Re: To be continued. Home to Cheltenham, Tues Jan 23rd , 7-45.

I hate to admit it but the back line is missing Jones. It's his leadership more than anything. I think somebody said that Toal is better with Santos at the back but I think it's when they're both in there. 100% agree. Jones is a massive miss. He's another one the whingeing "fans" (read: Pricks) lik...

Re: To be continued. Home to Cheltenham, Tues Jan 23rd , 7-45.

Looked on Twitter post match first few posts saying exactly what I feel after that. Need some signings urgently as this is a team that looks like it is running on empty. Three or four in. We were let’s be honest second best today. Cheltenham had almost double the efforts we had and more on target. ...

In fairness to Insano, if the convo is somewhere between "fortunate" and "very fortunate" that's pretty much the same place using the prevailing exchange rate...
Does seem a tempered view from Insano. He's not specifically dug a player out for being terrible.

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

Key areas have been under stocked all season. Whilst I don't entirely disagree, playing devil's advocate and all that, we got to the end of the first half season 2nd in the league with a couple of games in hand, whilst progressing in 2 cups OK, so maybe we haven't been under-stocked at all? Only no...

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

We should have plenty of money in reserve for 2 or 3 decent signings in January as they must still have plenty (and I mean plenty) of the fans bond money left - what was it £4.5M, where has that gone ? I don't know, but those 2 47" HD TVs they've put in the corners must have been, ooh, £600 each......

No. Where we tired / could we have done without flogging ourselves on Tuesday? Yes. Is that the reason we couldn’t pass wind, let alone a football today? No! The ...

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

So Santos is back to being a pub player. Vic presumably was a liability again. Squad isn't big enough. Players we do have aren't good enough. Our manager is crap. I suppose all we're missing to make BWFCi happy is being able to blame poor Dan.... But, as he also points out (regularly....), it's dead...

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

Sheehan was incredible. As was Thomason, who must have added about £20m to his value for his all-round performance - before knocking about £10m back off with his sky-bound effort. But what a goal it would have been. Adeboyejo was fantastic in a much more "target-man" sort of role - he had Mengi on ...

Oh no, how very sad. Condolences and thoughts with his friends and family.

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

Howdy all, I'm trying a different style of spring in the couch tonight. I really would appreciate if those who have a key to the door could jump on it for the first ten minutes of the game to see if it holds up to the extra weight. If it holds then the rest of the season will be a doddle. Cheers. I...

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

For me, FWIW, I thought we left ourselves short at the end of the last window and got away with it through a frankly startling run of wins. I don't want us to have to get away with it again. I worry that our first-choice wingbacks are overused, and I worry that without Dion we're dreadfully weak up...

I'm sure they've got people who's job is to work this out, but these games always feel like a missed opportunity to me. You've got the attendance on the day, but I think you've also got to think about getting kids hooked. Free kid's ticket with every adult sale or something like that. Christ knows ...

Aye - agreed. I'm sure there are people employed at the club who are far better placed to mode this, but just theorising here, but if we charge as proposed we might get, say, 9,000 (complete guess....), which is gate receipts of £150,000 (splitting arbitrarily between adult (5k), over 65 & kids (2k ...

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

I guess on a very simplistic economic basis, to charge a tenner they'd have to be confident of getting twice as many people as at £20 (excluding ancilliary additional income from drinks etc). If they didn't think that was going to be the case - and I can strongly see why this might be - then probabl...
