Re: The cup that cheers.. E.F.L Away to Wrexham Tues Feb 11th 7-30.

This game is more important than the competition it happens to be in. Most people live their lives based on the narrative they build in their heads. Players are no different. If we win, or at least pay well, then it's part of a positive story in which we've won 4 of our last 5 and shown resilience. ...

Free hit. We'll end up winning as it'll add another unwanted game to the schedule....
This team needs to win football games. If it means extra games, fine. It means Schumacher can keep every player involved and have everyone buying in until the end of the season.

I was out and about today and am gutted to have missed it.

As a technical Luddite, is there any way I can watch the whole game back? I don’t feel like the 2 minute sky sport highlight reel is going to cut it this time.
Full 90 is on Wanderers TV now.

Re: Creeping Northwards. At home to Crawley Town, Sat 8th FEB 3-0'clock.

I agree. But, we've all got a bit giddy over beating second from bottom with a goal in the 100th minute against 10 men. Yeah, but you've got to let yourself just enjoy these moments. We've not actually played well, as a complete performance, since Evatt left (and obviously hadn't for a while under ...

Can't say I'm even sure what system we intend to play on Tuesday, so it'll all be interesting.

Re: Creeping Northwards. At home to Crawley Town, Sat 8th FEB 3-0'clock.

Tuesday is a put the kids in night. It really is. Certainly take no risks night at least. Can’t risk Tutu for me, needs protecting. In some cases, perhaps. Lolos needs the minutes. So does Matete. Thommo should play, because he's banned for Shrews. Would probably give Murphy another outing. Jones n...

Heard the interview - can’t see Collins playing Tuesday but with luck will be fine for Saturday.
Not worth the risk on Tuesday.

Makes life difficult, though.

Etete's out, Collins has a knock and Tutu just played over 100 minutes. I wonder where Carlos is up to. We could use him.

Schumacher saying he expects Kion to be out for a bit, but will wait for a scan. Collins hopefully not serious as his hip knock has settled down today, but again not sure.

Re: Creeping Northwards. At home to Crawley Town, Sat 8th FEB 3-0'clock.

Well, yes, I am, then. Some not-right lobbed a half-eaten pie at the keeper. Stewards happened to be walking past, I'd clocked who threw it and did what I've been told to do as a club rep, and reported it. Then received some very personal insults and threats for my troubles. Which I also reported. ...

+12 minutes injury time in the Brum vs Toon game too. Must be the phase of the moon.

I dunno, am I? There were incidents today that I was peripherally involved with. What's reached your ears? Some on social media are ranting about a "grass" in some kind of incident and I've had to have a word with one lad in a Whatsapp group. "Flag waving" and "Speed top" were the only descriptions...

I can confirm that after a quick treatment from yours truly, Lofty was fine to play out the 2nd half.

Etete was named on the bench.
But not on it. Pulled up in the warm up and was replaced by Sharples.

Feet back on the ground for a second...Etete and Collins both missed out through injury. We're in bother if they are out for an extended period.

Thanks for the seat on the couch, Blu.

What a game to miss.

Sometimes football offers up justice. Utterly disgusting from Crawley and delighted to came back.

Re: Creeping Northwards. At home to Crawley Town, Sat 8th FEB 3-0'clock.

You can have a formation that could be anything, with a one system squad who can't play it! Not sure they're the same thing. Do we think Schon and Tutu can't play as wingers effectively at this level? Do we think Cogley and Murphy can't play as fullbacks? I think you're generally right, but I don't...

That formation could be anything. Literally anything.
But we have a squad that can only play one system.
