    I get that and I thought the same last week, but it worked and it should today too. It’s a very good technical side as well, that midfield four can play round most teams, we just need Baka to put the inevitable numerous chances away.

    I see that as a massive positive. Ideally we’d have a Kelly or McFadz to add some experience, but it’s a great endorsement of our club.

    Only one defender on the bench as opposed to the million we normally have - that’s a positive. O’Hare, Kast, Bapaga and Burroughs all attacking and potentially able to change the game. Starting XI looks strong to me, not sure the concern. Granted not the most attacking midfield, but it worked...

    FA Cup Second Round Draw

    I’ve been there a fair few times due to work and even now I’m still surprised at the number of pubs in such a small, shit hole of a town. Some of which are open when I’m driving to my meeting at 11am.....

    Despite the lack of striking options and the McFadz suspension, I’m hoping he sticks to the 3-5-2 formation (or a slight variant as per Colchester) that has been serving us well attacking wise. Drysdale seems good enough from what I’ve seen, albeit a league fixture will be different to U23’s...

    Confident of a victory, despite their impressive league cup run and form. I think MR will have them fired up, as momentum is important, especially heading into a tough few league games. The team will be a mixture of first team and youth/fringe, with the former the majority. Whatever team he...

    Sam McCallum

    Even when McCallum came into the team last year and had a few rabbit in the headlight moments it was clear he had potential. Plus, he has the physical attributes which further enhance his ability. However, if big clubs weren’t rumoured to be interested would we be having this debate? Mason was...

    Be a disaster. Anyone who supports this is obviously too blinded by SISU hate to think properly. It’s worrying that councillors are commenting and accounts are popping up. I really hope there isn’t anything to it. The worst thing is people will see the headline, ignore the content and it will...

    I’m trying to be optimistic! And to be fair, we have a hell of a lot of injuries.

    Fair enough if that’s your opinion. I haven’t yet though, but equally I’d love to sign a striker in Jan!

    In your opinion he was poor. As I’ve said in a few posts, the two chances he missed were poor, but I actually thought his overall play was better than previous games (which is actually what I said). Anyway, good discussion, let’s pick it up tomorrow as I’m off out now. Enjoy the Devon.

    Yep I noticed that and guessed that was the case, but even so, if he’s our main U23 striker and we have no others, he has to be worth a go? It’s a desperate move, but the other option is to give Kast a go and I’m not convinced he is actually a footballer.

    I think what’s happened here is Grendel has done his usual and taken a post out of context and gone for the dramatic extravagant viewpoint. If you look back, I backed Bakayoko to play well today. He’s our player why wouldn’t I want him to play well? That doesn’t mean I’m backing him to be the...

    I haven’t backed a dud, I’ve shown confidence in a player who plays for our club and is our only available striker. Would I have signed him? No. Would I prefer another striker? Yes. But he is who we have now, and he does have attributes, he just needs to pull them together. I don’t get the put...

    Today was by no means our best performance, we looked disjointed and there was no real style or flow to our play. However we did more than enough to win the game. I really feel for Baka, I actually thought he looked better today, but his finishing really let him down. Unfortunately that will...

    Next time I’ll hope we lose, play terribly and all our players get injured. But hey, at least you get to be gleeful this way.

    Ref has lost control and I can see him giving something stupid because of it. Not sure it was red either, his eyes were on the ball.
