    We need some leadership from somewhere though to get us through a promotion campaign. There's very little leadership in our defence which gets sucked too deep too often - no-one in there demanding them to get up the pitch. Kelly isn't shy to have a moan but he's carrying a very young team on his...

    Silence Is deafening

    I reckon Boddy and Eastwood already got together on Tuesday evening to thrash a deal out and now they're in the middle of a 72 hour bender. Boddy's on the cider with vodka bombs and taking MDMA while Eastwood is sniffing coke from Boddy's cleavage and drinking Guiness shandy, Guinness topped...

    Robins

    I thought he made L2 a lot harder work than it needed to be and that the majority of the season we weren't adding up to the sum of our parts. Have to give him credit for assembling that squad in one window on the back of that awful relegated squad though and then for getting us through the...

    Robins

    Messiah level = When he runs into the centre circle after Shrewsbury game, cuts his palm with a knife, before spelling out FUCK OFF COUNCIL + FUCK YOU WASPS on the pitch, drip by drip in his sky blue blood.

    Why is everyone ignoring Peterborough who are 3 points ahead of us with better goal difference and a game in hand? Am I missing something?

    Amazing stat

    Have to tweak the formation at home for me, particularly against the lower teams or teams happy for a point at the Ricoh. I'd drop one of the 2 deeper midfielders for a body further up the pitch, probably a 2nd striker. Chaplin in to play alongside Bakayoko, or Hiwula central and Wakefield out...

    Shipley or Bayliss at CM

    I do watch him and he does put tackles in. Gets in an awful lot of defensive work for a winger/forward and I love his tenacity and that he's a bit of a gobshite. He also gets knocks needing physio treatment multiple times every game, granted not all from his own tackles, but his challenge on 75...

    Shipley or Bayliss at CM

    Not many midfielders are 'ball winners' in the traditional sense anymore. If you're a defensive midfielder it's all high intensity pressing, getting a toe in and anticipating the 2nd ball. The way to win the ball back has evolved as the game itself has in the last 20 years.

    Stockdale/Burge

    Actually when two of our non league strikers scored it was your silence that was deafening, not your words.

    Stockdale/Burge

    Not a peep out of him on the match thread during the game until the 41st minute when Burge fucked up.

    An entertaining perspective on yesterday

    Everyone is talking about Doncaster but Peterborough are also 3 points ahead of us with a game in hand while Burton are a point behind in a hot streak. It needs a miracle.
