    Simple Thread: Points & Position

    If we are still in with a chance of 3rd place come the last day of the season we will hopefully get a good gate against Morecambe.

    If you looked at the poll that was taken, not many were calling for him to be sacked.

    A record breaking season awaits us?

    It is taking longer than I thought it would to build any momentum with attendances. Eight thousand against second in the league Luton is poor for us. A combination of things I suppose, but poor performances, lack of goals and until recently, no real momentum would all have contributed to some...

    A record breaking season awaits us?

    Not being negative, but any lower than second will be the lowest in our league history. Another record

    We have played a number of League One sides this season. We have only been out played by Blackburn when we fielded a weakened team. I think a few additions could see us okay.

    Sisu

    There is no way back for Sisu. They have demonstrated time and again that they have no regard for the club or the fans and continue to do this with legal action that is detrimental to the club. As for supporting Robins, it seems they gave him his budget and have left him to get on with it. The...

    Kyle Reid

    I wondered this too.

    Kyle Reid

    Reid is a traditional winger, someone who can take on and beat a defender. I don’t think either a Vincenti or Shipley have that in their game.

    He has been injured and missed a few games early on.

    I would agree with most of this and would certainly start with JCH. Biamou, in my opinion, doesn’t deserve the abuse he gets from a blinkered few on here.

    I felt he was nervous and hesitant with kicking no better than that of Burge in the first two games. Two howlers that cost points in the next two games. I saw him at Walsall in the Checkatrade where he might have done better with their late equaliser. Against Stoke I felt he was all over the...

    Neither. Just like to be fair and give players credit when they play well. Off the top of my head today Biamou: flicked the ball on with his head ( a directed header which you say he can’t do) that put Reid away. He played McNulty in for his disallowed fourth goal and he used Mc Nulty as a...

    I’ve not been impressed by O’Brien at all this season until the Crewe game. Made mistakes in every other performance. I think Haynes, Burge and a few others will never get any credit when they do play well as opinion on them is set and cannot be changed. Haynes wasn’t great today but did but in...

    You’re wrong, he is a good footballer at this level ( as he proved again today), just not a good goal scorer. You are the chap who said he should never play for the team again before saying “how pleased for the lad” you were when he scored at MK a week later. You have also been calling for...

    Favourite ever goal?

    That was a great start to that season. First two games were at home (as was the tradition then, first two games either home or away). The first game we beat Tottenham 1-0, second game Hutch’s goal beat Liverpool. What a good exciting team we had back then; Stein, Carr, Mortimer, Alderson, Ernie...

    Favourite ever goal?

    Dean Nelson ( think that’s his name) the chap with all the City videos, had an event at Fargos a couple of years ago showing some of his films of City games. Hutch’s goal at Arsenal was one of the clips he had. At the end of the session I asked him about the clip and he said that one of the ITV...

    Favourite ever goal?

    Graham Westley was their manager for that game. I remember the ball rolling out of play towards him, he shaped to trap it and then lifted his foot so it could roll away. Preston at that time reflected the manager. I hate time wasting (from us as well) and Preston in that game took it to a new...

    Two of my sons were mascots at that game.
