    Match Thread Bournemouth (A) Sat 10th

    I agree if we give them space to play and pick passes to their runners from midfield and front men we will be soundly beaten. Against Bournemouth, at least it’ll give us a chance of a result

    How many points do we need

    The mood swings on this forum is amazing. We were relegated by numerous people after the QPR match. Personally, I'm still cautious of what will be required to stay up, as Wycombe and Wednesday are showing some recent improvements. The last few fixtures could spring up some strange results and...

    It’s a shame that we are not playing Bristol City at home with both teams needing a point 😉

    Fitness in General

    Fitness is not just reliant on the training loads, as the best prepared sessions cannot compensate for players, lifestyle, eating and drinking habits. Do our players abstain from alcohol, ensure they sleep consistently within the same time lines (ie not going to bed at 2-3am once a week), fully...

    Robins just been on the Argos advert.

    My thoughts exactly. We would try to sell Hamer & O’Hare to reduce wage bill, not complete the Sheaf deal or pursue James. Restart next season with all players on adjusted wages for relegation.

    Aidy Boothroyd

    I found that statement from Bothroyd disturbing given the talent at his disposal. He mutters on about players not getting opportunities for first team football, but has a squad that has included: Ramsdale, Aarons, Sessegnon x2, Cantwell, Davies, Jones, McNeil, Skipp, Bewster, Hudson-Odoi...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    It's Thanks OSB - If I have interpreted this thread correctly.....the business plan for the funds investors makes sense. If the investment was circa £14m from the SISU master fund and Avro....realising £1.5M in interest is a great return as I can’t think of too many other investments that give...

    Congratulations

    Thanks to BCFC for giving us a place to play .... and the staff were really helpful and friendly (unlike some at the Ricoh) . Fingers crossed that both clubs stay up.

    Sorry - forgot them.....you are right, especially for those people living across towards Rugby and Daventry.

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    Agree - why would anyone invest in a failing business model, unless they can see an alternative strategy that could radically change the prospects of the club? The success of the Exeter model is based on years of community engagement and a positive identity with the region. The later is...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    Agree - our cost base is significantly lower than most clubs. We desperately need to stay up this season, so we can build on what's been developed. Obviously, there are clubs in the Championship making use of maximising their loses over a three year cycle with the hope of big growth in income...

    Wasps losses and ricoh return catalyst

    Wasps will face some serious challenges when they have to refinance the bonds.

    I'm waiting for the next set of reasons why some people won't attend matches.......will it be "I don't like the shade of sky blue kit this season" or "St A wasn't our stadium, but nor is the Ricoh"? Get behind the team...whatever league we are in!

    Robins reaction - so what’s going to change

    The international break may have come at a good time for us, as we are struggling and it’s an opportunity to re-set and reflect. I worry about going into the last nine games without Dabo & Kelly. On the plus side we have chance to get Godden and Walker closer to fitness and maybe up to 60 mins...

    Match Thread Wycombe

    I'm worried about tomorrow and people discounting Wycombe as "no hopers" who we will beat easily are over confident. We will need to be very strong dealing with crosses into the penalty area and losing Mc Fadz is problematic, as this is one game he is very suited for. I wonder if we will set...

    Match Thread Wycombe

    I think was interesting that MR substituted both Hamer & O'Hare early in the second half. IMO with a view for saving them for this Saturdays match. Both of those players probably cover the greatest distance every match and a higher proportion than other players at a higher intensity. I would...

    I apologise for saying Matty James flatters to deceive

    Prior to the season, I thought the step up from L1 to Championship was going to be a tough one and I always predicted a relegation dog fight. I was amazed to read of some on here predicting a push for the play-offs. However, what I never appreciated was the amount of injuries we would suffer...

    Wilson

    whoever's in goal on Saturday will need to be far more decisive and show ability to dominate their penalty’ area. I would bet Wycombe will be bombarding our penalty area with crosses at every opportunity.

    Wilson should have done better on first goal and contributed to McFadz being sent off by not dealing with the cross.
