    Midweek games affecting L2 clubs

    I did say a high probability, not a certainty, based on Accrington have been as inconsistent as any side in the top seven earlier in the season, they are on a good run now, but are possibly only one or two injuries away from another mediocre run. Also they have one of the toughest run-ins of all...

    Midweek games affecting L2 clubs

    No panic yet, if we beat Accrington we will be only 2 points behind them, with a good probability either them or Wycombe will hit a bad run of results. Personally I'm glad Swindon lost, I see them as a bigger threat than Accrington.

    Reid's Loan Expires on the 6th

    I suspect Reid is a very worried man right now, age 30 and potentially on the scrap heap. He obviously thinks (or thought) clubs would fall over themselves to get his signature, now realisation is setting in. Last chance saloon doesn't begin to describe his current situation. If he ever plays...

    Delusion

    It hit me when we beat Stoke, and everyone on TV made such a big thing about a L2 team beating a premiership team. Almost the same as when Sutton Utd beat us. Having supported them since we were in the old league 2 in 1965, I still see us as a sleeping giant. (You can give me a red card because...

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    Yes, agree with this but it just grates a bit to think of him sitting there taking his salary until the end of the season and doing nothing for it. Personally I hope we don't need him, but if we do, because of injuries for example, would hate to think we missed out on promotion while paying a...

    Coventry transfer deadline day

    Looking at the Reid situation logically, MR should sit down with him and get him on board until the end of the season. The current situation has got to be down to a battle of wills and pride, neither wanting to make the first move. Reid has 2 choices IMO to decide his future. Knuckle down with...

    The last goal looked like a rehearsed training ground move to me (lol)

    L2 games today

    Yes, Colchester & Crawley 11th & 12th have played 2 games more than us. Personally I think the 3 teams who will miss out on a top 7 spot are Notts County, Exeter, and Lincoln

    Taxi on the way

    My understanding has always been that "unquote" is a corruption of end quote, used so often in modern language that it has become the norm, but still wrong in pure english. It is called an eggcorn. Similar ones include on tenderhooks (tenterhooks) one fowl swoop (fell swoop) and could of won...

    Chances of Making The Playoffs

    Yes, our home form will be the key. Last 4 home games we took 12 points, last 8 home games we took a total of 14 points. Cambridge, Lincoln, Barnet, Grimsby, Yeovil, Stevenage, Morecambe are all to come at home and we should be looking to win at least 5 of these and not lose any. The odd loss...

    Chances of Making The Playoffs

    Home wins against Cambridge, Lincoln, Barnet, Grimsby, Yeovil, Stevenage, Morecambe, and 2 away wins from the likes of Forest Green, Crewe, Crawley, Cheltenham with a couple of other draws thrown in should see enough points to finish in the playoffs. (29 - 30 points) OK February looks a tough...

    If it was, shame we couldn't compete against Swindon, but at least it means we are serious about getting someone who can score goals

    Is The FA Cup Becoming a Millstone To Us?

    Having fallen out of the playoff places, the next 2 weeks could define our season in the context of whether we will be challenging for promotion. We have Swindon at home next week, then the following week we play in the 4th round while most L2 teams have a league game. If we don't beat Swindon...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    I get what you are saying, this is MR's post-match transcript, according to the Telegraph. "It's a really proud day" - Mark Robins' post-match transcript “I think if we can get another good draw away from home then that helps financially because it gets more interest in it, more supporters will...

    Round 4 : who do you want ?

    I don't know what you mean really, not sure how much they charged for Friday's game but here are their official ticket prices for the FA cup. http://www.manutd.com/pix/Emails/Files/2017/MEM081Prem-FACup-Pricing.pdf Even at £10 per ticket they would pull in £740,000 gross
