens' league. Mens / Boys football is now mixed for this exact reason, but the 6'2 bruiser wants to play against girls instead

Re: Beware of Grecians bearing gifts. Home v Exeter City, 25th Nov. 3-0'clock.

Let's make no bones about it, this is a game we should highlight with a W against it. If we're on it, we could blow them away and we need to make sure we're at it from minute 1. They're down in the dumps, but any side in this league can be dangerous if we don't treat it right. I'd start with the usu...

Re: Its not the Hatters that Matter but anther win on the spin. Bolton v Stockport EFL Cup away Tues 14th Nov 7:30pm

No match for the next 10 days is somewhat irritating, but given our notably thin squad may ultimately prove a blessing. Hopefully the international lads come back unscathed 🤞 I don't have anything to back this up, other than a feeling but aren't we pretty good coming off the back of an internationa...

Re: Its not the Hatters that Matter but anther win on the spin. Bolton v Stockport EFL Cup away Tues 14th Nov 7:30pm

That was actually an enjoyable game. Concerning that we were so ridiculously profligate in front of goal, but encouraging that we created so many chances so often.

Thomason was head and shoulders above everybody on the pitch. His progression recently has been startling.
