Re: South to East (London, that is) Leyton Orient away Sat 20th Jan 3-0'clock..

Reminder that, even if results stay as they are, if everyone wins all their games in hand we would still be two points clear at the summit.

So there's that.

Re: South to East (London, that is) Leyton Orient away Sat 20th Jan 3-0'clock..

Give up on promotion folks. Sorry, I know it's only January, and we're fourth with games in hand, but BWFC-I says we can't possibly go up after going a goal down to one of the form sides.

Might as well pack it in for the rest of the seasom, aye?

Re: South to East (London, that is) Leyton Orient away Sat 20th Jan 3-0'clock..

Losing this is not an option if we want to win automatic promotion. The performance is abysmal. Also Ashworth cannot be anywhere near a team that wants to win promotion. Nowhere near good enough. And we can’t be babysitting him with our ambitions. Get rid and get a proper wing back in. There is no ...

Re: F.A.Cup...Re-play V Luton at Home. Tues 16th Jan 19-45

If we carry on playing like that, promotion won't be a problem. And we'll have absolutely nothing to fear in the Championship next season either. There were moments in rhe first half where Ross Barkley couldn't move without Thomason mugging him of the ball. Whisper it quietly, you don't want to dist...

Re: F.A.Cup...Re-play V Luton at Home. Tues 16th Jan 19-45

Almost best-case scenario, really. Played a very good, even game vs Prem opposition, narrowly knocked out but with enough chances to say we could have deserved better. But no more fixture congestion (at least with the FA Cup). Sheehan was incredible. As was Thomason, who must have added about £20m t...

Re: F.A.Cup...Re-play V Luton at Home. Tues 16th Jan 19-45

I don’t think that’s desirable. The league is what matters. It is what determines our future. Cups are an irrelevance right now. Bollocks to that. Winning things is never irrelevant in professional football. It's the whole point. It's why you go into the game, aside from the fact it looks after you...

Re: Seconds out, Round three. V Accringston away Wed, 10th Jan 7-30

I'd quite like to be the first team to successfully defend this trophy. It'd go nicely alongside our "biggest winning margin" record from last year.

Re: F.A.Cup...V Luton away Sun, 7th Jan 2-0'clock.

Interested in what the clubs rationale for pricing is here. There are a few possibilities…. 1) Worried that £10 tickets wouldn’t cover costs re policing etc… 2) Don’t believe £10 tickets would have sufficiently boosted attendance to compensate for lower turnover 3) Feel £10 for a cup game against p...

Re: Choose the matchday music

I went for 633 Squadron. Noticable from the centre circle that, if we finish with Thunderstruck before the teams emerge and 633 starts up, there's an audible frisson of (seems to me to be) excitement that ripples round the stadium.

Like to keep Thunderstruck on the playlist though. I like that one.

Re: Murder on the Orient Express. Home to Leyton O, Sat 23rd Dec, 15:00

No. The luck is that the original header a yard either side of Jerome and it’s a goal. We had no control over that and it was lucky it was straight at him. "We need bodies on the line defending!" "NOT LIKE THAT!" Just stop it :lol: The context is we were 3-0 up at home to Leyton bloody Orient and o...

In the end it was just luck. Not some massively determined effort the dividing line on the day was just a bit of luck. This is where this line of bollocks gets frustrating, Insane. You so often demanded we see lads throwing their bodies on the line and putting in tackles, as a sign of their charact...

We are only dominant because of football finance.

Are we not allowed to discuss upgrading players and areas of relative weakness in the transfer thread? :conf: Sure, but for people to suggest binning off a player who was widely regarded as one of the league's best prospects last season because he's had a couple of bad games is bizarre, reactionary...

Switched our wingbacks
Then switched 'em back.

Echo that Bod is playing well. Ball just sticks to him so much better than with Vic. Neither centre mid having stellar games right now though

Re: Who opened the door? My money is on Janus! 2024 January transfer thread.

Gutted for Dan, just as he was starting to come into his own. Got to be at least one striker signing next month then - Dion, Vic and Bod are the only ones we've got who most would trust to pose any sort of danger. All respect to Cameron, but he's a distant emergency option at best. As Ghost says (an...
