Re: Time Cheltenham men please....At HomeV,Cheltenham at the completely Bolton Stadium Sat 4th feb 3-0'clock.

Well, according to Evatt we can expect more housery from sides looking to strangle a point out of games.

The irony that Bradley now misses two games after being booked for timewasting when he was in fact simply throwing the ball to Toal is ridiculous.

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

Have to say that since Barnetto brought the boy Barkhuizen to the attention, I've been keepinga bit of an eye on the lad. Despite his very decent run of late I really don't have him down as being a Paul Warne player, however, I do have him down as being very much an Evatt type. I see that yesterday ...

We are still missing large swathes of the community, though.
This. Absolutely. 100%

The guy I sit next to teaches at a primary school with a predominantly Asian intake who, he says,feel somewhat ostracised when it comes to football.

How? Why? This is utterly ridiculous!

Re: League One, 2022/23

Right now I'm firmly in the 'massive mistake' camp in terms of us letting Sadlier and Aimson go, however, I will of course be delighted to be proved wrong. Controversial opinion time. If Aimson started yesterday we'd have lost that game 'Interesting' opinion, I'd say 😉 I see that Iles only gave Toa...

Re: League One, 2022/23

Really want to say that we'll finish stronger as we should have players returning from injury but I don't want to tempt fate. Under Evatt we always have a better second half to the season, but usually because our opening period has been so shit 😊 Right now I'm firmly in the 'massive mistake' camp i...

Over 17k in the crowd yesterday btw. Got to admire the support at times. I did wonder about that - it was nice to see the North Stand looking busy. Seems the club has an initiative running with local primary schools, making matches more easily affordable. All I can say to that is - about bloody tim...

I couldn't give a blessed feck as to how anyone other than us goes about anything.

We are truly clueless in the final third

We are truly clueless when it comes to taking a corner.

We are truly clueless at set pieces.

Good God. No wonder only 300 of them made the trip. Cheltenham have to be the most negative side I've seen since...... I honestly can't remember who/when. That aside, we were once again utterly appalling in the final third, and Morley's corner kicks were a pure embarrassment. He should be ashamed of...

Re: January 2023 Transfer Window

Only just read the Trafford to be City's No.2 keeper next season thing. A reserve keeper has to be ready to step in even from the warm up - is he ready for that at that level? I'd suggest not. In fact, I'm not so sure that Trafford's even reached the level of where Gavin Bazunu was this time last ye...

I'm rather surprised as to just how often we're taking Dempsey to the well, to be honest.

Still, he doesn't appear to be showing signs of letting up - just hope we're not tempting injury with him.

I'm only interested in the player City loaned us, who was abysmal.

Excellent. That fills me with hope.

Hope that despite being 56, around two stone overweight and having no experience, a career as a professional goalkeeper might still lie ahead of me! :)

Like Accy fans and Traf, then.

I mean of course, if they have rave reviews, no harm done.

Re: Will Lancashire triumph at Happy Valley? Charlton (A), Saturday, 28 January, 12:30pm

Don't get me wrong, Trafford has of course been something of a revelation, however, I do wonder if 'the odd howler' might ultimately work in our favour viz keeping him for another season? I mean, someone from City must've seen his game on Saturday and although they won't be passing judgement on that...
