Re: Season 23/24 Predictions
I'm just finding it a bit hard to see where Charles and co missing basic sitters is Evatt's fault. Must be me.. Of course its Evatt's fault, he's the manager, he signs the players & he picks the team - if our strikers continually miss easy chances / sitters then he's not brought in the right strike...

Re: The Nostradamus file....
I might have missed it, and apologies if I have, but has anyone come out and said that the whole financial workings of the club are predicated on being promoted in 2024, and if we don't do this then we are all doomed and half our squad need to be sold for half their value just to keep the lights on...

Re: The Nostradamus file....
We can make substitutions depending on the goings-on in the other match. We can remove and replace literally half out the outfield

Re: The Nostradamus file....
I gotta say (in a non-gammon way), that we'd be absolutely gutted if Derby lost and we didn't get what we needed after playing a weak side. If I were resting a few - and I'm not against resting some who might be tired/carrying niggles, I might want to keep them in close proximity to the bench, on t...

Re: The Nostradamus file....
Whatever decision Evatt makes will be the wrong one, unless we go up, by some miracle..
If we go weaker and Derby lose, he'll get panned
If we go full strength and Derby win, he'll get panned

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.
As a standalone game, earlier in the season, we'd have been very happy with that performance. Yes, we should have scored more. But we played well and we'll take those positives into the play offs. Collins is firing now and he looks capable of creating something whenever the ball is near him. He hit...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
Has that sort of feel aye. We have a better team than the other play off sides but it’s down to the players and manager to lift the mentality, raise the work rate, stop feeling sorry for themselves and realise that anything you win in football is hard. No side will roll over. There is far too much ...

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.
If we get the first goal, fairly early, they HAVE to play higher up the pitch and we could get a good few more. Play the game like we need to. Strong, fast and into em

Re: Breaking pots... Home v Port Vale Sat 20th Apr. 3-0'Clock.
We're three points behind with 2 to play. I'd be delighted if we won both and Derby didn't! Whilst I think that's unlikely, it would be stupid and defeatist to put a half assed team out tomorrow, only to find Derby slip up. As others have said, we got automatics, coming up from the 4th Div on the l...

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
The more touches and passes we take in and around their box the less likely we are to score. The more quickly we shoot or get delivery into the box the more likely we are to score. I think statistically the opposite is true. The teams who sling the ball in from wide areas score less goals, than the...

Re: Dem Bones, Dem Bones, Dem Bare Bones....
Been an ok player for us and had some moments, but been totally underwhelming since coming back from his injury. EFL Trophy reserve games aside. I can't see us offering him an extension.

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
I've been so confident that things will go our way. Didn;t see that coming last night a joke of a game. The referees are not just complicit in football being ruined, they actively encourage it. Ref telling the keeper to go to the other side of the area, then giving him the thumbs up. Deliberately tu...

I think we'll have to be patient, but we should have enough impetus and will to win the game. Just don't go behind!!

Re: Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
It was certainly warranting of a second yellow that piss-take. Refs aren't bothered though. They're often not quite fit enough for the rigors of the modern game and as a result, are very happy for it to be slowed down

Re: Twixt Cups and Lips. Home to Shrewbury Town, Tuesday Apr 16th 7-45.
Whilst we should win tomorrow, I don’t think it’s a foregone conclusion. I’d be slightly concerned about a mental hangover from the weekend given we likely cost ourselves the chance of the automatics. Anyway, I’d be tempted to make a few personnel changes to avoid overworking some key players ahead...
