Comparing previous seasons provides a guide that might be useful at the start of the season but this far into the season a better guide is to see the average points per game the current 3rd & 7th placed teams have & transpose it to a 46 game season. Doing this indicates that this season the...

Not quite sure how anyone could represent the different views expressed on here. Grendel & Italia, Nick & Tony, Jekyll & Hyde. Best send Otis!!

Completely agree with this - Trollope & Carbonari were terrible signings. I honestly believe we would have finished in the play offs that season if Nilsson had Richard Money alongside him, rather than having the disruption of having Jim Smith forced on him. The following 16 years could then have...

I've seen this £125k figure on a few threads now' Has this figure been released officially, or is it just something someone has made up that people have decided to buy into? If there is anything to this I suspect it is more likely that this is his wages that we have taken over, rather than a fee...

That's because as fans we all want new players to be better than what we have, and are always optimistic that they will be until they prove otherwise. Of course there's always youtube clips and the FIFA geeks to help the process too, and no doubt this Summer we will get the same excitement...

The atmosphere was largely flat because of the awful game on show. That match in front of 7,000 would have been awful with every cat call heard by the players on the pitch. Not surprised at the half time walk out either given the free tickets were aimed at very young kids with short attention...

Don't think it's as simple as you're making out. Portsmouth fans rallied around their club when they reached this league, but that was helped by losing the owners who had mismanaged them into League 2, and they had becoming fan owned. I'm not sure their support would have stuck with them in such...

Yes they must have done. It's a shame the take up on the freebies wasn't as good as expected, even given the poor performance they missed.

JMD seems very lightweight. He doesn't seem particularly quick for a winger, or have the tricks to beat a full back. We seem to be badly missing Doyle's drive & leadership, with Bayliss not looking the same player in his absence. Kelly really needs to step up 2nd half & show he can cover Doyle's...

Fair enough. I thought the old club shop was just Wasps stuff. Where is it? Sorry - just seen Chiefdave's post about the exhibition centre. Also if the club are maximising this other revenue source then i would expect they will be making much more money from this game at these cheaper prices...

An issue on a day like this is that the cut backs the club have made in running costs mean we can't maximise revenue from having a club shop or merchandising outlet at the ground, that would otherwise make up for the lost revenue from reduced ticket prices. Another unknown is how many will be...

You are right to an extent but there are a couple of variables that could still affect the gate. It is conceivable that every 'available' ticket is sold and yet the attendance will still not be 30,000, while it is also unclear how many of the free ticket holders will actually show up.

Being a season ticket holder doesn't preclude you from being a twat!!

Just wrote on another thread that this inadvertantly might force us into a system that might suit us playing both Kelly & Doyle in the middle as Robins so obviously prefers. If he plays 3 at the back (Willis/ Hyam/ McDonald) with wing backs (DKE/ Shipley or Haynes), he could play Doyle & Kelly...

Good points well put. I agree Kelly is a better footballer, but he doesn't strike me as a leader like Doyle, who even in his mid 30's still covers more ground & than most and makes life easier for the likes of Bayliss. That said this is such an attritional league that both will be needed to...

Not living in Cov at the minute so I don't know if this is the case, but when I did & similar deals were on offer, I never thought they were publicised very well. I mentioned the Accrington deal to my son, who has only been to one game this season, so the type of supporter I guess this deal is...

Disagree on the Kelly v Doyle point. While I agree Doyle was pretty woeful yesterday, I think Doyle himself plays better when Kelly doesn't play. Having another holding midfield player alongside him just isn't necessary in League 2. It might be interesting to see how Kelly & Bayliss might do...

Who is they? Villa & Dublin's agent maybe, but he was still our player and badly advised not to play. It is water under the bridge now, though & I have long since forgiven him for not playing in the Luton match, or later on tapping up Boateng on Villa's behalf. He has a rightful place as one of...

I guess a fair few in that MK figure were Cov fans who had tickets for their part of the ground & in hospitality.
