    Millwall Match Report TLS

    Spoiler warning - contains some non-football (PG) content. http://thelonelyseason.club/match-reports/once-twice-three-times-a-paedo It is both painful and unhelpful to make reference to last season’s corresponding fixture. Suffice to say, just a year and countless bad decisions later, today’s...

    The one with no strikers - TLS

    'A lot has happened since I last entered the Ricoh: in a victory for democracy and an abject disaster for holiday goers nationwide, Great the-grass-definitely-looks-greener Britain annexed itself from Europe, consigning middle England to a lifetime of damp summers in Bognor, eating plentiful...

    Swindon away TLS report #1

    'The game started and I felt lost. Who were all these players. Only 2 remained from our opening day over Wigan last season – don’t make the comparison. I just did and it’s frightening.' Here's report number one. Taxing.

    Longcaster - TLS summary

    On Saturday, continuing my season-long pilgrimage to every featureless hamlet of the nation, I visited The Keepmoat Stadium, home of Doncaster Rovers. In appearance, this place is part-retail park, part-rehabilitation centre, placed confusingly amongst a Tellytubby-esque topography of fake...

    You're something special; we lose every week

    http://thelonelyseason.club/match-reports/you-re-something-special-we-lose-every-week If you found yourself in Coventry on Saturday you could be forgiven for thinking that the city was expecting the delivery of a nuclear warhead, a fused delegation from ISIS, the Taliban, and the PKK, and a...

    The Road to the Third Tier

    As the teams came out, it was hard not to think back to that mirage-like memory of the season’s first day: blazing sunshine; gf in-tow (she doesn’t even pretend to be interested any more); new players scoring new kinds of goals; clean sheets, thugs and harmony. Fast forward to today: Wigan...

    The Layoffs - Gillingham (a)

    A proofed report...hopefully... of Gillingham away. In a town (near) where the greatest Briton of all spoke his last words and wished to be buried, this famous Coventry City side, that will go down in history for its monumental deceptiveness, spoke a few more limp-wristed words, and failed to...

    Hope is a dangerous thing

    Colchester Home - Read the rest of the report here On Tuesday afternoon I encountered a dilemma which I imagine will now occur in the build up to every single one of our remaining fixtures: either go to the game and hope (in spite of the avalanche of information indicating otherwise) for some...

    Not with a bang, but a whimper

    'The first half was a one-sided affair, and for once, it was in our favour. I had a little squabble with someone at half time who claimed that Peterborough’s keeper was having a stormer and we’d missed a string of chances. Having watched the highlights, I’m a big enough man to admit I was...

    There are no bad ideas

    Swindon at home. I took a different route to the game to try and shake the monkey off the back of our home form. End result: a slaloming 30-minute canal journey abruptly ended by a puncture. This dead raven added to my good vibes. The journey did, however, remind me that there are worse things...

    Seeking asylum in Blackpool - TLS

    Blackpool Match Report: The rare moments of class - a searching diagonal ball from Fleck; a perfectly timed sliding tackle from Martin - quickly sank into the murky mediocrity to be expected from two sides so completely bereft of form and confidence. Before the half hour we won a corner...

    Why does everything turn from gold....

    Rochdale at home. Full report here At the start of this season, or, more to the point, at the tail end of last season, if you’d offered any Cov fan the chance to be 6th in the league after two thirds of the season, they would, I admit, have bitten your hand off - me included. Now that we’ve...
