We could put Lati or Eccles at RB but, as I said, I prefer MVE there rather than moving him to RW.

Let’s see if I can get this thread back to football and Tats in particular. Raphael is the cover for him but as you know he is out injured as well. A lot of teams will struggle if they lose both their first and second choices in a particular position. I reckon Bassette or BTA could play there...

It’s not impossible of course but I think MR will bring about an improvement in form before then. Hopefully we will strengthen the midfield in January and then see how things go from there. I don’t see King as someone who will make a knee-jerk reaction. Equally, I do think he is someone who...

I would select a similar team, although I would pick Wright and one of Bassette/Simms/BT-A as our starting strikers. There are arguments to be had about whether Kitching should start but I’m not unhappy with your choice. I certainly think this formation would suit us better, principally by...

I think Doug King is the best person we have had running the club since Derrick Robins, although not many of you will be old enough to remember him. Of course we all want success on the pitch, no-one more than me, but King’s primary responsibility is to ensure that the club has a sustainable...

I’m not sure that I understand your point. If I was ten stones lighter, six inches taller, fifty years younger and was good at football I’d be Haji Wright. 😊

I totally agree. I also don’t get why we don’t use MVE’s long throws a bit more. Not to be overdone but it can be a useful tactic.

Which shows that we have not lived up to expectations. It’s still very early in the season, so let’s hope we can get back on track. 🤞

I think Haji Wright has been one of our better players this season. Simms hasn’t achieved much but in fairness to him he hasn’t had great service.

We’re not. Most of the bookmakers have us down to finish outside the playoffs.

Despite our recent wins against them, Oxford are a decent side. They are in the top third and The Blades only need a draw at home to Watford tomorrow to consign us to the bottom third. Oxford beat PNE, a side we hardly ever beat, 3-1 this afternoon. I do think we will finish above Oxford in...

I disagree. It was most definitely a poor performance but we need to lift the team not get on their backs. That will just make their heads drop and won’t help to improve the performance level.

We were OK in the first half but awful in the second. I fear that the team will be booed off at the end, which I hate to see. We need to give the lads a lift.

If it stays like this we will be well down in the bottom half after the afternoon games have been played. ☹️

I was about to say Simms off when we substituted him. Slightly surprised - but pleased - to see Bassette on this early.

Currently below Norwich in the table ☹️

Nooooooooooooo! ☹️

Probably an enforced change because of Saka’s injury but good to see EMC coming on.

Not the Saka we all know and love but he’s not been awful.

Binks is having a good game.
